Transcend
Transcend is the latest novel from author J S Gray, about love, gender, sexuality and friendship within the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
It’s hard being an introvert. It’s even harder if you're an aspiring writer with nothing to write about.
Not only has Nate’s best friend moved away to university, but his girlfriend has been cheating on him. Starting a new job in a coffee shop should at least keep him busy.
The beginning of term brings an influx of new students to town and in walks Angelo. It doesn’t take long for Nate to serve the handsome stranger, and some unusual feelings he’d never expected.
Popular and full of confidence, the aspiring singer and LGBTQ+ activist takes Nate under his wing. It’s not long before Nate is surrounded by a host of colourful characters in the local gay bar. But before he confesses his love, Angelo has revelations of his own.
As Nate learns about his sexuality and who he wants to become, Angelo also has one or two things to learn about himself on his way to superstardom.
Supporting one another, Nate and Angelo might just achieve their goals of becoming global successes...

To Transcend, To Be Myself
‘Nate turned to him as they both sat on the bed. He leant over and gently kissed Angelo. Now they were doing it, both of them realised it was the one thing they had both wanted to do since the very first time they spoke.’
Nate’s story of becoming true to himself is moving and painful and reminds us all that we should be able to be that person that may be carefully taking up a small part of our hearts.
