Walk This Way
by Tony Correia
A romance about a teen who feels he has to hide the fact that he does drag to get a boyfriend.
Is it really love if you’re hiding who you are?
After countless hours, Josh has nailed the drag queen look. And he’s got the Instagram followers to prove it. His next step is to perform at Poodles, the neighbourhood drag show. But when he blurts out his intentions on his very first date, his date walks out on him. Josh isn’t going to make the same mistake with the next guy; clearly not all gay guys are accepting of the drag look. So when Josh finally meets someone he likes — and who likes him back! — he keeps that side of himself hidden. But for how long?

Reviews
"The story’s lighthearted energy and zinger lines create a sitcom-esque vibe where every character is a little larger than life. There are a few poignant moments that add pathos without ruining the over-the-top vivacity. Readers will have a ball and may learn a little about LGBTQ+ history along the way."
