About the Book

From the author of "The PC Lie: How American Voters Decided I Don't Matter."IN 1995, LOGAN RAMSAY lived with a secret. It was a secret that only his father and best friend Ezra knew about. But for a popular kid in a small Ohio football town, so many other temptations and adventures await! But once 2002 comes around, Robert Ramsay gets deployed to Afghanistan, leaving 18-year-old Logan to fend for himself against the scariest demons imaginable: the ones inside his own head. How will he manage to cope with them, especially when Ezra isn't around anymore either? Well, sort of. She's Ellie now.The first novel since Marissa Alexa McCool's transition (four previous, six books total), is a different take on the teenage small-town story from the "badass mistress of the written word and podcasting universe. (Utah Outcasts.)" With additional writings from Kathleen Van Cleve (Drizzle, Cranberry Queen), Lucinda Lugeons (The Scathing Atheist), and many more.
About the Author: Marissa Alexa McCool is a podcast host, author, columnist, LGBT-rights activist, speaker, and stage performer whose goal is to speak out, speak loudly, and bring visibility to LGBT issues. As host of the Inciting Incident podcast, she begins conversations on difficult topics in current events. In addition to many different interviews, such as with Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, Dan Arel, Matthew O'Neil, Noam Chomsky, Chris Kluwe, Dr. Bruce Kuklick, P. Andrew Torrez, Esq., Tim O'Neill, and Alison Flowers, she hosts individual topics and conversations about LGBT rights, transgender visibility, suicide and mental health awareness, and the myths of PC Culture. McCool writes a blog, a column, and has authored seven books, including The PC Lie: How American Lives Decided I Don't Matter, and False Start: A Novel. The blog goes hand-in-hand with the podcast, but discusses issues on a more immediate level. She's used it recently as a way to shine light on the everyday experience of a transperson on a personal level as well as societal, which was also the main idea of her book The PC Lie. An activist in the LGBT community, she's focused on being present to help with difficult questions to personalize and rationalize the issues that transpeople face. She was cast in two different productions of The Vagina Monologues, and was the first-ever transgender person in 17 years to appear in UPenn's V-Day production of the show. She has spoken and performed improv at the Tekko convention in Pittsburgh for three years running, has been invited to various Pride festivals including this year's Utah Pride, and will be one of the many guests to attend ReAsonCon3 in Hickory, North Carolina. Future appearances have been scheduled in Florida, Vermont, California, Illinois, and the list of states is likely to continue to grow. Marissa's main goal is to bring awareness and visibility to all LGBT people, especially those marginalized within the transgender community because of the recent bathroom bills attacking their rights to use bathrooms that match their gender identity. Marissa has been lovingly nicknamed "The Purple Amazon" for her bright purple hair, "Superqueer" affectionately for her openness about her identity and sexuality, and most notably, "the badass mistress of the podcast and written word universe" by the fine people at Utah Outcasts. She lives in central Pennsylvania with her husband and two children and will graduate university this spring of 2017.
