Miles to Go

by Jerry Moreno

Unemployed, nearly broke, and deeply in the closet, Toby desperately needs some direction in his life. Then he meets Wayne, who seems to have it all together.

Coming out is something Toby never thought he’d do. Living in a small town with a deeply religious mother makes him believe he’ll be alone forever. Wayne, although surrounded by a loving and supportive family, aches for the feeling of true love.

They embark on an adventurous journey together to Nashville, New Orleans, and Dallas, which gives Toby the opportunity to figure out who he is and who he wants to be. Wayne sees in him the chance for a deeply meaningful relationship, but only if he can find the courage to come out.

Can Wayne inspire Toby to come out? Can Toby fill the void in Wayne’s life? Will love win in the end?

About the author

I was an executive in the financial industry who left to pursue my real passion – writing. I'm an avid reader, love the theater, and I volunteer as a Paramedic with my local rescue squad. When I'm not writing, I'm cooking or playing the piano. I have three sons, a daughter-in-law and a grandson that I love and adore immensely.

I also love to travel. Last year I was fortunate enough to visit the Bahamas, Hawaii and Ireland. Previous trips include Italy, Spain, Mexico, Peru, French Polynesia, England, France, Germany, Greece, Turkey and Antigua & Barbuda. I still have 11 more states to visit to complete the full 50. Scotland, New Zealand and Australia are to-be-scheduled in the next couple of years and Scandinavia and Asia are soon to come under consideration.

Miles to Go by Jerry Moreno is a promising debut novel. Readers will appreciate Moreno's writing style and his protagonists. This reader, for one, looks forward to his next story.

This was a great HEA! It was such an interesting story that I can honestly say I’ve never read before. I really enjoyed getting to learn more about trucking, and I felt like the family/religious aspect of the story was very well done. Wonderful debut book!
