Looking for Nick

Hey, everyone. NC Nest here. My story "Looking for Derek" is one that's full of heart and hormones. It was my first LGBT story, and it found tens-of-thousands of enthusiastic readers. Thank you for connecting with Nick and Derek's tale and for also sharing with me your own stories of love and fear. I wrote the first draft a couple years ago, and a few questions always lingered after writing that final chapter.

What went through Derek's mind during the highest highs and lowest lows? And what would happen if Nick and Derek had to separate (maybe their families moved, or they went to different colleges, or you know, LIFE got in the way)? Would they find their way back to one another?

Those questions have got my fingers typing again for a new book called "Looking for Nick." This time, we get in Derek's head, but we're also gonna face a big challenge in their relationship. Without giving it all away, let me share with you the first few sentences:

"If I had to rank order the three hardest days of my life so far, it would go like this:
The third hardest day of my life was the day Nick Revel let some homophobic bully shut me out of his life on the very day that I had thought we both fell in love.
The second hardest day of my life was coming out to my homophobic parents.
The hardest day of my life, though: Saying good-bye to Nick."

I hope you're excited (and just a little nervous; it's okay to be both!) and I hope you look forward to this next installment. Join us as we see what happens when Derek and Nick go to college and face the greatest challenges to their relationship yet.
