Publisher Marketing: "Into the lake?" "Into the lake." For Jesse Stetson, a boy who knows he is different and Dylan Sterling, Jesse's best friend, Sander's Lake has served as a sort of scrapbook for them with sentimental items being dropped into the lake from their dock after significant events in their lives. Life in 1988 was different from today. A boy and a girl being best friends were uncommon. Not that Jesse or Dylan cared, they had each other and that's all that mattered. Or so Jesse wished. While Dylan has been meeting and dating guys, Jesse has yet to find the same connection with a girl. The closest he's come is Dylan, but she's a girl and a friend not a girlfriend. Jesse is struggling with his feelings and trying his hardest to be normal. Dylan and Jesse are growing up and possibly growing apart. Dylan has a new boyfriend and is now splitting her time with Jesse. Further to complicate things, Jesse meets Orion, a new boy in town. Jesse knows that his feelings towards Orion must be wrong, yet it feels so right. Even if Orion feels about Jesse in the same way that Jesse feels about him, should they act on their attraction? This story is a journey of friendship and discovery, finding out who you are as a person, and then being okay with who you are.

Much to his delight, fans are eagerly waiting to read what happens next with Justin, Derrick and the rest of the gang. When Jayson is not writing he enjoys reading a variety of books from different genres. He is an avid supporter of fellow Indy authors and does whatever he can to support them. Although he often denies it when asked, he also likes to draw, mostly cartooning and sketching using pencils and oil pastels. He also loves listening to music and watching movies, one or the other is constantly playing every time he is writing or drawing and even sometimes when he is reading. Although his first published works are of the gay new adult and gay young adult genre, he plans on publishing books of other genres at some point. Such as a children's book he has been contemplating for many years.
