One year ago, Wander the Rainbow broke new ground by becoming the first-ever travel book-length first-person account of a gay man traveling solo around the world.

Over the past year, the book has repeatedly hit bestseller status in its Amazon category, received wide-ranging media attention, gone on tour around North America… and most recently, was the gold medal winner of an Independent Publisher award for Gay/Lesbian Non-Fiction (item 43 here).

So what’s on the agenda for Year Two? Plenty!

Over the summer we will be releasing an updated printing of the book with a new Afterward recounting the follow-on trip I took to Europe last month. As with my previous blog/book arrangement, the book will feature memoir-style writing with no holds barred or punches pulled… which means you’ll all get to find out what really went on with those 18-year-old gay porn stars on my last night in Copenhagen. Stay tuned…

There will also be more media coverage, possibly more book events at some spots that were missed in the original tour… and even the prospect of a movie version as there’s been some interest from the folks down in Southern California of turning this sprawling memoir into a “coming of age gay road movie” (no, I will not be playing myself, but younger, hotter versions of me are encouraged to apply.)

Wander on, everyone!
