Zack Smedley was born and raised in southern Maryland, in an endearing county almost no one has heard of. He has a degree in Chemical Engineering from UMBC and currently works within the field. As a member of the LGBT community, his goal is to give a voice to marginalized young adults through gritty, morally complex narratives. He spends his free time building furniture, baking, tinkering with electronics, and managing his obsession with the works of Aaron Sorkin. DEPOSING NATHAN is his first novel.

Not a question? Just a thank you. From a bisexual woman who grew up very Mormon, has denounced the religion, and is still hanging on to at least a little Christianity. And a thank you from a fellow author writing about LGBTQ issues. You inspire me. And your book was fantastic.

I鈥檝e heard this book deals with domestic abuse (a reader compared the aunt to a muggle Dolores Umbridge), but does it stray into sexual abuse as well (between the two boys)? I just want to be prepared if so! Also as a librarian for southern Maryland and growing up in one of the most southern counties, it makes me happy as a bisexual/Pan/still figuring it out woman to have representation from the area! 鉂わ笍

Zack Smedley Sorry for the late response! There is no sexual abuse in this one. I have a detailed list of content warnings here: 鈥辞谤别Sorry for the late response!

8) To My Readers

Oh, my dear readers. Well鈥ere we are. I鈥檝e sat at this desk for the past 8 weeks chronicling my journey, and this post tonight marks the end of it. The last chapter of this story, and the beginning of a very different one. It鈥檚 astounding how fast these things go by, isn鈥檛 it?

(Bizarre analogy, but this post feels like the equivalent of Doctor Who giving a speech before they regenerate. I can jus

Quotes by Zack Smedley (?)

“If you think you need to earn enough points on someone鈥檚 rubric for them to accept you, then either you鈥檙e wrong to assume they won鈥檛 love you for who you are, or they never loved you in the first place.”

“I鈥檝e spent every minute of these past months trying to figure out why I feel the things I feel, and if there鈥檚 a way to put that into words, I won鈥檛 find it. I am who I am. I鈥檝e never acted on less than that, and I never want to.”

“Lay your memories down and out them to rest. They aren鈥檛 going anywhere; not tomorrow and not ever. No one can change them or undo the fact that they got made. But it鈥檚 time to let them rest now.”
