I'm the author of cool, sometimes controversial teen books, including the Rainbow Boys trilogy, The God Box, Getting It, and the Lambda Award-winning middle-grade novel So Hard to Say. My novel, Bait, won the Florida Book Award Gold Medal for YA fiction. My newest book is the graphic novel from DC Comics, You Brought Me the Ocean. I received my master’s degree in guidance and counseling from Old Dominion University and for many years worked as a youth and family counselor. Visit me at www.AlexSanchez.com.
