About the Author

Gregory Gerard's work has been published by Tiny Lights, The Stone Table Review, and World Voice. He teaches writing part-time at Writers & Books, Rochester’s contemporary literary center, and has been a guest instructor at the University of Rochester's Scholars Creative Writing Program.

His memoir, In Jupiter's Shadow, chronicles a religious boy's struggle with forbidden attraction. It explores how we all receive messages about what we "should be" in life and how we sometimes work to hide truth
from the most important person in our lives: ourselves.
