Mike Coleman, Author

My husband Ted and I have been together for nearly 50 years. I’ve written a book about us. And won a cool award for it.

When we met in 1977, you could lose everything by coming out. Your job. Your friends. Your family. Against the odds, Ted and I staked out a life together. It wasn’t easy, but the struggle was always worth it. And the ending? Why, it’s a happy one, of course.

THE WAY FROM ME TO US is our story. NOW AVAILABLE from Riverdale Avenue Books. An Audible version is also in the works.
