"Refuse" by Elliott DeLine - Smashwords
Description:
‘All writers are born in the wrong body, but it happens to be the reader’s good fortune that Elliott DeLine was literally born in the wrong body – even if he would never use a tacky tranny cliché like that. Refuse is a stunning debut “novoir” about an over-observant young outsider with really great hair who is outside everything – including the transgender community – but keeps a great deal bottled up inside. Funny, cynical, tough, vulnerable, honest, deluded, sagacious, self-loving and self-loathing, Refuse is irresistible.’ -Mark Simpson, author of Saint Morrissey
Dean, a 22 year old female-to-male transsexual, is everything that activists have tried to prove transgender people are not. Unemployed, self-absorbed, depressed, and still living in the upstairs bedroom of his parents’ house, he decides to document his would-be relationship with his college roommate, another FTM, Colin Mahr. He sets out to write a vengeful memoir- what he ends up with is a literary masterpiece.
'Refuse' stands apart from the feel-good transgender memoirs and the fiction about trans people written by non-trans authors. It is an honest, human story, and will undoubtedly appeal to your excellent taste.

...I would love a readership of Morrissey fans- so far I've mostly reached the transgender community. However, more than anything else, the book is about a boy's love for Morrissey and his life's work. I think it would appeal to many people who love him as well.
