A work in progress


Dear reader,
I’m Weston—a queer writer who came of age in a world where doctrine ruled, doubt was punished, and conformity was survival. I write to reclaim what that world tried to silence.

In the spirit of urgency and with the hope of reaching those who need it most I released the early manuscript of BANNED: unedited, unguarded, and wholly mine. Then the unexpected happed.

Even in manuscript form, BANNED rose to the top of both Apple and Kindle charts with downloads spanning 40+ contries and thousands of downloads.

The global response and the momentum affirmed what I felt in my bones: stories like this matter.

Now, I’ve talken the BANNED manuscript offline to refine and develop. To every beta reader, donor, and supporter: thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The forthcoming professionally edited version is enriched with dozens of new unearthed memories, layered with deeper emotion, and elevated into something beautifully, fully realized.

Thank you for taking this journey with me.
