The Raceboys - Paperback

by T. J. Johnson (Author)

Thad Nigel Thompson, often called TNT by his fans, was by far one of the best young racecar drivers on the circuit. His big break came two years ago after obtaining a ride in the top racing series, and winning the championship his first year. T had money, a beautiful house, the best racecars, and considered the top star on the track. He thought he was happy, but away from the track, he often felt alone. When T met Jack, and everything changed about the way he thought and felt, but keeping it a secret in the giant sport of racing was nearly impossible. He felt happier than he had been in his whole life, but a determined blackmailer set about a plan exposing his secret to the world. He survived hundreds of wrecks, including spins, flips, and massive impacts to the wall, and more, just so he could win. He didn't care about anything that happened to him, as long as he didn't lose Jack.

Author Biography

TJ spent most of his early years hating to read, and thinking even less of his senior English class. Fortunately, a special teacher insisted he write a fictional short story, a two-page tale about something he found interesting. Instantly, TJ became hooked on the fun of writing fiction. Thankfully, he now reads constantly, going from one book to the next, with several in queue waiting their turn. His favorite part of writing is the crafting of a rough draft. A period in the process when the words fly from the storage center deep in his brain like a movie stuck on fast-forward. The agonizing part begins with the painstaking restructuring, as TJ edits one sentence at a time until he is either happy, or exhausted into believing he is happy with his conclusion. His new release is The Raceboys about a national champion forced to come out as a gay driver. Also available is The Will and Stranded. Coming Soon: TJ is currently polishing "A Writer's Fantasy" about his favorite college sport basketball, as well as his favorite player, and he just finished the rough draft of The Blackfeet Boys.
