About this listen
Devon is determined to create a new life for himself as a freshman at Indiana University. He struggles to put his troubled past behind him and keep it from poisoning his new relationships. After a promising start Devon's resolve weakens, but he refuses give up his dream.
The moment Devon meets Dorian Gray he knows his life will change forever. Dorian Gray is rich, charming, and the most beautiful young man Devon has ever beheld. Dorian takes an immediate interest in Devon and awakens feelings within him than have lain dormant since Devon's first love. Devon soon falls for Dorian, only to find Dorian has his own agenda.
Devon isn't thrilled with his roommate. Armando is obsessed with football and working out. Devon suspects Armando is gay, but worse still is the attraction Devon feels for him. Devon avoids Armando at first, but the more time he spends with his roommate the more he likes him. As Devon's new relationships begin to fall apart it is Armando who stands by Devon when he needs a friend the most.
Devon is a story of love, friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. It is the tale of a creation of a homophobic monster.

Story
Toby Riester is 16, gay, and searching for his first boyfriend. He discovers many potential candidates - Orlando, a cute 16-year-old Hispanic boy who works with Toby at the Phantom World amusement park; CT, a blond 17-year-old who is obviously gay; and Spike, a well-built 16-year-old from the internet. Each boy has his own seductive qualities, and each is more than his seems, but one of them is far more dangerous than Toby ever guessed.

Marshall only wanted to help his friends, to undo the pain of the past, but a few moments of thoughtless action changed everything. Altered Realities is the tale of a changed world. All bets are off. Nothing is as it was, and what is to be is transformed, too. Mark, Taylor, Ethan, Nathan, Brendan, Casper, and nearly the entire cast of the Gay Youth Chronicles come together in a tapestry of tales as they all try to deal with the consequences of Marshall’s actions. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
