Michael DaneHomoAmerican – The Secret Society, has won the 2020 IndieReader Discovery Award for Best Cover Design in the Non-Fiction category. HomoAmerican is not merely the story of a gay man growing up in America, but an unflinching, disturbing and often hilarious portrait of those turbulent and confusing times before and after the Stonewall Rebellion. “HomoAmerican is an engaging memoir of an artist who has led a richly creative life. As Dane takes readers through the unsettled and formative ‘60s and ‘70s, the author’s evolving sense of identity as he creates and re-creates himself makes for intriguing reading. Throughout the book, Dane’s writing provides poetic flourishes and sharp insights. Dane has led an interesting life by any measure. Readers looking for a compelling story about a gay artist making his own path through life will enjoy this memoir.” From BlueInk Review, March 2020.
