About the Book

Winner - International Book Awards, Fiction: Gay & Lesbian Simon Says marks the beginning of the Powell Legacy Series, a powerful literary journey tracing one man's fall, flight, and fragile steps toward healing. Simon Powell has just broken free from the Unification Church-a decade lost to a rigid spiritual regime that promised salvation but fed his self-loathing. Back in his Southern hometown of Sibley, Arkansas, he's struggling to reconnect with a father who never accepted him, and a self he barely recognizes. When grief and guilt collide, Simon flees again-this time to Los Angeles. In Hollywood, Simon leverages the discipline he honed in the Church to carve out a new life in the film industry, working first under a shady foreign distributor, then building a company of his own. But behind the surface of professional success lies a life spiraling into chaos. Each night ends at the Spotlight Lounge. Each love affair ends in heartbreak-or worse. And when he meets Thad, a troubled young man who mirrors Simon's addictions and fears, their bond threatens to consume them both. As Simon's past and present crash into one another-through betrayal, ruinous deals, and dangerous entanglements with a criminal Spanish syndicate-he sinks into a cocaine-fueled haze of delusion and despair. Only when Thad, now in recovery, returns to pull Simon from the wreckage does hope return. Set between small-town Arkansas and late-1980s Hollywood, Simon Says is an unflinching portrait of addiction, faith, and identity. A story of survival, redemption, and the first fragile steps toward love-not as salvation, but as truth.

About the Author :
A writer and visual artist, William Poe, earned his bachelor's from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock before earning his master's from the University of Nebraska. At 18, he joined the Reverend Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church and remained there for most of the next decade. His novels, "Simon Says" and "Simple Simon," draw upon his experiences growing up in Arkansas, his involvement in a controversial church and his struggle to overcome addiction while carving out an identity for himself as a gay man.
