Don't Ask

Don't Ask - a novel of America's first openly gay Marine and the political firestorm he never meant to start.

Caleb Hertz is not looking to cause a stir by joining the world’s most elite fighting force; he’s not trying to be on the news; he doesn’t want to be a rallying cry; and he’s not fighting for a political cause. But fate intervenes when his closest friend and fellow Marine, a devoted Christian named Jackson Brooks, is accused of anti-homosexual bigotry and charged with a federal hate crime.

From the infamous yellow footprints of boot camp to the shifting sands of Afghanistan, what happens to these men not only changes their lives but the direction of the entire United States.

Don’t Ask is a story of love, courage, and heroism. It’s about putting away anger and finding the courage to love one another, believer or non-believer, gay or straight.
