Hello. What should I call you? Do you prefer a nickname?
You can call me Dan. Everyone does.
Welcome and thanks for agreeing to talk to us today.
No problem at all.
Can I get you something to drink? Water? Soda? Coffee? Wine? Whiskey?
A beer would be fine
One beer coming up. While we wait, tell me a little about yourself?
Well um... I'm twenty years old and I'm the eldest in my family. I moved from Madison Heights to Lakeshore, Detroit recently. I attended school at Madison High before I graduated and started working at one of my dad's hotels. That's about it I guess. Oh, and I'm gay. I have an amazing boyfriend.
That's great to here. Where do you live?
Like I said, Lakeshore, Detroit.
Do you have any jobs or hobbies?
At the moment, I'm working as manager at one of my dad's restaurants. But, I like to write for fun. Mostly science fiction, fantasy and sci-fi.
What are some of your likes and dislikes?
I like riding bikes, going to parties, hanging out with my friends back from school. I'm not a fan of heights. I don't like people who are disloyal, judgemental and untrustworthy. Also, I hate snakes.
What is your greatest fear?
Losing my boyfriend, and my family.
If you could change one thing about your life, what would it be?
I would love to become a more responsible sibling like Deon— one of my older brothers.
Are you happy we know your story?
Yeah, I guess. I've got nothing to hide.
Well with that in mind, here's a few rapid fire questions. On Monday morning, are you excited to go to work, or are you sad?
I love my job. I'm happy and excited to go to work even though it can get a bit tough sometimes.
What's a day in your life like?
It's normal. I go to work in the morning. Come back home in the evening. Spend some time with my family. Go to sleep. Repeat.
Do you gave a pet?
Yes, our dog, Jacob. He was named after the werewolf in Twilight Saga by my sister.
Who's your favourite person in the world?
I love my mom more than anyone. But, don't tell my dad that.
Speaking of secrets - do you have one?
I cheated on my first girlfriend back in middle school with a guy when I first got to know I was gay. Well, it's not really a secret. Many know about it. However, my ex-girlfriend doesn't.
Let's hope she doesn't find out. Is there anything you want to say to your fans?
Not really... Guys, take care if yourselves. This world is dangerous and isn't easy to live in.
Can we look forward to reading more of your story?
Yeah, of course.
Great. I'm sure your fans will be happy to hear this. Thanks for chatting with us today Dan.
Thanks:)
