David Fitzpatrick's coming of age novel, his first YA book, marks a new direction for the author. His critically-acclaimed William Morrow memoir, entitled, Sharp: My Story of Madness, Cutting, and How I Reclaimed My Life came out in 2012.
In Running Wild Press's Wolf-Boy, sixteen-year-old protagonist, Danny Halligan is falling in love with the charismatic and curvy Yale drop-out and shutterbug Gracie Rose, while another part of him is falling for childhood friend and Cape native Liam Preston. Danny finds his psyche unraveling amidst the wild sex, mind bending potions, and black and white photos that later become the bestselling Transfiguration Photos.
Fitzpatrick calls this LGBTQ+ novel of his, "a compass for lost young souls, or even a balm for the alienated."
