Dr. Roger Leslie is a Renaissance man. But his success didn't happen overnight.

He started young. In fact, he wrote his first novella at the age of thirteen.

None of this came without struggles and setbacks, though.

He found himself feeling isolated. And Roger even credits his family's move to Texas from Michigan with saving his life.

During this episode, we cover a wide range of topics from growing up as a gay teenager and his former career as a teacher, to writing and his new memoir Light Come Out of the Closet.
