Reseña del editor:

Life for Chase is one of fun and outrageous times with his family and his tight knit crew: the always outspoken Jamie, quiet and comical Tyrone and the ride-or-die chick Lela. But that all changes when the group meets L Boogie while sitting on the stoop. L Boogie may just be everything that Chase could ever want. He has charm, money and the flyest whip that Chase has ever seen. Not to mention, the brother is PHYNE! So what if Chase's brother, J'Quan, doesn't approve, he's found the man of his dreams! The whirlwind romance culminates on the night of Chase's birthday where L Boogie literally gives him the key to his heart. As the relationship progresses, Chase begins to see that L Boogie's life mirrors his own in some ways and Chase is intent on showing him the love that he's never had. Then L Boogie hits him. The first time Chase forgives him, but then it happens again, and again...and again. Soon Chase finds himself in a role that he'd never saw himself in-the victim. Without even his friends to save him, Chase must find a way out of a dream that has quickly turned into a nightmare. Stuck in a dire situation with seemingly no way out, Chase must ask himself the ultimate question: My Life or His Death? My Life or His Death takes the reader on an intimate journey with a young, black gay man as he navigates his way through life; love and friendship while dealing with a subject so many still find taboo. With his own unique mix of laugh-out-loud comedy and page-turning drama, first time author Damon Matthews creates a stunning debut novel that you won't be able to put down until the explosive end.

Being only thirty-six years old, Damon says he still has a lot of living to do. He has truly lived more in his thirty six years than most people will ever live in a lifetime and the power and strength in his writing will tell the story.
