First comes the shooting pain in his head. A frenzy of inks, paints, pencils, and charcoal are put to canvas. Daniel steps back, sees the dead hand hanging over the staircase, a pool of blood below, a darkness swirling above. Then, he knows. The darkness is coming to Spirit Ridge. Coming for him. Diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at age seven, Daniel has always felt different. He has trouble making friends, meeting girls, and communicating with his family. Daniel learns a whole new ';different' when these real-life terrors on canvas manifest in Spirit Ridge. Luckily, he discovers friends with powers of their own who can stop the string of bizarre murders. Unless the killer is one of their own.

Itch is a coming of age story, but it is so much more. My journey of both finding and accepting myself as a young, gay man was spiritually and emotionally difficult, but above all, it was lonely. Eventually, I came to realize that what I had been told my whole life about who I was and who I chose to love was wrong. I realized that I was in charge and I could make those decisions. I was inspired to tell my story when my homeland of Australia made it legal for everyone to marry whomever he or she loves. Itch was originally intended as a memoir to offer young people in the gay community a new perspective on life; an alternative to the current narrative. But in the writing, it became much more and I have seen my story resonate with anyone - regardless of sexual identity - who has struggled to embrace their own authentic self. It is my hope that my story continues to shines a light on the complexity of the LGBTQIA experience and the "itch" we all feel for more.
