The film version of his memoirs, Dreamboy: My Life as a QVC Host & Other Greatest Hits received “Best LGBT Film” at the 2008 San Diego Black Film Festival. His latest book is an adult fairy tale, Sissy Sammy in the land of WEHO90069. It is the story of a bullied feminine boy from the 'hood who gets lost in an all-gay town.
