—Bookmarks/Q Syndicate

“In a society where honesty is not always the best policy and information can lead to power, what is one to do when his suspect past comes back to haunt him? Rich Merritt brilliantly tackles this subject in his insightful memoir. Merritt’s voice is as stalwart as his military demeanor; his story, as gripping as any bestselling fiction novel. Secrets of a Gay Marine Porn Star establishes an edge to the memoir genre.”

—X Factor Magazine

“Well worth a read.”

—HX Magazine

“Rich Merritt writes an honest, inspiring, sexy, funny, and courageous story. It is filled with insights into military life and the workings of the media, but what truly resonates is the account of one man’s journey to self-acceptance and the welcoming, joyous embrace of gay culture.”

—William J. Mann, author of All American Boy

“Inspiring, thought-provoking, and brutally honest, Rich Merritt’s story is much more than that of a Marine who found himself at the center of a political firestorm. It is the story of a young man’s coming of age, of the hypocrisy of the gay media and political organizations, and, ultimately, of what it means to come to terms with who you are while being pulled in multiple directions.”

—Michael Thomas Ford, author of Changing Tides

“This is a timely and powerful memoir, an eye-opening survey of wildly incompatible worlds including Bob Jones University, the gay Marine underground, the porn industry, and the circuit party ghetto. At a moment when our country has fallen prey to the lure of various fundamentalisms, this book issues a compelling indictment of what its author calls ‘the internal tyranny of fundamentalist dogma.’ Secrets of a Gay Marine Porn Star spellbindingly charts a young man’s perilous journey from the iron-clad, killing certainties of his upbringing to adulthood’s hard-won self-acceptance and compassion. Rich Merritt writes incisively and, indeed, often quite sexily about a life of closets, confusion and, finally, the great courage of his convictions.”

—Paul Russell, author of War Against the Animals and The Coming Storm
