LOS ANGELES—Multi-award-winning gay director, producer, and author Steve Balderson has released his first memoir chronicling his sexual awakening, Year of the Whore, which is slated to become a feature later this year.
The Year of the Whore chronicles Balderson's journey of going from a decade-long toxic relationship to his sexual reawakening, love affairs, career milestones, and transformation. It all begins in his small hometown in Wamego, Kansas, then moves on to Italy with his big win at the Salento International Film Festival for "El Ganzo," and ultimately, he ends up in Hollywood. Year of the Whore is vulnerable and candid and navigates love and the human condition.
Balderson said, "I’m excited for the world to be able to read this memoir—it is like nothing you’ve ever read. You will be amazed at what takes place in the 119 pages of the book. There have been many sexual awakening books, but very few with a gay protagonist that almost everyone can relate to."
Year of the Whore is available in the U.S. on Amazon as an audiobook and paperback. The book is also available on Amazon in the U.K., Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Poland, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Australia, and Japan.
Starting June 1, an Indigogo campaign will kick off to celebrate Pride Month and raise funding for the feature of the book, Love, Venezia, which will star both mainstream and adult actors.
