Author's Note
Hi, I'm DyCarter. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Where Love Is Not Allowed was born from the desire to explore what it means to love when the world seems to tell you that you can't. Lucas and Gabriel represent courage, self-discovery, and the power of embracing who you are, even when everything around you seems to stand against you.
Every detail of St. Louis Anthony Academy was carefully crafted to show how rules, traditions, and expectations can come into conflict with our most genuine feelings. But above all, this is a story about hope, resilience, and the strength of young, true, and transformative love.
Thank you to everyone who believes in LGBT representation, who is moved by stories that reflect the real lives of so many young people, and who continues to support independent authors. You make every page come alive, and every effort worthwhile.
I hope this story touches you as deeply as it touched me while I was writing it—and that it inspires you to find the courage to live the love you deserve, exactly as it is.
With love,
DyCarter
