Jamaican-born Jonathan Plummer was discovered at age 20 on a beach in Negril, where he was chasing his dream of becoming the entertainment coordinator of a popular resort. His summer romance and subsequent union with legendary author Terry McMillan was immortalized in the #1 smash novel-turned-hit movie, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, in which Jonathan made a cameo appearance. And the rest is her story? Not exactly. Ten years later, in 2005, Jonathan made headlines around the world with his revelation that he's gay. The interest in his much storied life was enough to garner him a multibook deal with Simon and Schuster (Pocket Books). The first installment in his series of novels, Balancing Act, co-authored with New York Times bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Karen Hunter, was one of the most highly anticipated debut novels of 2007. Much like his fictional hero, a supermodel named Justin Blakeman, Jonathan Plummer has had an extraordinary journey "out" from rural Jamaica to Hollywood, and the sky is the limit for this author and stylist.
