Rodney Lofton was born in Seaboard, North Carolina and raised in Richmond, Virginia. His life's journey has been detailed in his first title, a memoir, The Day I Stopped Being Pretty.
Lofton had a dream at an early age of becoming an actor. He remembers vividly the days of sitting in the movie theaters of downtown Richmond, to view the great actors and actresses on screen. From that moment, he began to lose himself in the great lives of the characters on screen.
At the age of ten, he auditioned for the television show, Palmerstown, USA. Although he lost out on the role, the acting bug had bitten. Throughout his high school years, he auditioned and landed roles in his high school productions of The Wizard of Oz, Don't Bother Me I Can't Cope, and a class project "Oh Freedom," in which he played the tragic mulatto son of a slave and slave master. During this time, he discovered he was different from the other guys in the neighborhood. He realized he was gay.

Written in beautiful, brutally honest prose, No More Tomorrows offers insight into the lives of two gay men as they love each other in the face of adversity and discrimination. When the HIV-positive Mark Jones awakens from a restless sleep that has plagued him for weeks, he realizes it is his last physical day on earth. After everything they've experienced together, Mark feels prepared to confront his mortality with the unshakeable support of Kevin Williams, his lover, best friend, and confidante.
Since the inception of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s, men who have sex with men constitute the majority of the demographic that has been hit the hardest by the disease. In spite of the successes of the gay civil rights movement and the recent advances of medical research relating to HIV/AIDS, society still places a harsh stigma on those living with the disease. No More Tomorrows is a riveting novel about living and loving in the age of AIDS.
