DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A collection sharing stories of success, happiness, and inspiration from the LGBTQ+ community. In Pride and Joy, award-winning writer and longtime LGBTQ+ activist Kathleen Archambeau tells the untold stories from diverse queer voices around the world. Not like the depressing, sinister, shadowy stories of the past, this book highlights queer people living open, happy, fulfilling, and successful lives. Inside, learn why Tony Kushner quit cello and how Colm Toibin found his voice, why Emma Donoghue calls her experience a fluke and the best advice Bill T. Jones got was from his mother, and also how being an inaugural poet changed Richard Blanco’s life and how Ugandan activist “LongJones” escaped death threats and gained asylum. But you will also see other stories, like the bravery of a Uruguayan author who was rejected by her immediate family even as she began a family of her own. Be inspired by the audacity to fight for justice that motivates National Center for Lesbian Rights Executive Director Kate Kendell, a Mormon who grew up in Utah. Learn how two couples transcend time and distance to finally be together and how one NBA sports executive summoned the courage to come out. Discover the message of love from the first openly lesbian United Methodist Church Bishop. Learn the secrets of a successful, out IBM executive based in London and the rewards of Ballroom Basix founder in Harlem. See how the Maori philosophy of whanau guided the MP who won marriage rights in New Zealand and how high expectations overcame disability and bullying for an acclaimed mezzo-soprano. Meet the professional violinist and composer impacted by family tensions and the Armenian Genocide. Read about the ballroom dancers and Hungarian activists on neo-Nazi “hit lists.” Pride & Joy shows why there is hope it gets better for everyone in the queer community, including: The transgender choreographer and dancer who continues to break rules and enlighten audiences The Dutch singer, songwriter and independent theater producer who breaks down stereotypes The founder of an award-winning smoking cessation program The California political director of the Obama re-election campaign The Russian émigré award-winning computer scientist and the Chinese folk dancer

Authored by David Hotchkiss, PhD, this book is dedicated to all brave men and women that unselfishly and steadfastly serve in the United States Armed Forces. A Soldier’s Son looks at the greatness of America through the eyes of a career soldier who comes from a long line of soldiers; this makes him a soldier ́s son. Life in the military for both the military member and family are highlighted. Historical events such as the attack on the World Trade Center ́s twin towers, the Iraq War, the history of the Ft. McHenry flag, Pearl Harbor, and the Normandy invasion are all addressed in detail in Hotchkiss ́s poetic style. Life in America and things known as Americana such as family reunions, Christmas, backyard barbecues, and county fairs are also addressed. This book will make you laugh and cry, reflect, and reminisce and instill a sense of patriotic pride for America and the US military. Hotchkiss invites readers to reflect with his poems on liberty, democracy, the American way of life, and the men and women who fight for it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The year is 2098. The landscape has changed, with the U.S. East Coast obliterated by atomic warheads; St. Louis is now the Capitol. Geo-political power has changed the world into five associated nations, with much power vested in the United Nations and The World Bank. Tremendous advances have been made in science, transportation, medicine, genetics, robotics, space travel, and other disciplines. Cars travel on computer/satellite controlled highways. Air travel from the U.S. to China takes but a few hours. People can “live” almost forever, as one’s brain can be scanned into a new host body. This is the background upon which four Cal-Tech graduates, John, Jan, Joe, and James, embark from Salinas, CA to the Capitol of St. Louis to help their harassed Madam President Hightower. They become involved in international intrigue that takes them to Mexico and China, and space travel to the moon and Mars. A beautiful Chinese spy, a president’s slimy husband, a charming prince and others bring love, assassination, and salvation. As much as things change, they remain the same.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In Room for Love by Andrea Meyer, Jacquie Stuart has just turned thirty-two and she wants to do a major rewrite on her life. Her salary at a snarky film magazine barely covers her mortgage, her bratty sister has staked permanent claim to her couch, her best friend is in an obscenely happy marriage, and the only guy who really gets her is gay. Worst of all, she keeps falling for broke, self-involved commitment-phobes. Needing moonlighting money, Jacquie gets the idea of investigating a new dating trend—looking for Mr. Right in the "Roommate Wanted" ads. After a bunch of colorful near-misses that bring her into the slums of the East Village, the brownstones of Brooklyn, and the dingier digs of the Upper East Side, Jacquie thinks she's finally found the man she's been looking for and stuns her friends by moving out of her beloved apartment—and into his. Complications ensue when her live-in love reveals some alarming imperfections, the irresistible artist who dumped her wants her back... and what is up with the mystery man living in the charming one-bedroom she left behind? Jacquie has been looking for love in other people's homes all over town, but could the key to her happiness lie right under her very own roof?

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Song in the Silence is the story of overcoming atrocities through the grace of God. The Song is the Son of God and his compassion as He carries us through the fiery turmoil of our lives, giving us shalom. Ancient musical instruments are used as the medium of telling the story in this book. They evoke powerful emotions each a synchronization of the orchestra of Heaven as they culminate in a triumphant climax of survival. The Silence is the blackness of despair. Written from the very trenches of psychotic mania and deep depression it mirrors the mind as it surfaces for recovery. This book speaks of hope and life abundant. I applaud the author for daring to share the history of profound pain and suffering. In doing so this book will encourage others with similar history to come out of hiding... - Brigid K ...the revelation will help bring a much-needed healing to millions who will read this book. To God be the glory great things He has done. - J.K.A
