  No Son of Mine - A Memoir

  Jonathan Corcoran was the youngest and only son of three siblings in a family balanced on the precipice of poverty. His mother, a traditional, evangelical, and insular woman who had survived abuse and abandonment, was often his only ally. Together they navigated a strained homelife dominated by his distant, gambling-addicted father and shared a seemingly unbreakable bond. 
   
   
   
  When Corcoran left home to attend Brown University, a chasm between his upbringing and his reality began to open. As his horizons and experiences expanded, he met the upper-middle-class Jewish man who would become his husband. But this authentic life would not be easy, and Corcoran was forever changed when his mother disowned him after discovering his truth. In the ensuing fifteen years, the two would come together only to violently spring apart. As the COVID-19 pandemic raged in 2020, the cycle finally ended when he received the news that his mother had died. 
   
   
   
  In No Son of Mine, Corcoran traces his messy estrangement from his mother through lost geographies as well as the lost relationships with friends and family and the sense of home that were stripped away when she said he was no longer her son. Through grief, anger, questioning, and growth, Corcoran explores the entwined yet separate histories and identities of his mother and himself.

  Brook's alpha-centric family doesn't respect him. He'll only succeed his father as CEO if he takes an alpha mate. But an alpha is the last thing he wants. 
   
   
   
  A paid mate seems like the ideal solution. The alpha can run interference with Brook's family, but Brook will be in charge. When he hires Dimitri, a rough-around-the-edges criminal who's deep in debt and desperate enough to take any job, Brook expects a transactional relationship. One night together to form the mate bond. Simple. 
   
   
   
  Dimitri's never been with another man, but how bad can it be? Even if Brook is a snobby rich dude, like his family. Only he isn't. He's funny, honorable, open-minded, and surprisingly vulnerable . . . and an unexpectedly willing lover. Dimitri's protective instincts are as aroused as his body. 
   
   
   
  Brook can't help responding to Dimitri's kindness, humor, and ability to take charge in bed and out—something that's never appealed to Brook until now. And that makes things anything but simple. 
   
   
   
  It's supposed to be a means to an end. A mutually beneficial arrangement. But for this to be anything more, they'll have to expose their family secrets and admit their real feelings . . . 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  "Depression comes in a variety of chinaware. You're asking which pattern is right for you?" -Dr. Sarah Seda. 
  Prague Foster didn’t see it coming. His beloved restaurant Vintage Fare burst into flames overnight. A recurrent depressive, the incident catalyzes the shattering of his self esteem. Navigating reconstruction with the help of his extended family, Prague returns to function. But who emerges from the rubble? 
  Onsite, Prague gathers with his bewildered staff. His adoptive brother  and head chef, Felix Pacheco, sets their team with temporary work at a non-profit he is a member of. The arrangement will come with a menacing catch— one which triggers Prague’s past. 
  At home, Prague’s son Nick and the Pacheco clan provoke and placate Prague’s stress over stress with a concentrate of religious and social values. However, it has not escaped Prague that to make an omelette one will have to break a few eggs... 
  Prague’s ripening tension folds into a newfound prescription fatigue, debasing him enough to seek help. His therapist, Dr. Raytha Lovelace,  recommends the relatively unheard of treatment Trans-cranial Magnetic Stimulation. 
  As Prague takes to treatment while placing his prescriptions on the chopping block, his life becomes a mixed bag of self care and self destruction. The new treatment peppers in a renewed lease of his mental wellness, though half-baked missteps threaten the new approach, leading to a rather unusual institutionalization. 
  While at rest, moments of grace and an eye opening lecture from a quirky mindfulness expert compel Prague to discover his depressions dwell in genetic and environmental factors— ingredients for us all, and giving Prague the context for a new recipe at living well. 
  Gus Klein's debut novella, Telemetry, is a fictionalized story with nonfiction mental health experience. He works as a Spanish speaking voice over actor and actor.
