Summary

Sometimes you have to look to the past to find your future.
Rob Gentner thought he'd moved on from his family's lack of acceptance after they discover he's gay. But when he and his partner return to his hometown for his father's funeral, he realizes some hurts you never outgrow. His first summer home from college and accidental outing is a story he's never shared with David. Until now. 
Caring for Rob is David Morris' great, if not always easy, passion in life. He knows Rob never made peace with his father but doesn't know why. Can he find a way to help Rob get the closure he needs to focus on their future? 
Together, the two men revisit Rob's past and discover that while first times will always be remembered, the last time is the one that truly counts.

    Saints are the powerful, benevolent dead. They remain connected to the living to provide assistance, especially in times of need. Everyone has patron saints, even the marginalized who may feel abandoned and removed from these spiritual traditions. Queer Saints: A Radical Guide to Magic, Miracles, and Modern Intercession is a contemporary reimagining of an ancient spiritual practice—the intercessory power of saints. “Intercession” is typically defined as the action of intervening for another. Pagliarulo offers listeners a wide range of saints that includes the traditional, as well as re-envisioned saints specifically for a queer constituency. These include Saint David Bowie, Saint Freddie Mercury, Saint Alexander McQueen, Saint Moms Mabley, and Saint André Leon Talley. Pagliarulo explains why these are queer saints and offers practical information on how to venerate them—from building altars to making offerings. Queer Saints makes change and self-empowerment accessible to listeners of all faiths and belief systems by spotlighting the transformative impact queer saints have had on our world and their burgeoning influence on our spiritual future.

    Thaddeus Esax has a grumpy werewolf problem. For a year, he's been mated to Sandulf Hunter, a ghost werewolf he brought back from the dead without meaning to. It's been great. Thad's been happy, and he believed Sandy was too. But Sandy has been sulking for more than a week, and Thad fears their relationship isn't going as well as he believed.
    The problem with being mated to a ghost is that said ghost never can leave your side, and therefore it's extremely hard to keep secrets. Thaddeus wants to surprise Sandy, to cheer him up, but to do that, he has to trick him into believing they're doing something they're not. 
    Telling Sandy they're having a Halloween party doesn't go over well, but how do you trick a ghost? By making him believe he'll be dressed up as a pirate for an evening, of course.

    Sequel to Twelve Letters
    
    In the autumn of 1814, the Honourable Percy Havilland is generally content with his sheltered existence in London's exclusive Mayfair. As a society beau, renowned for his fair and youthful beauty and an object of desire to other well-born gentlemen, Percy is slightly miffed his personal life is not running as seamlessly as he might wish.
    
    
    His good-natured lover from the spring season, Jo Everett, has inexplicably lost interest, and his replacement, Nathaniel Brooks, is far too hard-headed to be cajoled and manipulated into pandering to Percy's every whim.
    
    
    But these trifles are cast into proportion when, out of the blue, a family scandal of immense proportions threatens Percy's peace of mind and his standing amongst the ton. Fearing rejection or even social banishment, to his surprise, Percy discovers a small, unconventional band of friends, including Jo, who are prepared to stick by him. And more importantly, he finds Nathan is utterly reliable in a crisis.
    
    
    Will Percy remain spoiled, immature, and pampered? Or can he grow from this disaster to appreciate the value of true friendship? Might he even learn to love?

    Part One of Lanta: A Bittersweet MM Romance. 
    — ✧ ✧ ✧ — 
    On a hushed shore beneath a moonlit sky, where the tides steal away memories etched in sand, a kiss changes everything. 
    Silom is nineteen, a fisherman’s apprentice with calloused hands, a battered wetsuit, and questions he’s never dared voice aloud. Lester is older, from a colder world—an Englishman adrift in a life that no longer fits. When their paths cross on the island of Ko Lanta, a brief, impulsive kiss stirs something neither of them is ready to name. 
    What begins as a fleeting connection becomes something deeper—tender, quiet, and inescapably real—in a place where duty weighs heavy and words come second to glances, gestures, and shared silences. But paradise cannot shield lovers from the weight of the world. As the tides shift and lives drift apart, Silom is left with only memory—and the ache of a promise unkept. 
    Spanning decades of longing, distance, and quiet resilience, Lanta is a lyrical, bittersweet love story set against the lush, salt-soaked beauty of southern Thailand. It is about the boy who kissed a stranger, the man who never forgot, and the lives that unfold between one impossible moment and its long-awaited echo. 
    Part One tells Lester's story of a remarkable night on a quiet beach in Thailand.
