Summary

Beaten by the IT recession, Justin has come back to his hometown where he's inherited a small house from his mother. Surely Barry, his old crush and sometime nemesis, is long gone. Jobs are scarce, so impulsively Justin seeks to buy into a pet grooming business. But when he has to visit the local bank for a loan, who sits behind the big desk but Barry?
Justin's appearance jolts Barry out of his miserable rut of a life. What if they were to pick up where a brief boyhood attraction abruptly ended? Then his mother's sudden stroke throws his whole life into a tumbled ruin. 
Juggling business and pleasure can be a complex, risky endeavor. Will Justin resist Barry's charms and flee again, or will fate give them a new leash on life?

    Ultrasound student Pam is thrilled to do her final clinical rotation at the office of a renowned OB doctor. She has only four weeks left to learn everything she needs to know to work in the field and who better to learn from than Dr. V, whom she admires?


However, most of her time at the clinic is spent under the tutelage of a gruff technologist who has little patience with students and finds Pam's skills lacking. To make matters worse, the young doctor Pam is trying to impress is both beautiful and sexy.


After yet another bad day Dr. V, once an ultrasound tech herself, takes pity on Pam and offers her personal instruction after hours. Alone with Dr V in a darkened exam room, with only a thin paper gown separating them, sparks fly.


Can Pam avoid making a fool of herself both professionally and on a more personal level? Or will she fail not only in the career she loves, but also romantically?

    She knew the truth about herself. The world wasn't ready to hear it. 
In 1960s America, being different wasn't just difficult—it was dangerous. When a teenage girl realizes she's a lesbian, she faces an impossible choice: embrace her authentic self or conform to society's crushing expectations. Desperate to fit in, she attempts heterosexuality with devastating consequences. 
But acknowledging her truth becomes her salvation. Coming out gives her unexpected courage to shatter another barrier: defying the male-dominated medical establishment to pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. In lecture halls and hospital wards at a time when women medical students are rare and barely tolerated, she fights for both her education and her right to exist as herself. 
The 1970s also brought second-wave feminism and promises of liberation, yet the reality remains treacherous. Being openly gay still means risking everything—career, reputation, safety. Finding love proves its own battleground, with each relationship teaching hard lessons about trust and vulnerability when the world refuses to recognize that life as legitimate. 
This is the story of one woman's refusal to disappear. Of choosing authenticity over acceptance. Of discovering that the courage to be yourself can transform not just your own life but pave the way for those who follow. 
“The author writes with a sense of blunt reality and warm humanity”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review 
 “Fast-paced, immersive, and weighty memoir that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the hardships of being true to yourself.”

    When night falls, darkness cloaks the land. It is a time of shadows and those creatures who move in shadow. What truly happens in the hours we spend sleeping blissfully unaware in our beds? Only the moon knows. And the Brothers of the Moon.
This collection contains thirteen tales of horror and fantasy, of passion and lust, from the realm of darkness. A demon on the beach demonstrates a degree of trickery that reinforces our fear. Spectres from beyond the grave return to help, console, and once again enjoy carnal pleasures long since left behind. The lonely Nullabor Plain plays host to extraterrestrial visitors. Ancient vampires bestow the Moonkiss on a troubled young man. Beings who have no name move unseen throughout the world, altering our lives in small but important ways. And all the while there is the call of the flesh -- the unceasing passion for closeness and gratification that binds human to supernatural. 
Join the Brothers of the Moon. Let them lead you to places you can only imagine. Let them caress you. Let them kiss you. If you dare.
