A trans essayist with a checkered past takes on the big questions of human existence 
 
Move over Michel de Montaigne, there's a new girl in town 
 
An ABA Indie Next Pick • A San Francisco Chronicle Women's History Month Book Pick • An Allstora Queer History 101 Book Club Pick 
 
Set against a backdrop of trans life that begins with her own transition in the 1960s, Vivian Blaxell takes us on a witty and expansive sweep through history, from Australia to Japan, to Hawai'i to Mexico, to heretofore unmapped regions of the mind. In seven devastatingly intelligent parts, her essay covers a vast range in time and space—from the arson of a Japanese temple to a transformative encounter with a coral reef, from Nietzsche and Hegel to Indigenous metaphysics, from a perplexing relationship with a beautiful man to the unknowable minds of animals. Fleshy and philosophical, searching and exalted, utterly distinctive and assured, Worthy of the Event belatedly establishes Vivian Blaxell as one of the major writers of her generation.

Time Play

S.J. Crawford

Catching feelings six months before graduation is inconvenient. What's disastrous is choosing to act on them.

Dean: I've always been a guy with a plan. Make it through college, get my degree, and move back home. Tutoring Nick Russell wasn't in the cards, and crushing on him definitely wasn't. But that sweet, smirking baseball player digs right under my skin, and I don't stand a chance at resisting him. All I want is to get my hands on Nick. I know what to do, what moves to make, and . . . he doesn't bite. That's fine, I guess—he's a good friend anyway. As it turns out, being friends is exactly what we both need for things to heat up. A little fling to round out college never hurt anyone, but what if neither of us wants it to end? With my visa running out, moving home doesn't look as appealing as it always has, not if it means giving up on the only guy who's ever made me want to stay.

Nick: I'm a mess and I know it. I'm an undrafted nobody, failing an elective, and it feels like I'm the only guy who needs a connection before I can even consider getting physical. That last part is easy enough to ignore. My agent's working on the undrafted thing, and Coach got me a tutor. Dean Shen drops into my life as a calm, dreamy anchor of everything I've ever craved, and I can see right through that flirty basketball player's hungry stare. What he wants from me is crystal clear, but he doesn't push. And him waiting is all it takes for me to break. With graduation looming, it makes sense to settle for something physical. But if my feelings for Dean are what allow me to be physical in the first place . . . I don't see this ending in anything but trouble.
Contains mature themes.

Tempting Frey

Roe Horvat

Oliver

I’ve been in love with Theodore Frey for as long as I can remember. When I turned eighteen, I ignored the acceptance letter from the best college I’d applied to, as well as the facts that Frey was my dad’s best friend, the mayor of Beauville, the scariest bear shifter in the mountains, and twenty years older than me.

Armed with an outrageous set of lingerie and a great deal of naiveté, I showed up on his doorstep. I thought he was my fated mate and that we’d be together forever.

As a reasonable adult, Frey did the only thing he could have done: he rejected me.

Four years later, I’m back in Beauville. I've changed, but one thing hasn’t. Frey is still the only alpha I’ve ever wanted.

Frey

I’ve never told my best friend what happened the night Oliver came to my house. No need to make things awkward. Especially since our sheriff is a protective hothead when it comes to his only omega son.

I’ve caught glimpses of Oliver over the years, and that clumsy teen is long gone. Even though I’ve tried to keep my distance, his blue-green eyes haunt my dreams.

Now he’s back for good, working at the town hall right under my nose, and I’m climbing the walls. I’ve never seen anything sexier than Oliver putting me in my place. Beautiful, sharp, and full of fire… he’s everything I’ve ever wanted.

With his father watching my every move, I’m barely holding it together. If Oliver so much as crooks his finger at me, I don’t think I’ll be able to resist.

Tempting Frey is the second book in the Bears of Beauville series—a standalone MM omegaverse romance featuring bear shifters, fated mates, and mpreg. HEA, no cliffhangers.
