Sinossi

Mammoth's protagonist is a disenchanted young lesbian. She's inexperienced, irritated by life, eager to gestate, and determined to strip everything else down to essentials. She seduces men at random, swaps her urban habitat for an isolated farmhouse, befriends a shepherd, nurses lambs, battles stray cats, waits tables, cleans house, and dabbles in sex work – all in pursuit of life in the raw. This small bomb of a novel, not remotely pastoral, builds to a howling crescendo of social despair, leaving us at the mercy of Eva Baltasar's wild voice.

    Chief Warrant Officer Necole Belanger created a professional persona that was no-nonsense and highly put-together. But the truth was much more complex. 
     
     
     
    Necole's story is a tale of two lives, the CWO raised in a military family, and the woman coming to terms with her sexuality, in a time where the two could not coexist. A lesbian member of the military police during the LGBTQ Purge in the Canadian Armed Forces, Necole would achieve success and promotion in her career despite a near-constant struggle. 
     
     
     
    But the higher she rose in rank within the Canadian Armed Forces, the less her voice was heard. When she should have had the most influence, she had none. When she'd finally earned a seat at the table, no one listened. Her life was dedicated to an institution that didn't return her loyalty. 
     
     
     
    The result? 
     
     
     
    Depression and drinking and a downward spiral, all hidden behind a mask. And then the courage to be honest and put the pieces of her life back together. 
     
     
     
    Pride Amid Prejudice is the story of one woman's struggle to find a voice in a world determined to silence her. A journey of self-discovery through adversity, of resilience in the face of discrimination, and pride amid prejudice.

    When Charlie Rideout's best friend David vanishes from Denver's vibrant drag bar scene, he turns to the last person who should take the case. Max Evans is a jaded private detective still haunted by the murder of his husband at the hands of a serial killer he helped put behind bars.
    But the deeper Max and Charlie dig into David's disappearance, the more the shadows of Max's past close in around them. A taunting business card smeared with blood. A killer who was supposed to be locked away. And the terrifying realization that David's abduction was never about David at all. It was a trap designed to lure Max back into a nightmare he never escaped.
    As the clock ticks down on David's life, Max and Charlie are drawn together by more than the case. Charlie's relentless optimism cracks open something in Max he thought died with his husband, while Max's fierce protectiveness awakens feelings Charlie never expected to find in the middle of a crisis. But forces beyond them despise nothing more than the happiness of others, and falling for each other might be the most dangerous thing they can do.

    Love Offers No Safety: Nigeria’s Queer Men Speak is a raw and powerful collection of 25 first-person narratives that explore the diverse experience of queer Nigerian men. These stirring stories cut across age, class, religion, ethnicity, family and relationships, offering a glimpse into what it means to survive as a queer man in Nigeria. From Tunji, who takes us back to the thriving networking community before social media, to Chukwori, who struggles to reconcile his need to serve God with his sexuality, and Abdulkarim, who frustratingly wonders if he’ll ever stop working twice as hard to be accepted, these stories are full of contradictions, anger, resiliency, profound insight, and radical hope. 
     
    With heightened levels of oppression, violence, and discrimination faced by LGBTQ Nigerians due to the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Law, these voices remind us of what the queer community in Nigeria has always been fighting for—the freedom to be themselves, love themselves, and love each other, despite being viewed as unworthy. Love Offers No Safety is a heartbreaking yet hopeful reminder that love knows no boundaries and offers no safety, but it is worth fighting for. 
     
    "Told from the points of view of gay, queer, and bisexual men spread across Nigeria from the South to the North, [Love Offers No Safety] will provide insight and open up conversations around this misunderstood demography."—Toni Kan, author of The Carnivorous City and Nights of the Creaking Bed
