Beschreibung

He was a romantic and a realist, a lover of strong women and beautiful men. And though he was at one time the richest, most powerful man in the world, his most prized possession was a book -- Homer's The Iliad, annotated by his tutor, Aristotle.
Most of all, he was as much a myth as a man and a mystery ... even to himself. 
When Alexander the Great died in Babylon in 323 B.C. a month shy of his 33rd birthday and after conquering and reordering Persia, he left a sprawling empire and a burning question: What drove him? 
Before Alexander, culture flowed East to West. After, it would flow West to East, and we are the heirs of the continuing tension between the two. 
In this historical novel, Alexander encounters the only two enemies he cannot defeat: death and time. Surrendering to both, he considers a life that attempted to bridge seemingly irreconcilable opposites -- East and West, Persians and Greeks, a brutal father and a ruthless mother, a wily wife and a male soulmate. And above all, a tempered mind and ungovernable passions.

    Levi Erickson runs Mama Mozzarella's, his family pizzeria in sunny Seabreeze, South Carolina. It's a peaceful existence, a little lame, a lotta boring. That is, until the day he tries to text Rexy, his perpetually late part-time employee but writes his old flame Rex instead. Little does he know that Rex has just gotten back into town himself and is eager for a little reunion ... in more ways than one!
    
    Rex Carroll has come back to Seaside for one reason and one reason only: to watch the premiere of Undead Hookers from Venus III at the Seabreeze Cinemas. After all, he's just completed the soundtrack and, despite his creative success, the movie's financial failure has left his resources depleted and owing back rent on his crummy apartment back in LA.
    
    When he arrives in town and gets the wrong number text from his former boss and old flame Levi, Rex can't believe his good luck, or perfect timing. Now all he has to do is convince Levi age is just a number, and the sweltering kiss they almost shared his last night in town four years earlier was perfectly natural and long overdue!

    Warwick, whose name has a second W that's silent, also has a new neighbor who is anything but. The constant creak of bedsprings and headboard banging against the common wall has Warwick in 11-A wondering if the activity in 11-B is an occupation and not merely an enjoyable hobby.
    When Warwick finally meets noisy neighbor Dom, though fun, heat, and music ensue, uncertainty and questions remain. Some things are easily explained away by the sort of happenstance and misunderstanding silly sitcom plots are based on, but a painful past connection, a difficult future, and a lie in the present set up roadblocks Warwick and Dom struggle to get over. 
    Can Warwick and Dom create a second verse to their love song, or will the tune end before it really begins?

    A month away from graduation, Jay hopes to flee the small upstate New York town of Milton for a life anywhere but in his dead-end hometown. He wishes for more than he has now: scholarly, eccentric parents, and watching Grams, the closest person to him, slowly dying before his eyes. 
    His equally withdrawn but edgier best friend Rocco has a hearty appetite for drugs, alcohol, and promiscuous sex. When the law comes knocking, asking questions about a crime Rocco may or may not have committed, he finds himself in big trouble and turns to Jay for help. 
    Is Jay and Rocco's friendship strong enough to sustain life's tough obstacles as they navigate the highs and lows of growing up together?

    The first time Jacke sees him, it's a happy accident. He's taken refuge in a quiet corner of the park, decompressing after a difficult day at work, when the man, dressed in a fancy suit, passes by him walking a spoiled little dog.
    
    
    As the days pass, Jacke notices the adorable pair several times. He's unable to take his eyes off the man whose first priority is the dog, even over his own comfort. And one day, when circumstances are right, Jacke takes a chance and speaks to the man. David.
    
    
    David's personality is as adorable as his outward appearance, and a short walk in the rain results in mutual attraction and a promise to see each other again. A second meeting in the park turns into a date, and Jacke starts longing for something he thought he'd never have; a partner. But does David feel the same? Will a chance meeting in the park turn into love?
