  In 2014 Sonya Bilocerkowycz is a tourist at a deadly revolution. At first she is enamored with the Ukrainians' idealism, which reminds her of her own patriotic family. But when the romantic revolution melts into a war with Russia, she becomes disillusioned, prompting a return home to the US and the diaspora community that raised her. As the daughter of a man who studies Ukrainian dissidents for a living, the granddaughter of war refugees, and the great-granddaughter of a gulag victim, Bilocerkowycz has inherited a legacy of political oppression. But what does it mean when she discovers a missing page from her family's survival story—one that raises questions about her own guilt? 
   
   
   
  In these linked essays, Bilocerkowycz invites listeners to meet a swirling cast of post-Soviet characters, including a Russian intelligence officer who finds Osama bin Laden a few weeks after 9/11; a Ukrainian poet whose nose gets broken by Russian separatists; and a long-lost relative who drives a bus into the heart of Chernobyl. On Our Way Home from the Revolution muddles our easy distinctions between innocence and culpability, agency and fate.

  I was supposed to be living alone my last year of college, not rooming with the idiot werewolf captain of the football team. I despise him. So why can’t I stop kissing him? 
  Mark 
  Getting a full-ride to an elite paranormal college is no easy task. And keeping my grades high is a requirement if I want to maintain that scholarship. That means I don’t have time for parties, boys, or drama. 
  It also means I always get a room to myself so I can focus on my magical studies. So when I move in senior year to find a werewolf stinking up my room, things get a little tense. Not only is there no way to get rid of him, but he’s an idiot to boot. 
  However, when the full moon rises and he kisses me, my whole world is turned upside down. 
  Dustin 
  Werewolves don’t go to elite schools. We just aren’t academic types usually. So when I get in on a football scholarship, I have to work double time to keep my grades up and perform well on the field. 
  Senior year, I’m made captain of the team, and that comes with perks, like a room all to myself. Except when I arrive, it’s not empty. Instead, there’s a sassy male witch glaring at me every chance he gets. 
  It’s clear we hate one another, but there’s something I’m not telling him. 
  He’s my mate. He just doesn’t know it yet. 
  TROPES: standalone, gay for you/bi awakening, alpha wolf, roommate, enemies to lovers, witch x familiar, fated mates, forbidden love, forced proximity, found family, strict roles, and HEA.

  “Utopia once created, cannot long endure the onslaught of human nature.” 
  The Great Destruction brought Earth to its knees. 
  As centuries passed, humanity grew into the near-utopian realm of Tartica, founded on free love, dedicated to living off nature, and committed to repopulating civilization. Living the dream, Reyne’s only desire is to marry Mithany, raise a family, and reap the promise of a simple life. 
  But Reyne’s hopes are shattered when assassins from the parallel domain of Evidar, a brutal world condemned to exist forever in darkness, arrive on Tartica just days before his wedding… and mark him for death. Elsewhere, benevolent leaders guiding Tartica’s ideal society succumb to dark ambitions based on tainted promises and spark events that threaten to set millennia of cultural harmony ablaze. 
  As Reyne refuses to accept that he alone can pass through to a parallel realm—that he doesn’t believe exists—to kill its leader, secrets are revealed, lies are laid bare, and what cannot be real… is. 
  Driving everything towards chaos, the Devil’s Blacksmith, Evidar’s master manipulator, has secrets of his own and will stop at nothing to secure salvation for his world and freedom from its perpetual darkness at the expense of Reyne’s life and Tartica’s existence. 
  Utopia Falling: A Darkness Rises begins the dark epic fantasy trilogy, The Utopia Falling Saga.

  Paul Lambert, a quiet introspective young man, is thrown, bewildered and unprepared, into the daunting world of a busy surgical unit. Through his eyes numerous ʻpatient episodesʼ are described - many amusing, some serious, others poignant but all very ʻhumanʼ.  
  After early misadventures, both surgical and romantic, he gains confidence and experience and becomes a key member of the team. Had James Herriot been a young surgeon, not a vet, these are the tales he might have told.
