    As this classic literature derived queer erotic romance continues, a new boy dwells within the House of Otter with Alexander. Adjusting to a life of extravagance and sexual discipline continues to thrill and trouble the young otter as fresh fantasies and furry men present themselves to satisfy his growing appetite for passionate submission. 
    Battling the expected trades Alexander must make for his recently satiated need of financial security, he learns more about the inner-workings and secrets of the mysterious estate and the magical ties which reward obedience. 
    As he explores his relationship with each gay man and how it corolates with his past as a husler, a discovery within the mansion may help him understand more about his keeper and the seemingly magical house he now calls home. What he finds among the secret doors and hidden rooms will reveal a history that will impact every otter’s future. 
    With just as many jockstraps, furry otter boys, Daddy and boy dynamics, CBT, bondage equipment, fetish gear, power exchange, and mystical forbidden fantasies; this second book promises to be equally sinister and kinky as the first, but with even more dark deception. 
    It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer, kinky, and paranormal twist! 
    This MM BDSM Paranormal Dark Erotic Romance takes consent seriously. No otter boys were harmed (unless they wanted to be) in the writing of this book.*

    A novel explanation for why politicians insult, accuse, and threaten their opponents, even though voters say they don't like it. 
     
     
     
    Why do politicians engage in nasty politics? Why do they use insult, accusations, intimidation, and in rare cases violence against their domestic political opponents? In Nasty Politics, Thomas Zeitzoff answers these questions by examining this global political trend in the US, Ukraine, and Israel and looking at how key leaders such as Trump, Zelensky, and Netanyahu use it. Drawing on surveys, case studies, in-depth interviews, databases of nasty politics, and large social media datasets, Zeitzoff shows that across all three countries, the public generally doesn't like nasty politics and it increases the threat of political violence. But it can also be a way to signal toughness to voters, which is especially important in threatening times. Featuring a powerful theory of why nastiness takes hold in democratic polities, Nasty Politics highlights how it influences the kinds of politicians who run for office and deepens our understanding for why so many politicians now rely on outsized 
    anger and withering insults for political gain.

    In her new inspirational memoir, Dr. Hattie N. Washington reveals how a country girl from the backwoods of Meherrin, Virginia succeeded through life with optimism, drive, and a belief in God to become an honor student, a master teacher, a parent to two accomplished daughters, and a foster parent to numerous abused foster boys over twenty-two years. She writes about family, relationships, and the complexities of growing up during the segregation and desegregation era, when the strike at R.R. Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia in 1951 led to the historic Brown v. Board of Education 1954 desegregation case.

    Ancient Futures

    Let yourself be swept away to Ladakh, a region nestled high in the Himalayan plateau. It is a place like no other. The brightest sky makes snow-covered mountain peaks sparkle for miles. Below, scree tumbles down the mountain sides, infinite shades of ocher, into winding glacier-fed streams. The streams support a surrounding tapestry of vibrant green fields interspersed with stone houses, while on a nearby outcropping, a whitewashed monastery sits, overseeing the village, linking together land, people, mountains, and sky. 
    Ancient Futures is a lyrical and moving portrait of tradition and change in Ladakh, or “Little Tibet", as it was once known. The book is also an engaging critique of the global economy and a call for economic localization. When author, Helena Norberg-Hodge, first arrived in Ladakh in the 1970s, she found a pristine environment and a people who exhibited remarkable vitality and joy. Not long after, came economic growth and development and Norberg-Hodge watched how a whole range of problems—from polluted air and water to unemployment, religious conflict, eating disorders and youth suicide—began to appear for the first time. 
    Yet this is far from a story of despair. Social and environmental breakdown, Norberg-Hodge argues, is neither inevitable nor evolutionary, but the product of political and economic decisions—and those decisions can be changed. In a new Afterword for this audiobook, she contextualizes the current big-picture crises we face and the solutions each of us can be a part of. Norberg-Hodge also introduces us to a multitude of grassroots initiatives—a manifestation of a rapidly growing localization movement. She shows it is possible to reweave the local, the human-scale, and the place-based back into our lives, without terrible sacrifice, but rather to the benefit of all humans and nature. The story of Ladakh continues to serve as a source of inspiration to anyone interested in creating a better future.
