  MMM Chief Warrant Officer...

  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.

  Ever since Dryden Morris III was young, his mother has told him about the balance of the world. While she weaves jewelry to sell at the marketplace, Dryden learns how every perfect gem begs to be damaged while every bad situation will be corrected by the universe. This is why symmetry is fearful --because when something is perfect, it only sets itself up to be destroyed.
  Dryden doesn't believe his mother's stories until his father dies and they are forced to survive on their own. One night, Dryden ventures into the woods that surround their house. There he meets Otto, a hunter who protects him from a deranged fox and begins to sweep Dryden off his feet. But Otto is not quite who he says he is. The morning after, Dryden realizes Otto has trapped him unless he can solve three riddles in three days. 
  With the help of his mother's stories, and the same fox that once threatened him, Dryden must now beat the monster in the woods if he wants to restore perfect balance to the universe once again.

  Captain Mark Thomas’s world has been tossed on its head: A long overdue but still unexpected divorce. A promotion out of left field. Last-second orders to a ship where careers go to die. As the dust settles in his new home, he barely recognizes his life, but he sure recognizes the loneliness creeping in. 
  Diego Ramírez wants nothing to do with the military or its men. Not after the Navy burned him both literally and figuratively, costing him his career, his health, and ultimately his green card. Now working illegally in an Anchor Point bar, he keeps the military and its personnel at arm’s length. 
  But after a single moment of eye contact across the bar, Mark and Diego can’t resist each other. As a one-night stand quickly turns into more, Diego knows he’s playing with fire. Now he can stick around and let things with Mark inevitably fall apart, or he can run like hell and wonder what might have been. One way or another, Diego knows he’s about to get burned. Again.

  Spent - A Comic Novel

  The celebrated and beloved New York Times bestselling author of the modern classic Fun Home presents a laugh-out-loud, brilliant, and passionately political work of autofiction, adapted for audio by the author herself and brought to life with a full cast star-studded cast including Alison Bechdel as Narrator, Jenn Colella as Alison, and Ali Liebegott as Lois 
  In Alison Bechdel’s hilariously skewering and gloriously cast new comic novel confection, a cartoonist named Alison Bechdel, running a pygmy goat sanctuary in Vermont, is existentially irked by a climate-challenged world and a citizenry on the brink of civil war. She wonders: Can she pull humanity out of its death spiral by writing a scathingly self-critical memoir about her own greed and privilege? 
  Meanwhile, Alison’s first graphic memoir about growing up with her father, a taxidermist who specialized in replicas of Victorian animal displays, has been adapted into a highly successful TV series. It’s a phenomenon that makes Alison, formerly on the cultural margins, the envy of her friend group (recognizable as characters, now middle-aged and living communally in Vermont, from Bechdel’s beloved comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For). 
  As the TV show Death and Taxidermy racks up Emmy after Emmy—and when Alison’s Pauline Bunyanesque partner Holly posts an instructional wood-chopping video that goes viral—Alison’s own envy spirals. Why couldn’t she be the writer for a critically lauded and wildly popular reality TV show…like Queer Eye...showing people how to free themselves from consumer capitalism and live a more ethical life?!! 
  Produced with immersive sound effects and music, Spent’s rollicking and masterful denouement—making the case for seizing what’s true about life in the world at this moment, before it’s too late—once again proves that “nobody does it better” (New York Times Book Review) than the real Alison Bechdel.
