AJ’s “Boy Luck Club” helps him find love, pride, and belonging—until a brutal attack tests everything they know about friendship and family.   Meticulously observed, Gaysians is a fierce, funny, and tender story of queer resilience and self-discovery. “I’ve been hunting for books like this my whole life; this story broke my heart and healed it.”—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer

With the New Year’s Eve ball approaching fast and the hotel’s reputation hanging by a thread, Cleo must find the killer before the ball, and the hotel itself, are ruined. But catching a murderer proves just as difficult as navigating the hotel’s hierarchy and the peculiarities of her family.

  A US Marshal Thriller 
  In the heart-pounding thriller, REDEMPTION, US Marshal Dirk Sterling faces his most challenging mission yet: capturing the elusive fugitive, Beaux Crandall. Crandall, a criminal with a rap sheet that chills the spine, escaped a life sentence in a Federal Supermax and is now living life somewhere on a beach where he continues his reign of terror: dealing in drugs, guns, and child pornography. Dirk pledges to hunt him down and bring him back to the United States to face justice. 
  To make matters worse, Dirk isn’t sure whom he can trust. Someone on the inside of either the US Marshal Service or the FBI had to have helped Crandall escape. Dirk feels personally responsible for not discovering the mole before Crandall was set free on the world to harm more innocent people. To redeem himself, Dirk must apprehend Crandall and put him behind bars for life. 
  Dirk is determined to end Crandall's evil reign, but the fugitive's location remains a mystery. However, a glimmer of hope appears when Dirk discovers that Crandall's only weakness may be the love he still harbors for his deceased bodyguard and friend's mother, who resides in Mexico City. 
  In this electrifying tale of love, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice, REDEMPTION takes readers on a thrilling journey where the bonds of friendship, the depths of love, and the quest for retribution converge in an explosive climax that will leave you breathless.
