    For readers who enjoy a dark mysterious plot with their sexy books, this m/m (and m/m/m) series is just as sinister as it is kinky and was inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe tale, “The Fall of the House of Usher.” 
    A gay otter boy (meaning: a young fit man who does not shave his body hair) named Alexander, is an out-of-work huslter in his small town by the ocean. In a sudden change of luck he finds himself drawn to a strange mansion and inside, a mysterious millionaire pulls him into a world of sinister extravagance and sexual discipline. With a background as a sex worker, Alexander is no stranger to trading his furry body for money, but he was never expecting to develop deep feelings for his new eccentric keeper. 
    With an introduction to the BDSM lifestyle, the mostly submissive Alexander learns a great deal about himself and his master through whipping, CBT, endurance, and being collared to an older man. Unsure if he is a toy, pet, or partner to the Daddy of the manor he used to think was abandoned, Alexander navigates the secrets of the interior with another otter boy from his past. Things get complicated further when emotions for the other hustler in the strict hierarchy come to the surface and he breaks one of the many rules within the house. 
    Including paranormal elements and unexpected magic, this queer erotic romance series begins in the fall season at the House of Otter then twists and turns through the seasons. Expect: jockstraps and hairy men, Daddy and Boy dynamics, bondage, sadomachochism, harnesses, dominance, fetish gear, nipple play, mystical prophecies, destiny, and whispered words with the power to open the door to forbidden fantasies. In the end, Alexander must decide how much of his body and sexual freedom he is willing to surrender in exchange for a life of opulent luxury. 
    It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer, kinky, and paranormal twist!

    Treaty Justice - The Northwest...

    In 1974, Judge George Boldt issued a ruling that affirmed the fishing rights and tribal sovereignty of Native nations in Washington State. The Boldt Decision transformed Indigenous law and resource management across the United States and beyond. The case also brought about far-reaching societal changes, reinforcing tribal sovereignty and remedying decades of injustice. 
     
     
     
    Eminent legal historian and tribal advocate Charles Wilkinson tells the story of the Boldt Decision against the backdrop of salmon's central place in the cultures and economies of the Pacific Northwest. In the 1960s, Native people reasserted their fishing rights as delineated in nineteenth-century treaties. In response, state officials worked with non-Indian commercial and sport fishing interests to forcefully oppose Native actions. These "fish wars" spurred twenty tribes and the United States government to file suit in federal court. Boldt pointedly waited until Lincoln's birthday to hand down a decision recognizing the tribes' right to half of the state's fish. The case's aftermath led from the Supreme Court's affirmation of Boldt's opinion to collaborative management of the harvest of salmon. 
     
     
     
    Treaty Justice weaves personalities and local detail into the definitive account of one of the twentieth century's most important civil rights cases.

    Interspersing personal memoir with radical notions of self-help and collective recovery, Warrior Princesses Strike Back focuses how Indigenous activist strategies can be a crucial roadmap for contemporary truth and healing. 
     
    Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is home to the original people of this land, yet it is also one of the poorest communities in America. Through intimate and vulnerable memoir, Lakota twin sisters Sarah Eagle Heart and Emma Eagle Heart–White recount growing up on the reservation and overcoming enormous odds, first as teenage girls in a majority-white high school, and then battling bias in their professional careers. Woven throughout are self-help strategies centering women of color, that combine marginalized histories, psychological research on trauma, and perspectives on decolonial therapy. Through the lens of Indigenous activism, the Eagle Hearts explore the possibility of healing intergenerational and personal trauma by focusing on traditional strategies of reciprocity, acknowledgment, and collectivism.

    AN IMPORTANT NEW BOOK ON HOW TO FIX AMERICA BY A POLITICAL OUTSIDER. 
    America is broken. America is divided. 80% of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track. And everything you need to know about the Divided States of America can be explained by two relentless forces: hyper-individualism and hyper-capitalism.  
    American Restraint explores how both hyper-individualism and hyper-capitalism are what is fundamentally ripping our country apart. Traditional solutions and status quo politicians can’t help us.  
    Patrick Trepanier is a powerful new voice addressing the real root causes and solutions for our divided country. 
    The first solution is in the Constitution…an Article V Convention of States. A Convention proposing three popular amendments: a balanced budget amendment, term limits for Congress, and limits to the power and jurisdiction of the federal government.   
    Then we need more “innovation and experimentation” by individual states to restrain the forces of hyper-individualism and hyper-capitalism. 
    American Restraint challenges decades of failed Democratic and Republican policies and calls for new pragmatic solutions that put the needs of children, families and communities first.   
    This groundbreaking new book also provides a framework to restore respect for religion, rebuild the middle class, restrain toxic consumerism, restore community trust, restrain the Wall Street Casino, restrain Big Tech’s control over our lives, reduce illegal competition for American jobs, promote resilience and service to help disadvantaged Americans. 
    American Restraint. The handbook to fix America.
