  Sequel to Call Me Church
  Johnny Smith's luck has been bad from the moment the Stock Market crashed and he'd been forced to leave an exclusive boarding school, and he sees no reason to believe it will ever change. But then he meets Church Chetwood, a dashing, devil-may-care director of motion pictures, and his life is turned topsy-turvy when Chetwood takes him along on what the man promises will be the adventure of a lifetime. Johnny doesn't care, as long as he's with his Mr. Chetwood. 
  The year before, Church had hired Captain Johansen to take him to the mysterious island of Iwi Po'o on the tramp steamer August Moon. There he'd found and captured a sabretooth tiger and brought the animal back to the States. "Chetwood's Kitty," so dubbed by the press, is the reason he has to leave New York so precipitously -- people had died and the law is after him. The only bright spot is the kid he'd come across in a saloon. Church thinks he's had the best idea of his life when he decides to take Johnny along with him to the South Seas. He and Captain Johansen plan to make a living transporting goods from one island to another, and they have every intention of avoiding Iwi Po'o.
  But a treacherous stowaway has plans to take the August Moon for himself, and convinces the men to mutiny. Johnny, Church, the skipper, the ship's cook, and the wireless operator, accompanied by the little girl Johnny had rescued from prostitution, find themselves in a lifeboat, with Iwi Po'o the only spot of land. The last time Church was on this island, twelve men lost their lives to what lived there. Will Johnny, Church, and their friends somehow manage to make it our alive this time?

  It's seven Gay-M at the Fitness Time gym, and JT is stuck in a time loop. But he doesn't know it yet. He is a man on a mission. He bundled up to brave the snow on his work-from-home day. Now he plans to pump some iron with his bros and take full advantage of the crowded steam room. At this hour, the gym is packed with ripped, sweaty men who make having abs their entire personality, and JT knows with his backwards pink hat that he'll fit right in.
  Tall, lanky, and bespectacled Noel begrudgingly attends the gym at this hour as well. He's dressed in his favorite comic book T-shirt and garish yellow track pants. The gym bros treat him like he's invisible or unworthy of taking up space. But he doesn't despair. He's not here for the scene, only for the health benefits. That is, until his path crosses with JT. 
  At first, JT treats Noel as poorly as all the other jocks. The question is whether JT will realize that's why he's stuck in a time loop. 
  Can JT overcome his past to rediscover himself? Will he find a way to not only appreciate Noel but also to prove himself worthy of Noel's affection? Or will he continue down his lonely path of pumping iron while denying his true interests only to end up alone or stuck in this loop forever?

  One day, Eason Wickham will push his next-door neighbor down the stairs. Nate Allen might be hot, but he's the most annoying person Eason has ever met. He has no respect for the people living in the building, and night after night, he has a party. Whenever Eason rings his doorbell and tells him to keep it down, he flirts and tries to get Eason to come inside.
  Calling the cops does not affect Nate's behavior, and neither do Eason's angry Post-It notes. But when Eason is hit by a car and fractures his leg, Nate sends his friends packing and makes sure Eason is okay. He cooks for him, shops for him, and does his laundry, but he's still the most annoying person Eason has ever met. Right? 
  The cute Post-Its Nate leaves for him to find doesn't mean he's a different person, and while Eason longs for when Nate gets off work every day, it doesn't mean they should be more than friends. Does it?

  Mingle

  Caleb Parkin's dark and mischievous second poetry collection Mingle stirs up the toxicities between landscapes, ecosystems and bodies, in poems bubbling over with hyper-wealth and haunted by tarnished ideals. Through creatures, compounds and chemicals, the poems probe what makes up our world's matter, and how we use it for good or ill. From gold to hydrocarbons, radioactive gardening to viral memes, the resulting mixture is a potent poetic cocktail…
  Here, intimate connections and grand narratives are unsettled; we are implicated in prickly histories and weird futures and the natural world reminds us of its unruliness – as well as our own. Reflections warp in noxious ponds and voices distort and echo in uncanny landscapes. At times hyperreal and surreal, adventurous and technicolour, Mingle fizzes with the possibilities of queered language and altered states of poetic form.
