  Even death needs company…
  The Skelf women are recovering from the cataclysmic events that nearly claimed their lives. Their funeral-director and private-investigation businesses are back on track, and their cases are as perplexing as ever.
  Matriarch Dorothy looks into a suspicious fire at an illegal campsite and takes a grieving, homeless man under her wing. Daughter Jenny is searching for her missing sister-in-law, who disappeared in tragic circumstances, while grand-daughter Hannah is asked to investigate increasingly dangerous conspiracy theorists, who are targeting a retired female astronaut … putting her own life at risk.
  With a body lost at sea, funerals for those with no one to mourn them, reports of strange happenings in outer space, a funeral crasher with a painful secret, and a violent attack on one of the family, The Skelfs face their most personal – and perilous – cases yet. Doing things their way may cost them everything…
  Tense, unnerving and warmly funny, The Opposite of Lonely is the hugely anticipated fifth instalment in the unforgettable Skelfs series, and this time, danger comes from everywhere…

  Wyatt Calder is trapped -- in a rundown neighborhood, in a dead-end job, by the endless string of trouble his brother drags to their door -- and it seems he's destined to slowly fade away within the aging walls of Picket House, longing for his neighbor. That is, until his upstairs neighbor Abel Walters dies on the staircase just outside Wyatt's door.
   
  Saalik has spent most of his existence asleep and waiting for the next person to discover his bottle and claim their wishes. And the last four years playing prized possession to Abel Walters and spying on the downstairs neighbors. But he has a plan. And, like every plan worth planning, it has taken patience. But if life as a Jinn has taught Saalik nothing else, it's taught him that.
   
  When a break-in sends Wyatt out his second-story bedroom window and into his dead upstairs neighbor's apartment, he finds more than a place to hide. He discovers a magical solution to all his troubles.
   
  Or does he? Because really, when is life ever that simple?

  Seamus O'Donnell has loved Mine for many lives, and he can remember most of them. Unfortunately for Seamus, Mine can't remember a thing, and Seamus can remember every little detail except how to act when he's around Mine. All the passion they had before, now seems to turn into awkwardness.
  Mine keeps having dreams about Seamus. Hot dreams. Weird dreams. Dreams that he's blue. Even though he knows he knew Seamus before, for the life of him, he can't remember how, and no one will tell him a thing. As much as he desires the gorgeous man in front of him, Mine can't be sure that it's a mutual thing, and he doesn't plan on getting involved with anyone until he knows what's going on. 
  When on Winter Solstice they find themselves trapped in a cabin alone in a blizzard, things get more than a little intense. As they battle weather, nature, and a plan that seems like it could only be designed by the ancestors, they wonder if this is just one more life time keeping them apart, or if they might finally be reaping the seeds of love?

  The Dreaming

  Andre Bagoo

  These stories have the virtue of taking the everyday lives of gay Trinidadian men utterly for granted in their searches for adventure, pleasure, self-realisation, loving contact and sex. Written with a sharpness of perception and in a variety of engaging personal voices, these narratives find room for humour, tragic haircuts, and a connection between tattoos and terrible poetry. But they also acknowledge very real fears in a society where there is still prejudice, discrimination and homophobic violence. The narrator of several of these pieces is a writer who wants to focus on the pleasures and inner dramas of these lives as the truth about gay experience. But there are also the stories of brutal murders reported with coy innuendo in the press. If he is tempted to see his lovers as characters in a witty fiction of manners, is this the novel that can be written in Trinidad? And since this is Trinidad, could the conflicted, self-hating Dorian really be a serial killer? But then when one of Bagoo's writer narrators unwittingly alarms his writing buddies by the freedom of his gothic imagination, who knows what might be true. Not for nothing does the author include the singer Kate Bush with her Wuthering Heights in his acknowledgements. Bagoo's stories offer a witty and incisive portrait of contemporary Trinidad in all its intersections of race, class and gender politics. Not least, they have a strong sense of place – Bagoo's gay Woodbrook offers a fine sequel to V.S. Naipaul's Woodbrook in his classic Miguel Street.
