Sinopse

Two natural disasters. Two young men worlds apart seeking their pathways in life, and their unlikely intersection.
When Buffalo, NY, language teacher Bryant Simmons goes online looking for a chat buddy, he stumbles onto a post by the young Moroccan Issam LeBeau, desperate to find a man to rescue him from the strict and conservative culture of his country. While Bryant has little interest in corresponding with Issam, he warns him about the dangers of having a post of this kind in his city of Marrakech. Issam agrees to remove it only if Bryant continues talking to him. And so ensues an extended discussion of lifestyles and cultural differences, the two men becoming ever closer. 
In spite of Issam's prodding, Bryant isn't sure how far he wants to take the exchange beyond a friendship, at times feeling trapped by the demands of the young man. But fate takes the upper hand, drawing the two closer as one faces death in a freezing blizzard, the other in a terrible earthquake.

    "Dylan makes me laugh and makes me brave. I love Paper Doll, and I love this woman.”—Glennon Doyle, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed 
      
    Actress and content creator Dylan Mulvaney’s honest account of her journey through girlhood 
      
    When Dylan Mulvaney came out as a woman online, she was a viral sensation almost overnight, emerging as a trailblazing voice on social media. Dylan’s personal coming-out story blossomed into a platform for advocacy and empowerment for trans people all over the world. 
      
    Through her “Days of Girlhood” series, she connected with followers by exploring what it means to be a girl, from experimenting with makeup to story times to spilling the tea about laser hair removal, while never shying away from discussing the transphobia she faced online. Nevertheless, she was determined to be a beacon of positivity. 
      
    But shortly after she celebrated day 365 of being a girl, it all came screeching to a halt when an innocuous post sparked a media firestorm and right-wing backlash she couldn’t have expected. Despite the vitriolic press and relentless paparazzi, Dylan was determined to remain loud and proud. 
      
    In Paper Doll: Notes from a Late Bloomer, Dylan pulls back the curtain of her “It Girl” lifestyle with a witty and intimate reflection of her life pre- and post-transition. She covers everything from her first big break in theater to the first time her dad recognized her as a girl to how she handled scandals, cancellations, and … tucking. It’s both laugh-out-loud funny and powerfully honest—and is a love letter to everyone who stands up for queer joy.

    We’d shared a forever love. The kind they write stories about. A once in a lifetime chance at something special. For fourteen years Davis was my world. We were growing old together, fifties and counting. Then it was all ripped away in the blink of an eye. 
    We’d told each other everything, or so I thought. But secrets have a way of bubbling to the surface and it turned out Davis kept a few of his own. Hidden laptops, clandestine meetings, cryptic emails. The husband I’d believed in was a lie. 
    Or was he? 
    I have to find out. And Madigan Church is right there to help me. A complicated man. A man I wasn’t expecting. An attraction I can’t deny. Confusing. Challenging. Madigan makes me feel things I’m not ready for. Want things I don’t deserve. Not now. Maybe not ever again. 
    But with every step into the twisted mystery, the danger escalates. Neither of us is safe. Not from the truth, and not from what’s growing between us. 
    Because we aren’t the only ones on the hunt. Somewhere amongst my late husband’s secrets is something worth stealing, maybe even worth killing for. 
    And time is running out. 
    Author’s note: This story features the death of a spouse who is not a main character. 
    ‘The Meaning of You’ is the first book in a romantic suspense series following the same couple. There are no relationship cliffhangers.

    Sequel to Call Me Methuselah
    Dating a caveman isn't what Radhi had in mind. He likes guys his own age. Sure, Oscar passes for twenty, but he isn't. They look identical, but they're not. Oscar's tried telling him, but who would believe such a thing -- until now. Radhi can't deny it anymore -- his ex-boyfriend's a caveman. 
    After knocking out Dr. Killington's thug and rescuing Oscar, Radhi's worried he'll get arrested. He launches his father's boat on Lake Mead and knows the perfect hideout. He and Oscar can figure out what's next for them. 
    When Dr. Killington learns the secret in Oscar's blood, it gives Oscar two choices -- remain on the run, away from Killington, or turn himself in. Whether the FBI, FDA, or whoever, someone ought to know what Killington's been up to. Experiments with Oscar's rare stem cells have cured people and made them young again. 
    Cursed to see the end of days, Oscar can't bear losing another loved one. If only Radhi could be with him when the world ends, but Radhi doesn't love him.
    Never having lost someone, death seems unreal to Radhi ... until a close encounter. Understanding mortality for the first time, he learns the meaning of Oscar's gift and the threat of his curse. When Oscar shares adventures from the Stone Age, the surprisingly intimate stories draw Radhi in and change his heart. He knows what he must do.
