    20-something and uncertain about her future, Florentyna Leow is exhilarated when an old acquaintance offers her an opportunity for work and cohabitation in a little house in the hills of Kyoto.
    Florentyna begins a new job as a tour guide, taking tourists on elaborate and expensive trips around Kyoto's cultural hotspots. Amidst the busy tourist traps and overrun temples, Florentyna develops her own personal map of the city: a favourite smoky jazz kissa; a top-shelf katsuobushi loving cat; an elderly lady named Yamaguchi-san, who shares her sweets and gives Florentyna a Japanese name.
    Meanwhile, her relationship with her new companion develops an intensity as they live and work together. Their little kitchen, the epicenter of their shared life, overlooks a community garden dominated by a fruitful persimmon tree. Their relationship burns bright, but seasons change, the persimmon tree out back loses its fruit, and things grow strange between the two women.
    How Kyoto Breaks Your Heart is a collection about the ways in which heartbreak can fill a place and make it impossible to stay.

    Syprina Quiroz's life had been difficult from the start. What began with being bullied led to an adolescence filled with alcohol and substance abuse  meaningless relationships  and eventually  crime. Now it had all caught up with her and she was headed for prison. But that was not the end of the story. God had plans to turn her life around. It was in prison that Syprina discovered that none of us have faced so much  or done so much  that we cannot begin again. With utter frankness  Syprina shares the downward spiral that landed her in prison and the faith that helped her overcome her shame and navigate the serious consequences that followed her into her future. In I Can Start Over she describes how  in unlikely places and unlikely ways  God enabled her to rise above her circumstances and bring hope to others. This story is a compelling testament to personal tenacity  the redemptive power of a faith-filled  supportive community  and the relentless promise of God to restore even the most broken life to all He intended.

    Gigmentia - A Drummer's Love...

    Michael B. Koep

    Gig, a slang word coined in the 1920s by jazz musicians, short for engagement or live musical performance, combined with the latin based suffix -mentia, meaning, condition of the mind, the invented word gigmentia might be defined as engagement of the mind. Or, perhaps, that confusing state of too many shows, too many late nights, too many repetitions to remember accurately—the struggle to recount the long performance that is our life. Gigmentia is a reflection on the raw, challenging, and gritty vocation of a blue-collar musician living in the Pacific Northwest, and the varied adventures of a hard working, day-in day-out rock band. Introspective, insightful, and eloquently observed, Koep chronicles a summer season of fifty rock shows performed in small clubs, huge bars, and on outdoor festival stages, in barns, backyards, and the middle of the woods. Between gigs, Koep writes of sword fights on the lawn with his young son, the challenges of building a household, of world travel, pop music, poetry, and of the fascinating pursuit of the writer’s craft as he works toward completing his third novel. As the summer wanes and he balances the rigors and joys of live performance, promoting his books, and being a father and partner, his mother descends into dementia and forgets the world around her, including her son. Gigmentia is an intimate tableau of an artist’s life; a love song to drums, fatherhood, writing, and to the passing of a beloved mom.
