Book excerpt: "It Is What It Is" is an urban tale of a girl who struggles to become a productive and secure woman. When this young girl becomes an adult she is forced to look at the crossroads of her life. She doesn't know which way to turn since she has carried so much emotional and destructive baggage with her from her past. This baggage doesn't allow her to clearly see her future as crystal clear as she would like. When she tries to let go of the pain from her past (25 years after the fact) she thinks maybe it's too late. She wants to live long enough to learn the lesson that is needed to get over her pain but isn't sure if she has the time to apply that lesson to her life. The book mainly centers on Sasha Miller as she navigates aspects of her personal and professional experiences. The tale touches upon diverse challenges one tends to find in a sometimes, uncertain urban society, paying special attention to the relative complexities of human interaction. In numerous twists and turns, the tale also highlights notions of identity, loyalty and belief in various forms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This emotionally resonant dystopian succeeds at turning the end of the world into a new beginning." - Publishers Weekly A love story set in a bad dream about America, concerning permanent debt, secret police, making dinner, and unpaid invoices—right up until the end of the world. It’s Brooklyn. It’s winter. It’s so cold outside you could execute billionaires in the street about it. Sam lives with Eleanor and they are in love. He has three or four outstanding invoices that would each cover rent for a month. At some point, the President is going to make some absolutely wild announcements that will only end in doom. In a surreal, funny, and heart-breaking version of reality, Sasha Fletcher’s highly anticipated first novel occupies that rare register that manages to speak to an increasingly incomprehensible world. Through scenes that poetically transform the mundane into the sublime and the absurd into the tragic, Be Here to Love Me at the End of the World is about the exquisite beauty of being in love in a world that is falling apart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amanda's friend Sasha's stepmother has just committed suicide—although, according to Sasha, Phoebe Ennis would never have killed herself, especially not while having a drink and wearing a red silk blouse and red sandals with four-inch heels. Amanda isn't persuaded, but reluctantly agrees to help investigate the woman's demise, though the evidence for foul play is slim. True, the middle-aged compulsive collector of knickknacks wasn't universally loved. Phoebe's own son hated her, and she bored her friends to death with hints of her "royal" lineage. And with four marriages behind her, she was already preparing to announce her renewed availability on the Net. But when another woman is found dead in Phoebe's house, it becomes clear that something is indeed murderously amiss, and much closer to home than Amanda or anyone else could have imagined.

Originating from ancient Rome now to over 2100 years later he's found home in a sleepy little beach town in New Zealand. It's 1986 and the world has changed a lot, being born totally deaf the road has been a hard one to live in with little communication with people over the passing centuries. Being totally estranged from his twin brother for the past millennium he has to cope with accidentally exposing himself as the vampire he is to a human, not just any human an employee that has been working for him for the last six years. With the immortals being a constant threat to vampires and their way of life, what happens when an immortal shows up who Quintus believed was dead from a time when he was still mortal. This book is written in New Zealand English and it is written more to the way New Zealanders speak, if you have never heard a kiwi speak the lingo in this book might not make sense to you. All of my books are written like this and I like to keep with my kiwi roots, in a sense it gives the characters each a character to them that they wouldn't have if they were American. I've based it at Kaiteriteri which is my most favourite beach in the world, it has a golden coarse sand that you don't see anywhere else with the clearest blue sea.

Download or read book Queer and Trans People of Colour in the UK written by Stephanie Davis and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the meanings of Queer and Trans People of Colour (QTPOC) activist groups in the UK, considering the tensions around inclusion and belonging across lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) and of colour communities and wider British society. Davis draws de-/anti-/post-colonial, Black feminist, and queer theory into critical psychology to publish the first book of its kind in the UK, developing an intersectional understanding of QTPOC subjectivities and identities. The book examines questions of belonging; racial melancholia; decolonising gender and sexualities; and the joys, erotics, and the difficulties of building and finding QTPOC community that can hold and celebrate our intersectional richness. Offering a radical and critical intervention into psychology, this volume will be of key interest to scholars in Gender Studies and Queer Studies, Psychology and Race, together with activists, community organisers, counsellors, and the third sector.
