Book excerpt: I realized he was writing over the blue stains, now dry, with new words. Nothing that had been lost couldn't be created again. Blue Ink follows Charlie, a reserved writer coping with the trauma of his childhood, and Levi, a wild partier struggling with loneliness, who meet on their college campus in the chaos of a thunderstorm. Levi makes it his mission to break down Charlie's walls and foster a deeper relationship. But just as Levi learns about the loss of Charlie's brother to addiction, and starts to realize his feelings for Charlie, he begins spiraling with his own drug use. Incredibly dark, unapologetically raw, Blue Ink displays the humanity behind often-stigmatized topics like addiction, sexuality, and trauma. As they learn to navigate their personal challenges together, Charlie and Levi demonstrate the significance of sharing your emotions rather than suppressing them.

Download or read book They Call Me Orange Juice written by Audrey McDonald Atkins and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time she could barely see over the space bar of her old manual typewriter, to writing her popular southern culture blog, Folkways Nowadays, author Audrey McDonald Atkins has been sharing her downhome stories and essays about life in the South. In They Call Me Orange Juice, Atkins provides a nostalgic, poignant, and often-hilarious look at growing up in a small South Alabama town and how that upbringing still influences her today. What does it feel like to be the only Episcopalian at a Baptist church? How do you entertain yourself on a two-hour car trip with a dead man? What do you do when your foundation garment goes rogue in the middle of a busy intersection? And what price did they pay for calling her orange juice? Atkins answers all these questions and more in her own unmistakable Southern style. She recounts stories about the men who congregated in the police station and the eccentric characters who worked on Main Street, shares words of wisdom from her Granny, and tells how one superstitious old man could literally make it rain even during the dry, dog days of summer. Each person still lives in Atkins memory frozen in time just as they were in the 70s, and its these ghosts of bygone days who shine through in They Call Me Orange Juice.

A holy man, a shaman, a psychiatrist, and a professor are on a mission: to fight parasitic creatures waiting inside moments of time to warp reality and take control of their host. As the group approaches a house in a quiet neighborhood, they suspect something evil is about to happen. Unfortunately it is too late by the time they enter. A teenager has already killed his parents and sister, thanks to an evil force that now controls him. When Father Frank Keller is contacted by the group to help prevent the once banished shadows from gaining a foothold, he is thrust into a covert battle between forces of good and evil. The only way to stop the forces is to enter a portal where the shadows come from and turn the tide. As Father Keller struggles to find the faith to combat the evil and help the group, he has no idea that he is about to be led straight to the gates of hell. The 13th Month is the suspenseful tale of a priest’s courageous journey into a dark world where he sacrifices more than he ever imagines in an effort to stop evil forces before they strike again.
