Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Written in fresh, snappy prose, the book includes multiple twists and turns....Funny and LGBTQ+ affirming, Darts and Flowers is a story about teenagers who are desperate to be loved, validated, and part of a community." (5 of 5 stars!) - Foreword Reviews When Josh Bradshaw returns to his childhood home and the house down the street from his childhood best friend, it seems like it could be a new beginning. After all, he's older now, and although his feelings haven't changed, he now has words to describe what he felt. He's gay, and he's had a crush on Brian Esau since they were eleven. Zack Standish couldn't be happier that his best friend is back home, and although he's not sure how to respond to the fact that Josh is gay, there is one very clear silver lining: Missy, the girl of his dreams, is dating his best friend's crush. The plan is simple: 1. Break up Brian and Missy. 2. Confess their love to their respective crushes. 3. Live happily ever after. It's a win-win for everyone... or maybe not. When the plan spirals out of control, Zack and Josh must choose what matters most—their childhood friendship or the romance just within reach. Debut young adult author Dean Backus spins a fun and crafty tale of friendship, identity, secrets, and love in this LGBTQ romantic comedy set in the 1990s at a private Seattle high school. Darts and Flowers is inspired by Shakespeare’s comedies and iconic teen films of the 90s. "The Breakfast Club-esque cast spans the breadth of academic institution social-strata with a perfect mix of personalities comprising the secondary characters....This is a well-written, laugh out loud (even during the painful scenes) epic that takes the best of high school, Twelfth Night-inspired dramedy and infuses it with current social sensibilities, wrapping it all in a warm, hopeful hug." - Booklife Booklife suggests Darts and Flowers is great for fans of: Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being A Wallflower and Lindsay Sproul’s We Were Promised Spotlights. Readers compare it to Only Mostly Devastated by Sophie Gonzales and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. Enjoy!

Download or read book Covid 57 written by  Glen Rocky Meyers and published by Glen Meyers. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covid-57 continued its rampage, attacking our human existence. Many doomsayers had predicted it would be Nuclear Holocaust that would end civilization as we know it. No, it wasn’t a Biblical prophecy of the Apocalypse described in the book of Revelation. Nor was it a Super-volcano, rogue Asteroid, or comet slamming into Earth. The great Flood didn’t wash away humanity, nor did an unstoppable Fire burn us to crispy critters or suffocate us with black smoke. The Sun didn’t finally fizzle out. Nope, it was a Pandemic named Covid-57. The leaders of all the countries in the world had to put aside their differences and forget about animosities temporarily to survive the killer virus. The World Order became the powerbroker for all governments. Either their policies were synched and aligned with the W.O., or they faced isolation and Blockades. Food and supplies became scarce, and mere sustenance was impossible without being in collusion with the W.O.… Shasta County, California, became the testing ground for what was planned for the rest of the world’s inhabitants. Mandatory Vaccinations were ordered, and panic-cannibalized people… who didn’t dare oppose the coordinated propaganda. Social media was saturated along with every other public outlet. People were dying in the streets; the sensationalism was Hollywood based and horrific. Every Religious leader became a pawn… Christians and Islamists were united, and churches became vaccination centers across our planet. But there was hope because not all people kowtowed. Many fighting back against Marshal Law were the younger generations who weren’t brainwashed yet. Militias populated, and the NIA Militia was at the forefront, aligned with Bethel Church. Yes, hope existed, although bleak…

Rose looks like an adorable toddler, but she has a feral attitude, an aversion to bathing, and a smell that follows her no matter where she goes. Whenever Josh’s parents aren’t looking, Rose talks to him like an adult and shows him her fur and teeth. When Josh starts feeling strange bumps on his head, Rose reveals that she is a Netah, an animal shapeshifter sent to oversee his transformation as he comes of age. Because the bumps on his head aren’t just bumps; they’re antlers. And Josh is a halfling, the son of his Netah elk father who abandoned him when he was born. Soon, Josh is shocked to realize that many people in his life are also Netahs. The lunch lady at his school is a heron, his friend is a raven, and the bully who always pushes Josh in the hallways is a bear. It’s up to these Netahs to make sure Josh doesn’t expose their true nature to the other humans. When Josh finally does transform, the Netah council tells him that he must pass three tests to join their society. Trapped in his animal form, Josh goes into the lush Colorado wilderness with four of his new Netah friends to not only master his ability to transform, but to prove himself trustworthy to the council. If he doesn’t succeed, he won’t only risk being an outsider forever; the council may decide to protect their secrets—permanently.
