<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The crew of space station Aphrodite 1 finds romance, love, and danger—as well as a mystery—in the upper atmosphere of Venus.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Aphrodite
1 Life Sciences Officer Dr. Giselle Rosseau hasn’t lost a crew member
yet—she’s not about to lose one now, either. Her first year aboard a
space station orbiting the hot, desolate second planet hasn’t been all
she hoped for, but she manages to work well under their less than
friendly commander, Seth McCloud. After Seth’s a freak accident in the
upper Venusian atmosphere, Giselle theorizes that perhaps their handsome
comatose commander’s irritating stick-up-his-ass demeanor is a cover
concealing a past heartache. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When Seth wakes and finds Giselle
pleasuring herself by his sickbed, to her surprise and delight he wants
to join in on the fun. Suddenly lonely Giselle finds both her empty
heart and bunk filled with a passion that can’t be denied. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />Now
everyone has a regular partner, and Giselle, Seth, and the rest of their
playful crewmates can’t wait for Valentine’s Day. Seth’s increased
strength and stamina since his accident is a mystery, but Giselle’s
surprise a few weeks later is even bigger. What really happened to Seth
in Venus’s upper atmosphere? Will it affect their future happiness
together?</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sounds of her shipmates’ lovemaking echoing from the other end of
the station caused her pussy muscles to flutter. Giselle licked her

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Francesca has had enough of her dead-end marriage. She walks out with no
regrets and in hopes of discovering what will make her life more
fulfilling. Following her passions for gardening and sustainable living,
she enrolls in a course to learn more and collides head-on with a
handsome Irishman, Callan O'Toole. Callan challenges her to apply for a
summer internship at the Bouncing Butterfly eco-village. She does and is
overjoyed to be accepted.<br /><br />Working so close to a man who fills
her every erotic daydream is a bit more than Francesca can take at
first, so she tries to avoid Callan. He won't cooperate—and soon they
are in each other's arms and in Callan's bed. Their summer lovin' is
approved of by all, but Francesca doesn't want to become a permanent
villager simply because she’s Callan's partner. She wants to be invited
to live there on her own terms. Besides, her parents and her boss are
waiting back in the city for her to return and take up her former
existence. Can Francesca have it all—a lover, a career, and most
importantly, what money can't buy?</span></b><br />

avoid being drafted by Agent Elliot Johnson into a mysterious
government agency, lovers Penny and Wolf use the silver coffin to return
to Eden and shapeshift into wolves. They hole up in a cave where Penny
experiences an out-of-body lovemaking session with Elliot—who turns out
not to be such a bad guy after all. He has a thing for Wolf as well.<br /><br />The
three enjoy their group sexual encounters and shapeshifting in the
beautiful primordial world, but something familiar about the dying red
star above makes them believe there’s more to Eden than meets the eye.
Will their unseen hosts make their presence known at last? </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></b></span></span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"Celine has a gift for pulling a reader into her worlds. This
contemporary love story is no exception. The main story centers on an
attraction that can't be denied, between Jaynie, the office lead, and
Bryce, the new token male of the group. Office antics and competitive
bets among seven women, co-workers and friends, add a fun and exciting
backstory. <i>The New Guy</i> is the first in the trilogy Seven for Seduction, a
true serial series. I recommend this book, and the series, with a
smile." ~ Editor</span></span></b><br />

Davison finds himself stuffed with homemade goodies, herbal cures, and
attempts to sign him up to play a sport he despises. The only sane
person in the all-female office is his aloof yet sexy cube neighbor,
Jaynie Baker, and he can't seem to fight his attraction to her.</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
Jaynie has had enough of men. Left at the altar, there’s no way she’ll
take her coworkers up on their wild bet to see who can seduce the
mysterious Bryce first. Let the others go for it—she’ll take no part of
that bet. Strangely enough, it's Jaynie’s leaving Bryce alone that turns
him on the most and increases their mutual attraction.</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Can
Jaynie win the heart of the new guy? If she does, can she find out
what's really behind his distant demeanor to ensure a happily ever
after? Will a second chance at love be a winning hand for them both?</span></span></b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bryce caught her by the hand and spun her back around. She
plopped butt first into his lap. He reached out and pushed the door shut with
his foot.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“I don’t judge by outward appearances,” he said in a low
whisper, his lips mere inches from her own, “but I can’t help but feel
attracted to a beautiful woman sitting less than two feet away from me day
after day. I’m human, you know. And a guy. We tend to think with the lower half
of our bodies at times, and you’ve really got my lower half going gaga. I’m
finding it hard to concentrate on my work because all I can think about when
you’re in here, with your cologne and your curves, is how delicious you’d look
after a long night’s lovemaking session.”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jaynie felt her breath catch. Did Bryce say what she thought
he said? Did he just tell her that he’d been secretly lusting after her all the
while she’d been lusting after him? Maybe Raheesha was right. Maybe it was time
for her to spill her guts and confess her attraction to him.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">What could it hurt? They were both adults. They both knew
how to keep a secret. Maybe if they acted on their libidinous impulses and got
them out of their systems, they’d both be able to concentrate better on their
work assignments in the future?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“Bryce…are you saying you’re attracted to me?”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“What do you think?” His lips danced along her temple as his
hands moved across her hips and cupped her butt cheeks.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">She took a shaky breath and closed her eyes. “I think you
are.” She took another breath for courage. “I’m attracted to you, too.”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">His feather-light kisses sent shivers coursing through her
frame. “Really?”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“We’ve got to keep this a secret. If it gets out, the whole
office will be buzzing about it. I don’t know what Mr. J would do.”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">He playfully nibbled on her earlobe and the curve of her
neck. “Probably nothing.”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">She moaned softly. “How can we be sure?”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“We can’t, but he didn’t get on all your cases when you all
were trying to seduce me before.”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jaynie’s eyes flew open. “Whatever do you mean?”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bryce laughed. “That first week or so after I arrived?
Remember? Everyone in the cube farm was going after me like I was the last
piece of meat on the planet and you all were a pack of starving carnivores.
Except you, now that I think about it. Why was that?”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“I… I was playing hard to get?”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The lie sounded weak—even to Jaynie’s ears. How could she
tell him it was because she felt attracted to him from the moment she'd laid
eyes on him? How could she tell him that she worked hard not to gain his
attention because of this very thing happening? How could she tell him that
she’d had her fill of <i>Mr. Right</i> after
the getting-left-at-the-altar affair? That she’d just wanted someone to hold
her, love her, and not use her for his own selfish purposes? Could Bryce’s
intentions mirror her own?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“Naughty girl." He gave a throaty chuckle. "You
wanted me to chase after you. Is that it? Is that’s why you’ve kept me in
suspense until now?”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“Uh-huh.” Jaynie sighed. Her hands roved across his strong,
broad shoulders and caressed his face. Her lips longed to be possessed by his.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“So…what do you do after you’re caught?” He smiled wickedly.</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">She shrugged. “Accept my punishment for trying to run away
like a good little girl?”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">He raised an eyebrow. “Good answer. You’re saying you’re up
for a little <i>playtime</i> after hours,
with no strings attached. Right?”</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">“Right.” Jaynie shifted her weight and brought her lips in
line with his. If a guy could enjoy unfettered, non-committed sex, then why
couldn’t she?</span></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Can a sexy, sleepwalking librarian corral a
commitment-shy sheriff during the mayhem of rodeo week? When Marianne
the Librarian sleepwalks into the brawny arms of handsome Sheriff Cody
Greene, sparks fly and an erotic night of pleasure ensues. Amazingly,
Marianne hasn't a clue that their rendezvous even happened.<br /><br />A
confirmed bachelor, Cody realizes Marianne isn't the "love 'em and leave
'em" type he's used to entertaining in bed, and he's worried. Will she
make him take a walk down the aisle if he confesses to his part of her
fantasies? Can't they just be friends with benefits? <br /><br />Will Cody be able to
tell Marianne the truth about his involvement in her sleepwalking
escapades? Will he and Marianne discover beyond their fantasies true love
prevails?</span></b></span></b><br />

commitment-shy sheriff during the mayhem of rodeo week? When Marianne
the Librarian sleepwalks into the brawny arms of handsome Sheriff Cody
Greene, sparks fly and an erotic night of pleasure ensues. Amazingly,
Marianne hasn't a clue that their rendezvous even happened.<br /><br />A
confirmed bachelor, Cody realizes Marianne isn't the "love 'em and leave
'em" type he's used to entertaining in bed, and he's worried. Will she
make him take a walk down the aisle if he confesses to his part of her
fantasies? Can't they just be friends with benefits? His young deputy,
Benny, seems to have found one in Phyleesha, but Benny's mother, Dulcie,
has other things to say about the big-city newcomer.<br /><br />For her
part, Marianne doesn't know if she should continue taking the herbal
"sleeping potion" her friend Dulcie gave her to deal with her recent
bout of insomnia. Marianne's erotic dreams make her lust after their
respectable county sheriff. Surely this is just a phase she's going
through a year after her husband was killed in an oil-rig accident. But
gorgeous Cody is definitely a temptation worth considering. Too bad his
ex, Jolene, is back in town for the rodeo.<br /><br />Will Cody be able to
tell Marianne the truth about his involvement in her sleepwalking
escapades? Will he survive the mysterious outbreak of cattle stampeding?
And will he and Marianne discover beyond their fantasies true love
prevails?</span></b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Suellen took a deep breath to steady her nerves. Hmm…Carlos
smelled of good honest sweat and soap and what all. She took another deep
breath. That was a big mistake. The aroma of his aftershave mixed with the warm
musk of a muscular male body made her head spin. </span></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
She could see him, feel him, smell him and, perhaps she
could even taste him. This was the most realistic hallucination she’d ever
experienced. What a way to come out of a hangover.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You work for Santa Claus and not a trucking company?” she
babbled.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Both. I started working for Santa a few years ago in
between driving jobs.” He chuckled. “His <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">big
little helper,</i> he likes to call me.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Suellen found her gaze wandering from Carlos’ bright grin to
the big bulge in his Speedo. “Uh-huh. So, tell me…How many other lonely women
have you <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">helped</i> this way for dear old
Santa?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He frowned as a cloud of hurt descended over his ebony eyes.
His hands gripped her shoulders tighter. “You’re the first. I promise. I
usually help Santa deliver gifts to illegal immigrants and others who hang out
in remote places. I also travel along the river on Christmas Eve and give out
gifts of food and blankets in the shanty towns.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What a wonderful thing, helping those less fortunate.” She
relaxed slightly, but she couldn’t block out the effects of his masculine
presence. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Glad you approve and don’t think I’m a stalker.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No, of <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">course</span> you
aren’t, and I didn’t mean to doubt you.” Suellen took a deep breath and
regretted it. His spicy cologne scent possessed the same mind-numbing effect as
the little hobo’s whiskey. “It’s just I’m usually not such a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">naughty girl</i>. I mean, I’ve been on
Santa’s good <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">girl's</span> list for years—so
he’s told me.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Carlos smiled. “Yes, he told me. It’s why he didn’t want you
to be alone anymore.” </div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>After an asteroid collides with his spaceship, killing all
others on board, astronaut Frank Rimmer cryogenically freezes himself to await
rescue. When Frank wakes up, he's greeted by a pair of rescuers resembling
pin-up girls from his crewmate's calendar. The girls who rescue him are aliens
who can project images into Frank's mind and appear as he would like to see
them. Sister-clones Mahla and Shahla tell him they sincerely want to learn more
about human beings and their mating rituals. They study "unofficial
files" onboard and ask Frank for his help in understanding human
sexuality. Can Frank help these two gorgeous angels experience an erotic
cultural awakening?</b></span></span></div>

breath and steadied himself. Shahla raised her arms and allowed him to slide
the silky nightgown up and over her magnificent curves. Mahla turned to him and

on his body’s wayward responses. “Uh, no, that’s not necessary, ladies. Let’s
hop in before the water cools.”</span></div>

The Alliance of Peaceful Planets is desperate to make a good impression on its newest potential members, the Magnens of Magnus Prime. The High Commissioner tells Cherae her open-mindedness is an asset in this delicate situation, but it isn't until she and her team of young and sexually inquisitive aides view the first contact video does the truth of this statement hit home. The Magnens expect their allies to partake in their customary mass orgy in order to seal the deal on Alliance membership.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Change</span></b></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">by Celine Chatillon</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On a cold, dark night, you look in the mirror and notice the first small signs of the change beginning.<br /><br />"Oh, no... Not tonight. My cycle is off. I was suppose to go to that business dinner and do my best to impress our new potential client. My fur and claws will throw him off. The boss will kill me!"</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />The dress you picked out earlier in the week won't do. It shows way too much décolletage. While you're quite proud of your perky and ample breasts, once the change begins and you become fully lynx-like, the client would probably freak at having cocktails with a catwoman.<br /><br />"Damn. I was going to do a slow seduction and get him to sign on the dotted line by the end of the evening, making my escape before he got any ideas. Unless he's a hottie... If and only then if he turns out to be sexy, charming and willing was I going to even consider screwing his brains out. I think we're going to have to skip the drinks and dinner and just get to the screwing and his signing on the dotted line. He might not notice my tail until after he's enjoyed some tail."<br /><br />You laugh. There are some advantages to being a were-cat. You get super horny at the drop of a hat, and you don't mind acting like an alley cat with any handsome, red-blooded male who's willing do the horizontal tango. If only you knew what the guy looked like.<br /><br />As you walk into the upscale hotel saloon, you shift your briefcase to your other hand in order to smooth down the start of your tail starting to form under your skirt above your nicely rounded ass. Where was this client suppose to meet you? Oh, yeah, under the clock at the end of the bar. There's a suit sitting there sipping a bourbon. His face is turned away from you until you take a step closer. He turns around. You stop and stare.<br /><br />Is that him? <i>Oh, he's absolutely gorgeous! </i>What a mischievous glint he has in his eye, too. You take another step closer, and he rises to meet you with a gracious nod and a smile. <i>Hmm...this could turn out be quite a fun and successful evening after all.</i></span></b><br />

agreeing to accompany Reg to his home world. Once there, they meet the
dark and handsome voyeur Lord Talbit who lusts after free-spirited Earth

discover a fantasy world with a life all its own?</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Keeping his gaze fixed firmly on her, Prince Reglund pulled
himself to his knees, unfastened his sword belt, and lifted the flap of his

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jenna’s hands flew to her warming cheeks. She gasped. “Oh,
my. You’re much more <i>manly</i> than I’ve fantasized, and I can be very

“All right. First, like any good Galactic Guerilla, I will
attempt to disarm your weapon.”</div>

Jenna approached and slowly untied the leather cords resting
on his slim hips. The small scrap of leather fell away, fully exposing the
glistening head of his engorged, crimson cock. She licked dry lips. “Why do I
suddenly feel like I’m eye-to-eye with the man-eating dragon beast of episode
sixty-nine?” </div>

“Perhaps you are.” Reg’s resonant chuckle detonated a
mini-explosion of desire deep in her pussy. He positioned his rod closer to
her. “Will you vanquish your foe with your creative talent? Or will you allow
it to enter your cave of wonders, my beautiful maiden?”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

“Hmm, good questions. How about a little of both?”</div>

Jenna knelt at the edge of the bed and eased his length into
her mouth. Her tongue thrilled at the taste of him, the virile, musky tang of a
man who could swing a sword with one arm while carrying off a willing female
captive to pleasure over and over again in his other. She cupped his balls
gently and sucked his remaining inches into the back of her throat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
He groaned and leaned toward her. “Oh, the dragon is
practically slayed, fair one. Allow me to explore your delights before I can no
longer contain my enthusiasm.”</div>

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Lelia
thought living and working alone on an asteroid was an ideal job. Far from the
maddening crowds, she values her peace and quiet, but soon she finds she longs
for company of an amorous kind. Following a tip from a fellow asteroid miner,
she acquires a holographic lover based on the man of her dreams, her friendly
postman who visits briefly every two weeks. When postman Del makes an
unexpected visit and catches Lelia fooling around with his doppelganger, the
fun really begins. Can Lelia handle two Dels at one time? (m/f/m, m/f)</span></span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Penny's expedition goes pear-shaped, but her wilderness guide, Wolf, turns out to be a handsome shape-shifter with an animal magnetism she can't resist.<br /><br />It's bad enough the entire archeology community thinks they're "crackpots," but after her professor suffers a medical emergency, Penny Redfern finds herself alone at the dig with their handsome wilderness guide. Suddenly she has a lot more on her mind than searching for a suspected Viking longship in the Far North of Alaska. Wolf Weiss can't help but lust after the gorgeous Penny, but his sense of professionalism keeps him politely distant. Plus, it's a full moon, that time of the month for Wolf to howl with the pack. Not even the midnight sun will halt his urge to shift. He can't let Penny find out he's a shape-shifter—or can he? Will the free-spirited Penny find Wolf's animal magnetism too strong to resist?</b></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The satellite imagery showed something boat-shaped located
along this shoreline, but it couldn't possibly be an intact Viking sea vessel
after all this <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">time</span> if it had been
exposed to the elements. There was no way anyone could have buried a ship that
size in the <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">permafrost</span> since it was just
too tough to do so even in the perpetually sunny skies of July in the North.
Had it been trapped in an iceberg all these centuries, only to be released from
its icy prison in the recent climate warming trend? Just the thought of Viking
explorers making it through the Northwest Passage and reaching the coast of
Alaska would bring her the fame and attention she craved as an archeologist.</span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Penny quickly unbraided her hair and pulled a brush through
its thick mass to clear it of some of the worst of the dust and flying debris.
What she wouldn't do for a nice hot shower instead of a bath with some lukewarm
water and a camp basin wash cloth. The sooner they finished surveying the area
for artifacts and other signs of possible Viking activity, the sooner she could
go back home to civilization as she knew it. </span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before the paramedics landed, Bev had admonished her,

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It sounded simple enough, but something about the dark-eyed,
introverted outdoorsman made her nervous. Not nervous exactly, but curious. He
wasn't much older than her, she realized, but the striking silver streaks in
his black beard and at his temples indicated he'd lived a stressful life or his
heredity was a bit different from most. Wolf Weiss--white wolf? The translation
of his name sounded like some of her Lakota cousins' names on her mother's
side.</span></b></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She had to admit, Wolf possessed something other males of
her acquaintance lacked, a sort of <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">animal</span>magnetism that had attracted her from their first meeting. While Dave was the
more outspoken of the two, openly joking with her like her kid brother, Wolf
had kept his distance and minded his manners. If anything, he was too damn
polite. That made her nervous. How could anyone who lived in the wilderness
have such refined manners? She supposed he hadn't always lived and worked in
Alaska, but along with his good looks, self-assurance and few words, his mere
presence intrigued her. </span></b></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Better yet, he didn't wear a ring or talk about a lover back
in Fairbanks or Nome or elsewhere. Penny had had enough of those two-timing
types.</span></b></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She wanted to know more about Wolf, but she dared not. They
were both professionals. It wouldn't be professional of her to flirt with him,
would it? But with the climatologists, Dave and Bev all departed, who would
know they'd lapsed in their professionalism if they both kept quiet?</span></b></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Penny put down her hairbrush and pulled off her hoodie, <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">t-shirt,</span> and bra. She soaked the washcloth in
the basin and wrung it out and gave her upper torso a quick wash, taking care
around her tender nipples. She was halfway through her cycle, and she knew what
was happening—she was feeling extra horny because of ovulation. Any halfway
decent-looking male would make her want to jump his bones and avail herself of
his hard cock. </span></b></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Penny realized she should be ashamed of herself, thinking of
enjoying wild sex with their guide while her college advisor was deathly ill
and on her way to the hospital, but she couldn't help her hormones. Poor Wolf
was the only man around for miles. Her mind couldn't help spinning erotic
fantasies about the shy guy. How would those whiskers feel rubbing against her
skin? Would they tickle, or torment her with stimulation? </span></b></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She dropped her jeans and wriggled out of her panties.
Wetting the washcloth, she washed her legs and backside, slowing down as she
approached her pubic area. Hmm…a little stimulation from her own hand felt
good, and it would relieve the tension of being alone with the macho mountain
man of few words for a few days. Penny stretched out across her camp bed and
began to stroke her clit, slowly at first and then faster and harder. She
tweaked her nipples with her other hand and arched her back into the rhythm of
her strokes as she climaxed in a gasp of pleasure.</span></b></div>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Relaxing for what seemed the first time in weeks, she
stretched and yawned. "There are some advantages to having the yurt all to
myself, after all." With that thought, she fell asleep.</span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Doctor As Show Man and Space 1889 Cosplayer</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">(Spoiler Alert!) </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's been a busy two weeks, so when I finally sat down to catch up with <i>Doctor Who</i>, I had two episodes to watch. The first episode, <i>The Lie of the Land</i>, is actually part three of the two previous episodes which I found to be mediocre as best. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Was I expecting anything better for this storyline's finale? No, not really. <i>The Lie of the Land</i> didn't disappoint on that respect. It was mediocre in script and well-done in acting and execution. Bill is still a strong, sympathetic character willing to lay down her life to save others, Nardole is still a loyal <i>aide-de-camp </i>willing to go the extra mile to help out, and the Doctor is... Well, he's a show man of sorts, selling the evil monks' "new history" to the unsuspecting public through slick commercials. Why the evil monks ever go to the extent they do to take over the world is never satisfactorily explained, including the gigantic statues of their mummy-like visages. They should have taken a lesson from the Daleks and Cybermen. Good ol' fashioned firepower and metal suits work just fine to invade Earth in <i>Doctor Who</i>.</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Missy is seen once again in <i>The Lie</i>,
but her cameo doesn't seem particularly necessary to the plot, as the
Doctor should be able to figure things out himself with his abilities
and resources. She's incarcerated in a TARDIS-styled vault and seems
content to be locked up. There's hints she's not as
sociopathic/psychopathic as she once was, but she's still not portrayed
as a positive middle-aged female image, but rather as a figure of
ridicule/hate. Actress Michelle Gomez could do better and deserves a
stronger role.</span></b></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></b> </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Orwellian overtones of "He who owns the past owns the future" are good in <i>The Lie,</i> but the overall arc of the trilogy of episodes isn't quite pulled off. A good script editor could have helped cobble these three disparate episodes together in a more coherent and effective manner and brought out the strengths in each. As is... nice try, but it's very sad how this trilogy falls flat. At least Bill has a decent hairstyle this time out, and I enjoyed the "Maoist China" style of bland/uni-colored clothing of the populace as well as the Doctor's "worn" jacket.</span></b><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Empress of Mars </i>is a stronger episode in that it doesn't try to be anything it isn't. The Doctor meets his old foes, the Ice Warriors. They've been updated a bit without losing their lovable "monster of the week" look about them that they've sported since the Patrick Troughton era. My husband was pleased to see the Victorian-era military men on an expedition on Mars, very reminiscent of the characters one takes on in the role playing game <i>Space 1889</i>. (The military costuming was accurate historically according to hubby who is an expert on such things, too.)</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Why there is oxygen underground on Mars is never explained, especially since the surface is dead and there's no obvious plant life left. The frozen/hibernating Ice Warriors are very similar to the Patrick Troughton series Cybermen who were hibernating on Mondas in a pyramid-like set-up. </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hmm... Pyramids and spacesuits seem to be returning images in this season, as the Doctor and Bill have been seen in spacesuits in <i>Empress of Mars</i>, <i>Oxygen</i> and in underwater diving suits in <i>Thin Ice</i>. The evil monks have a spacecraft (I assume that's what it is since it "flies") that's pyramid-shaped in <i>Nemesis</i>, <i>The Pyramid at the End of the World</i>, and <i>The Lie of the Land</i>. Is there some kind of connection we're suppose to make with the reoccurring imagery? I have to say, Peter looks great in a form-hugging spacesuit. I hope the hoodie look has been put to rest for good.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With only a few more episodes to go in Peter Capaldi's last year as the Doctor, fingers crossed we get another Mark Gatiss-written story.

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now onto the quickie review of the opening episode, <i>The Pilot</i>. I must say Peter Capaldi is looking great and seems very relaxed in the role of the Doctor. His hiding out at a university and teaching physics seems up the Doctor's alley, and it gave me a flashback to the partially filmed Douglas Adams' story, <i>Shada</i>, where the Doctor met an old friend who was hanging out as a professor at an English university. The TARDIS in the corner of his well-appointed office fits the decor perfectly.</span></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The reasons why the Doctor has settled down for a spell to teach--and why the alien Nardole is still with him--aren't given, but I'm willing to give it a pass for now. The university professor situation is intriguing, and the young woman he meets and encourages to study science is intriguing as well. "Bill" isn't your typical college co-ed, as she's not officially a student, and yet she's bright and eager to learn. (After seeing say some rather dumb lines in the trailers, I wasn't sure if I would like her, but she's much more intelligent than those short blurbs indicate. Whew!) About the only criticism I have of Bill after the first story is her horrible taste in clothing and unkempt hairstyle. Nothing she wears is flattering for her body type, in my opinion. I hope the costume and makeup department get to work on improving her look.</span></b></div>

</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We learn in snippets that Bill (Pearl Mackie) is a foster child and never knew her mother. She's a sympathetic character and seems to have the ambition to make something of herself despite her poor circumstances. The Doctor and Nardole (Matt Lucas) seem to be protecting a "vault" in the basement of the building where the Doctor's office is located, but for what reason and from whom are still a mystery. The opening story isn't overly complicated, but it flows at a good pace and introduces Bill and the audience to the TARDIS and the idea that the Doctor is much more than meets the eye. This is always a good way to restart a series after it's been in hiatus for a while.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm looking forward to episode two, and hopeful Moffat doesn't derail the more positive and helpful Doctor to bring back his morose persona of the past seasons. Peter Capaldi announced this will be his last year to play the Doctor, and I'd rather he go out on a high note than a low one, wouldn't you? Fingers crossed!</span></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i>Sherlock</i>: This is<i> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">T</span>he End</i>?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>(Caution: Spoilers) </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>I thought I'd write a quick review of <i>Sherlock: The Final Problem</i> since my <i>Doctor Who</i> reviews get quite a few reads. I have enjoyed this mystery series loosely based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories over all, but this last (and it seems to be the <i>very</i> last) episode was quite a let down on many levels.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>I realize that the leads, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, are very busy actors and very much in demand these days, but it's not that <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">fact wh<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ich</span></span> was a let down for me. It was the fact that, since this was probably the very last episode for the duo as Holmes and Watson, it should have been of higher quality to match their terrific performances over the years.</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>What to really say about <i>The Final Problem</i>? It was simply... a problem for me. It didn't come across as a mystery worthy of the great detective, but a gimmicky, cheap shot at trying to hook an audience with gratuitous violence and silliness. Previous episodes were based on the classic Sherlock Holmes short stories or novellas, and they seemed to work fine with their 21st century twists. This time, there was none of the charm of Conan Doyle's original characters coming through in the writing. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Inst<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ead, w</span></span>e were presented with the portrait of an adult female with mental illness that was less than flattering. Somehow she is Sherlock's older sister that he never knew he had, which, of course, is not canon. Misogynistic portrayals of women characters is a<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span>problem area for producer/co-writer Steven Moffat. It has been written about by yours truly (see my <i>Doctor Who</i> reviews from a year or so back) as well several <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">other </span>feminists. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Why Mr. Moffat comes across as "tone deaf" when it comes to writing female characters is a mystery in itself, but it is a consistent problem he <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">has </span>in most of his scripts. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">views w</span></span>omen a<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">s</span> objects to be used to further plots, but they have few, if any, <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">positive</span> characteristics. Psychopathic and <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">sadistic</span> Euros is <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">the winner of </span> "The <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Universe's </span>Worst Woman of All Times Award." She has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. (Correction: My husba<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">nd reminded me Euros is an excellent violin play<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">er. She does h<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ave one redeeming quality.)</span></span></span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Other female characters <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">are<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">n't <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">depicted</span> much better in this script. </span>P</span>oor Molly, who has had a crush on Sherlock all these years, is shamed by Euros's trickery and made to feel bad about her love for <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sherlock. H<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">e, in<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> turn, is ashamed of his</span></span> affection t<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">owards her</span></span>. How "unromantic" and "un-gallant" is that?</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Shooting<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> and </span>drowning unarmed and tied-up hostages is Euros's idea of fun. She's supposed to be related by blood to Sherlock<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">, </span>Mycroft and their seemingly very gentle parents? (I guess the violin playing <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">abilit<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">y</span></span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">demonstrates the shared genetics?) </span> If we had never met Sherlock's parents before in a Christmas story and seen them as "human," maybe we could have believed they spawned a she-demon in Euros. But we have seen the<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ir parents</span>, and they came across as "normal." So, there's no real satisfactory explanation of how Euros's psychosis came about and why Sherlock and Mycroft are not also insane. </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Five year olds don't usually become "The Bad Seed" all on their own. It takes quite a lot to drive any person to those types of behaviors. Children who are physically, mentally and sexually abused over and over again can suffer a mental break down and act out violently. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Are</span> Moffat and Gatiss in their <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">co-authored tale</span> implying all three of the Holmes children had a horrific and abusive childhood?</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Yes, it's a real let down of a story. <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To be fair, </span>I'm looking at it as a professional writer and a person with a psychology degree and some knowledge of what abuse can do to the individual<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">. But <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">honestly, t</span></span>here was nothing particularly uplifting, redeeming or even <i>accurate</i> in any of the character portrayals as written. Th<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">is</span> lack of logic in the story wasn't enjoyable.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As we enter the holiday season, let me be the first person to wish you all a very happy holiday season--whichever one(s) you celebrate. For Americans, most of us celebrate Thanksgiving in November and a holiday or two in December and New Year's Eve. So, please consider yourself "greeted" by yours truly. (If you like, you can return the holiday greetings in the comments below.)</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wanted to make this holiday greeting announcement fairly early on in the season so that what I'm about to say next wouldn't come as a shock to you: I've decided not to send any Christmas cards this year. Don't worry--I will give gifts to close relatives, and I will decorate my tree and house as usual. I'm not going to be a total "Scrooge." The reason why I'm not sending out holiday cards is to make a statement: Not everyone is going to experience a "Happy Holiday!" this year. I feel that the money I spend on postage and cards could be better put to use helping others have a happier, safer and more just 2017, so I plan on doing just that.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Instead of mailing out hollow words of joy to friends and family, I will use those funds to help out the people of Standing Rock and elsewhere who are in need. If you feel inclined to help others in need this season instead of mailing cards and letters to the names on your Christmas list, please feel encouraged to do so. I won't feel slighted in the least if I don't receive a card from you. In fact, I'll feel very happy and proud to call you my friend for putting the needs of those suffering injustices--such as the water protectors of Standing Rock who strive to protect our precious land, sky and water--ahead of my feelings.</span></b><br />

Standing Rock in lieu of sending Christmas cards this year. I've always
wanted to build a straw bale home, so I'm glad to support Honor the
Earth as they build a community hall for the Oceti Sakowin encampments.
Check it out, and if you feel motivated, donate a little something
toward their goal of $75K (they're about halfway there). They will be
hosting a Thanksgiving dinner there in a few days. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fhonorearth.nationbuilder.com%2Fmakagioti&h=sAQFi6PQUAQHO1PdhUQ1hkOVEXr642PUvBaY45aZ2v61BCA&enc=AZOjyz_60-LHpEYPCao6_MV4yCiu8reYHf7_eOadcI33BD7DD9P78jRM1vGwyZK6SKFRBmH-93B3KDPGKQqzUJ1-4MiOQJP8O_DHiEb9G_i4vl0Z-Fzrh-qdmkUgKDkzbSINvp3YTCFWhR9wDH7KXj2QEvO10T-Xv6spQpRvVwg24bFhBJeBTp0Si6QBvqieaq0&s=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://honorearth.nationbuilder.com/makagioti</a></span></b> <br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28090852-the-last-woman-standing">The Last Woman Standing</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2772429.Thelma_Adams">Thelma Adams</a></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1724597517">2 of 5 stars</a></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Young Josephine Marcus runs away from her stifling home life in 1880’s San Francisco to marry Johnny Behan, a charming older man who’s aiming to become the sheriff of Tombstone, Arizona. But once Josephine finds herself in the booming silver mining and cattle baron town she realizes Johnny wants her to act as a governess to his young son and keep his bed warm without benefit of matrimony. After she catches Johnny in bed with another woman, she admits to herself that she can no longer keep up the charade of caring for him and lying to her conservative Jewish family back home that he’s going to make an honest woman out of her one day. She walks out. But how can a disgraced woman make a living in a boom town which doesn’t involve selling her body?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Luckily for Josephine, the handsome sharpshooter Wyatt Earp has taken a shine to her since the day she stepped off the stage coach. A competitor for the same position as Johnny, Wyatt and his brothers have all been discriminated against by the ex-Confederates in the territory. They don’t care for the Earp brothers’ Lincoln Republican leanings and want to exploit Tombstone any way they see fit. As Wyatt’s kept woman, Josephine experiences the aftermath of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and the false testimony of the traitorous Johnny Behan, which places the Earp brothers in jail and endangers their lives by vigilante action. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b><i>The Last Woman Standing</i> is primarily a historical novel with a little added romance. The in-depth details of life in 1880s Arizona and the larger-than-life characters who dwelled in the infamous town will appeal to readers of Westerns and women’s historical fiction alike, if they can handle the slow pacing and large information dumps given at the expense of the actual story.</b></span><br />

<b>My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1645750081">4 of 5 stars</a></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A book of letters? Why would I want to read someone's mail? Hey, it's much more fascinating and revealing that you'd first believe. As a big Laura Ingalls Wilder fan (since childhood), I was enthralled to learn details of her life "behind the fiction" and how her daughter, journalist Rose Wilder Lane, was perhaps the undisclosed ghostwriter of her classic children's literature. Recommended for all Laura fans and others who are interested in seeing the process behind a writer's goal of creating a book series to preserve American history.

<b>My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1617973165">4 of 5 stars</a></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A life spent questioning one’s self-worth, one’s faith, one’s sanity is not a life worth living. In the coming out memoir, <i>Boy Erased</i>, Garrard Conley boldly shares his inner and outer struggles of dealing with his homosexuality, his fundamentalist upbringing in Arkansas, and his parents’ expectations of him becoming the perfect son.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Young Garrard realizes that he’s different from other boys-- he likes to look at men in a different way than others--but his family’s strict Missionary Baptist religion prohibits such sinful thoughts, let alone actions. To make matters worse, his father begins a second career as a preacher, and to openly confess his gay nature would destroy his family’s good name in the church. Going off to college to study English literature, Garrard is haunted by his feelings and finds himself in a difficult situation when he is raped by another student who then turns around and tells on him to his family. The rapist claims it is all Garrard’s fault, and so as a victim he is further persecuted and questioned. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Garrard’s parents fear for his immortal soul and enroll him into an “ex-gay” program, Love In Action, a place that is anything but loving. There he is subjected to amateur brainwashing techniques in the guise of a twelve step addiction program. If he will only take the first step and admit he is wrong and admit he is “addicted to being gay”, then he will be “cured” according to LIA. But Garrard eventually sees through the doublespeak and self-loathing his ex-gay instructors try to instill in their clients. He realizes somewhere deep down that God would not have made him gay to lead him into self-destruction and despair. He knows his parents love him and will come to accept him, and so he walks out.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><i>Boy Erased</i> is a poignant story that will touch many who struggle with being “different” and who question their existence in the face of prejudice and ignorance.</b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It’s not the style--it’s the
substance. It’s the sincerity of his message. It’s that warm, empowering
feeling of hope you feel whenever you hear Bernie Sanders speak. You sense his
compassion for others whenever you listen to him. It makes no difference if you
hear him in person at a “yuge” rally or streaming online from an
alternative media source (since mainstream media has ignored him). All that
matters is the message is directed at <i>you</i>,
an ordinary American voter, and not at some billionaire corporate lobbyist or
super PAC contributor. </span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bernie Sanders doesn’t have a super
PAC or even want a super PAC. He has been funded since day one of his run for
office by us, ordinary Americans. His average campaign donation? Bernie brags
at his rallies it’s “twenty-seven bucks!” We all laugh and applaud. The fact
that he’s raised so much from so many through small donations demonstrates the
affection millions of ordinary people have for Bernie. (We gave him $43 million
in March alone.)We like him so much that we call him by his first name, and
Bernie is cool with it. </span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Millennials definitely think
he’s cool. They design t-shirts with his face and slogans and tattoo their
bodies with his icon. This will never cease to amaze me since their generation
has been put through the grinder by the Baby Boomers’ selfishness and
carelessness. Our kids inherit a polluted, climate-changed planet, and they’re
desperate for the hope Bernie’s “A Future to Believe In” platform
provides. But it’s not just about the excitement of the rally and the thousands
upon thousands cheering on Bernie in large university arenas that provides
hope; it’s the man himself. Young and
old alike connect with Bernie because he gives us the truth, straight up and
unvarnished, and then he tells us how <i>together</i>
we’ll make changes for the better and revive democracy in our great nation. </span></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">“Not Me Us” is one of Bernie’s
trending hashtags online, and it sums up his philosophy well. Together we are
strong and caring. Together we can save our world. Together we can work to
build a brighter future for all Americans and not just the handful who’ve been
dipping their hands in the cookie jar and hoarding all the cookies for too
long. Together we have hope.</span></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our champion doesn’t come riding in
on a white stallion--or even in a white luxury sedan--but he comes to talk to
us in person and humbly asks for our support. We welcome him to our backyard
barbecues with smiles and a cold beer. Folks who donate an average of $27 to a
candidate can’t afford $353,400 tickets to fancy soirees with champagne and
caviar and movie stars. We know we can’t afford to elect candidates who only
want fame, power and more money for themselves, either. Fortunately, we have
Bernie Sanders, a public servant who has served working Americans well through
his long and distinguished career. </span></b></span></div>
