We are a people of stories. We use them to entertain, to teach, and to instruct. Sometimes they warn us of the dangers of wandering too far into the woods, or they can be a detailed story to explain how magnificent landscapes came to be.

Empty Nest is hard enough to go through, but when there is no one who understands what you feel, it is harder. When everyone around you is either negative about the experience or tells you that you are being silly or you should be happy, they don't understand. It is especially hard when no one has been "Mom," but you. Great Grandma understands. This book was created out of a need for an older, more experienced woman to share her viewpoint of this pivotal transition in life.

When a fellow Kinswoman becomes pregnant and is brutalized under Kin rule, Kenji has to make a choice: stay silent, or become what he fears. Kill for the Kin. Lie for them.

Tired of starting habits that never stick? You're not failing—your system is broken. Most habit books teach willpower. This one doesn't. It teaches how to design your life so habits become automatic.

What has been missing from the daring tales of fairy tale heroes is quite simply some heft. In Burly Tales, Lambda Literary Award-winning editor Steve Berman has gathered a dozen stories of whimsy and romance that feature gay men with plenty of curves and fur.

He'd done the unthinkable. He went squealing to the newspapers accusing a prominent police lieutenant of graft and extortion. The story is a sensation. Now Herman is dead and Lieutenant Charles Becker is in the frame. ...
