Unique New Release Is Both Literary Fiction And Musical Concept Album Combined
Description: David Houston wanted to take readers from what a book is, to what a book can be and the result is his unique new release, Fugue, a work of literary fiction coupled with a downloadable six track, musical concept album. Fugue blends dystopian, romantic, and suspense elements within a plot-driven narrative that spans thirty years of time and moves across four continents, unfolding primarily in New York City, Seville, and Afghanistan and is carried by three main, beautifully-created and unforgettable characters who face a dramatic, life-changing event around the age of eighteen, setting them upon a path that irrevocably intertwines their story and romantic involvement – for better and for worse. The plot then shifts in a dystopian direction halfway through the story after terrorist attacks redefine the geopolitical landscape of not only the United States, but the entire world. The music, which accompanies the book, is extremely diverse, ranging from rock to classical to metal to singer/songwriter. It was designed to include three vocalists to personify the three characters, along with acoustic and electric guitars, piano, cello, bass and drums. His lyrics, both original and adaptations of famous poems, always relate to the central themes expressed in the book.

"The Boogie Trapp" - A Novel By Kerry Copeland Smith
Description: The Boogie Trapp is the story of two young boys—Charles Edward "Trapper" Trapp and the aptly-nicknamed, born-under-a-bad-sign Boogie Smith, the novel's narrator—and that day, decades ago, when time almost stopped for the boys. When the novel opens, it's over a half century later and time finally has stopped—at least for one. Protagonist and narrator Smith, now 72, recounts the day he receives word that his old friend Trapper has passed away. But there is more—far more—than simply grieving the loss of his friend. Weeks later, just as he knew he would, Smith receives a letter from Trapper reminding him to complete what Trapper calls "the last and most important mission" of his life. Completing that mission means rewinding to April 1949 in Black Creek, Alabama, a small coal mining town just north of Birmingham. Like most of the mining towns of its day, Black Creek has long since vanished, but a dark memory remains. And what follows is the story of that day, April 9, 1949. The day when everything changed. A mesmerizing and chilling debut, The Boogie Trapp will grab readers on the first page and not let go.

Can A Person Be Both LGBT And Religious?
Description: Rizi Xavier Timane has a message for the world and for the LGBT community in particular, "God loves you just the way you are." For centuries, misguided individuals and entire societies have used religious texts to condemn and persecute minorities and anyone perceived as "different," and as a transgendered minister and a person of color, Dr. Timane has experienced such discrimination and hatred firsthand. In An Uncommon Compromise: A Spiritual Guide for LGBT People of Faith, he shares the struggles he's gone through since childhood to find his own identity and his place in the world—especially in his parents' strict Christian religion. "Many LGBT persons want to know God and have some form of spirituality but they have been discouraged by religious abuse. This is wrong, unfortunate and usually based on biblical misinterpretation. It is important for the LGBT community to know that there exists a spiritual path for them in which God loves ALL people regardless of gender or sexual identity," says Timane. What he's found and what he shares in this book is that one person can change the world by telling people the truth about God's unconditional love for us all. "It all begins with loving yourself just as you are. That is God's way, and it can be, it must be ours as well," Dr. Timane adds.

The headless body of a conductor is discovered inside the locked cab of a Number 6 train in lower Manhattan. Authorities blame these, as well as several other equally macabre crimes, on the city's growing, and increasingly aggressive homeless population. Melissa Manning, however, isn't buying that explanation. Having experienced a personal tragedy in the subway years ago, Melissa is definitely no stranger to the violence that can occur underground...but this is different. Not only can she feel the presence of an evil entity...she knows it's just a matter of time before it comes after her.

From surviving protection rackets at the age of five, violent anti-Semitism, and brutal gang wars, Rumble in Brooklyn goes straight into East New York to depict the street-fighting childhood of New York Times acclaimed crime writer Joseph Trigoboff.

Lori Duron's Poignant, Heartbreaking, And Laugh-out-loud Funny Memoir Raising My Rainbow
Description: Lori Duron's Raising My Rainbow: Adventures in Raising a Fabulous, Gender Creative Son (Broadway Books; September 3, 2013), based on her incredibly popular blog of the same name and featuring a foreword by Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, is the first memoir written by a mother that chronicles the daily joys, struggles, and sometimes embarrassments of raising a gender-creative child. Once it became clear that her little boy was happier shopping in the pink aisles of the toy store and preferred Snow White to Superman for his Halloween costume, Lori decided she and her husband needed to shift their parenting perspective—and also needed help figuring out how to encourage their little boy who liked girl things to stay true to himself, all while protecting him from a world that isn't comfortable challenging gender norms. In Raising My Rainbow, Lori offers a heartfelt and beautifully rendered memoir as well as an important look into the more serious issues that come with parenting a gender-creative child, including understanding the differences between sex, gender, and sexuality, and how society's interpretation of gender norms (from the toys we give our children to the colors we think they should be attracted to) affected her and her husband's parenting decisions.
