Book Review: Lost Grove (Part 1)

A poignant collection depicting the shared human experience of ill health and old age. The people who work in healthcare settings are witness to daily crises, illness, and trauma.

Book Review: KOLCHAK: HAUNTED & HUNTED

By turns heartfelt, raging, and sagacious—an intensely personal collection that calls out the hypocrisies of modern society while moving toward a state of acceptance. A powerful Author’s Note introduces this collection, describing how it was forged out of a clash between religiosity, homosexuality, and the deep bigotries that inhabit the church. Through this lens, the entire collection becomes a call to stand by one’s convictions and a searing statement of purpose.
