Book Description
A debut book from Entertainment Weekly writer and former Out magazine editor Lester Fabian Brathwaite, Rage is a darkly comedic exploration of Blackness, queerness, and the American Dream, at a time when creative anger feels like the best response to inequality. One romantic hopeful had greeted Lester Fabian Brathwaite on a dating app with this gem: “You into race play?” Being young, queer, gifted, and Black, Lester has found that his best tool for navigating American life is gallows humor. If you don’t laugh, you cry—or, you summon your inner rage. With biting wit, Lester’s book Rage interrogates all the ways that systemic racism and homophobia have shaped our society. All to pose that proverbial question: Can a gurl live? Rage is one part memoir, one part cultural critique, one part live grenade. He contrasts his tragic-comedic love life with the ideals he had formed from bingeing (straight, white) Hollywood depictions. And he is quick to side-eye the misogyny and internalized homophobia that some people reveal in statements like “masc for masc” on dating profiles. Lester also dives deep into representations of queer life from RuPaul’s Drag Race to The Birdcage (Robin Williams was a snack in Versace), and explores our cultural understanding of Black genius through stories of James Baldwin, Whitney Houston, and Nina Simone. Lester’s razor-sharp voice, coupled with his searing social commentary on topics such as dating, rejection, racism, sexuality, identity, and more, offer an increasingly divided world an engaging and original read.

Abbie Collins has lived her entire life in the small town of Watford, Washington. Five years ago, she had plans to marry her high school sweetheart and inherit her family’s business. Then her mother died of cancer, and the love of her life left town without a trace. When the town council asks for her help with putting on a summer festival to revitalize the local economy, Abbie jumps at the chance to put Watford back on the map. Connor Harvey only has one regret: leaving the woman he swore he would love forever. He joined the military to run from his own demons and escape a past he’s unwilling to face. Having returned to Washington State after retiring from active duty, he now works at Winding Road Recovery with his best friends, a non-profit focused on getting veterans the help they need. The chance for Winding Road to sponsor a local event forces him to confront everything he’s spent the last five years running from. Because now, he’s going back to Watford. Back to her. And there’s nowhere left for either of them to hide. In order to move forward with their lives, they must first face the past - and their complicated feelings for each other. Under Pink Skies is a sweet, small town, second chance romance with a happy ending and no spice. It’s the first in the Watford Sweethearts series, which is best enjoyed in order.

Book Description
The Lady in The Pink Suit By Pham ThuDzung Dennis asked, “The Warren Commission confirmed that Lee Harvey Oswald - the only gunman - fired the Single Bullet from the sixth window of the School Book Depository of Texas hit President John F. Kennedy from the back, it went through the spine then got out from the President’s throat and it caused injury for Governor Connelly. Did that bullet kill President Kennedy?” “No,” Doctor Helen Augier-McCarthy explained, “At the hospital, we have a few cases similar to that; they were US veterans from Afghanistan or Iraq…Or sometimes, they’re victims of automobiles/motorcycles accidents. These patients become invalids (paralyzed from neck down), but the patients are still alive.” Jason said, “The Fatal Shot in the head, fired from a person that nobody would suspect, in an unbelievable circumstance…that bullet finalized JFK’s life.”
