The Rags to Riches series: Part Two Anywhere Tequila Flows Two men convinced they'll never find love discover it in the least likely of places. Sidney Richardson has watched his two best friends fall in love, leaving him to wonder if he'll ever find the right man for him. Sure, he's been playing the field since he discovered sex, but he's never taken a chance on one of those one-night stands to see if there might be more. Now he's ready, but is the man he's waiting on ready as well? Tito Perez has had a rough go of it, but he's finally in a good place in his life. He's got a great job and a group of marvellous friends. Who cares that he doesn't have that one special guy in his life? Some people just aren't meant to fall in love. Then a chance meeting between boss and employee gives Sidney and Tito an opportunity to put their hopes and dreams into action. Will love flow as easily as the tequila Tito pours? Walking in the Rain Sometimes fate brings us the right person to make our world perfect. Dayton VanHooren is a United States senator who doesn't really like his job. He's been too busy to date, much less pick anyone up for sex. Being openly gay means he doesn't have to worry about scandal, but he's looking for something more than a good time. Mickey O'Leary can barely think, he's so exhausted. Working three jobs to help pay his brother's hospital bills keeps him going and helps him forget about how lonely he is. Mickey would like to meet a nice guy who won't run at the first hint of Mickey's problems. A wedding reception and a thunderstorm are catalysts to bring these two men together. What can they do when they discover the perfect man for them but fall in love? Barefoot Dancing A moment in time can be the most pivotal one in our lives. Kendall VanHooren is happy with his life. He works as a corporate lawyer in his father's firm and does as he wishes on the weekends. He used to be a partier, but as he's matured, he's settled down and figured out that sometimes quiet is a good thing. George Bowie is working a minimum wage job, which is barely keeping him off the streets most days. He lost his job in the banking crisis and has learned the hard way that pride has no place when it comes to survival. Dancing barefoot on the beach might seem an odd thing to do, but it brings two men together at just the right moment for their worlds to collide.

Book Description
The twenty-chapter novel The Three Sui Quash the Demons’ Revolt is traditionally attributed to Luo Guanzhong (d. after 1364?), the alleged author of two of China’s most famous and beloved works of fiction, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin. The Three Sui tells the story of the uprising of adherents of the Maitreya Buddha led by Wang Ze in 1047–1048. Wang Ze was eventually executed and all future heterodox activity outlawed. Paradoxically, The Three Sui treats the rebellion as an occasion for slapstick, baggy-pants humor in which facts are distorted and wildly mixed with fiction. Wang Ze's real-life lieutenants show up as a comical peddler and a mysterious Daoist priest. A celebrated warrior takes part in the rebellion despite having died seventeen years earlier. Although the novel is divided into chapters and otherwise follows the traditional format for such extended narratives, a careful examination reveals The Three Sui is an arrangement of self-contained vernacular stories. No story bears an intrinsic relationship to any other story. And because the integrity of the various stories has been so remarkably preserved, The Three Sui is a vernacular novel in which the vernacular story reigns supreme. Although the Wang Ze rebellion took place during the Northern Song dynasty (960–1127), ultimately The Three Sui is the story of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) in Song masquerade. It calls attention to the social unrest, even anarchy, caused by the rising power and influence of movements like The White Lotus Society and warns of the Ming’s downfall unless such groups are contained. In this, the novel proved to be a prescient voice: The Ming collapsed as the result of a central authority weakened by mass sectarian uprisings. The Three Sui has been little known and sadly overlooked by scholars of Chinese literature and history. Now this vibrant translation and insightful interpretive essay make this early example of Chinese vernacular fiction available to a broad audience interested in comparative literature and fiction.
