In a near-future dystopian world, ‘The Bachelorette’ is turned into a reality show where contestants have to find love or die. The flawed but easy-to-love hero will fight for his woman through suspense, laugh out loud humor, and surprising moments of heart. What if you were a Bachelorette secluded on a tropical island with an emotionally-distant marine, a cutthroat survivalist, a sexually-charged bisexual and 9 other equally winning bachelors. Which one would you choose to spend the rest of your life with? Think that's a tough situation for Rose Kaitlyn, the bachelorette? Imagine being Ford Stone, the bachelor who discovers that once a guy gets eliminated he dies. That was not what Ford signed up for when he agreed to be on the show. And if the show's producers knew who he really was, they might not have tricked him to be there. Ford’s dystopian world might not have made him boyfriend material, but it did teach him how to hunt down a killer. So if Ford can survive the show's crazy challenges and the other psychotic contestants, he is going to figure out who is murdering everyone and make them pay. But can he find the killer before his relationship demons get him eliminated? And in spite of everything, could this be the best shot Ford will ever have at finding love? Only time will tell, and Ford’s time on the show is running out fast. ‘Dying for the Rose’ is a romantic suspense with laugh out loud humor, surprising moments of heart, and flawed characters who are easy to love. Written by international bestselling author A. Anders, this page-turner is a life and death race against time that will thrill you and keep you guessing until the last page.

With death at every turn, time is running out fast. Written by international bestselling author A. Anders, this page-turner is a life and death race against time that will thrill you and keep you guessing until the last page. Ford Stone isn't the type of guy to just play along. So when he is invited onto a deserted island to be on TV show similar to The Bachelorette his plan is to stand in back, poke fun at the love-struck fools, and get eliminated in a week. And that is exactly what he would have done if he hadn't stumbled upon two things: an eliminated contestant's dead body and the show's chilling twist. Is the beautiful bachelorette, Rose Kaitlyn, a victim or the killer behind all of this? Can Ford survive the deadly challenges and the insane contestants long enough to figure it out? And with fifteen other guys seriously vying for Rose's love, does Ford have a shot at even staying on the show, much less staying alive? If you love The Hunger Games and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None then you will love The Last Choice, a mystery suspense with heart, humor, and flawed characters who are easy to love.

Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is a now-classic novel about two women: Evelyn, who’s in the sad slump of middle age, and gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode, who’s telling her life story. Her tale includes two more women—the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Ruth—who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, offering good coffee, southern barbecue, and all kinds of love and laughter—even an occasional murder. And as the past unfolds, the present will never be quite the same again. Praise for Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe “A real novel and a good one [from] the busy brain of a born storyteller.”—The New York Times “Happily for us, Fannie Flagg has preserved [the Threadgoodes] in a richly comic, poignant narrative that records the exuberance of their lives, the sadness of their departure.”—Harper Lee “This whole literary enterprise shines with honesty, gallantry, and love of perfect details that might otherwise be forgotten.”—Los Angeles Times “Funny and macabre.”—The Washington Post “Courageous and wise.”—Houston Chronicle

In The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film (2005), scholar Drewey Wayne Gunn examined the history of gay detectives beginning with the first recognized gay novel, The Heart in Exile, which appeared in 1953. In the years since the original edition's publication, hundreds of novels and short stories in this sub-genre have been produced, and Gunn has unearthed many additional representations previously unrecorded. In this new edition, Gunn provides an overview of milestones in the development of gay detectives over the last several decades. Also included in this volume is an annotated list of novels, short stories, plays, graphic novels, comic strips, films, and television series with gay detectives, gay sleuths of secondary importance, and non-sleuthing gay policemen. The most complete listing available--including the only listing of early gay pulp novels, present-day male-to-male romances, and erotic films--this new edition brings the work up to date with publications missed in the first edition, particularly cross-genre mysteries, early pulps, and some hard-to-find volumes. The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film: A History and Annotated Bibliography lists all printed works in English (including translations) presently known to include gay detectives (such as amateur sleuths, police detectives, private investigators, and investigative reporters), from the 1929 play Rope until the present day. It includes all films in English, subtitled or dubbed, from the screen version of Rope in 1948 and the launch of the independent film Spy on the Fly in 1966 through the end of 2011. Complete with two appendices--a bibliography of sources and a list of Lambda Literary Awards--and indexes of titles, detectives, and actors, this extensively revised and updated reference will prove invaluable to mystery collectors, researchers, aficionados of the subgenre, and those devoted to GLBTQ studies.

What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary? “This book could not have come at a more auspicious time, and the message is mystical perfection, not to mention a courageous one. I adore this book.”—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit Before a vision of a mysterious “Lady” invited Clark Strand and Perdita Finn to pray the rosary, they were not only uninterested in becoming Catholic but finished with institutional religion altogether. Their main spiritual concerns were the fate of the planet and the future of their children and grandchildren in an age of ecological collapse. But this Lady barely even referred to the Church and its proscriptions. Instead, she spoke of the miraculous power of the rosary to transform lives and heal the planet, and revealed the secrets she had hidden within the rosary’s prayers and mysteries—secrets of a past age when forests were the only cathedrals and people wove rose garlands for a Mother whose loving presence was as close as the ground beneath their feet. She told Strand and Finn: The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear? Weaving together their own remarkable story of how they came to the rosary, their discoveries about the eco-feminist wisdom at the heart of this ancient devotion, and the life-changing revelations of the Lady herself, the authors reveal an ancestral path—available to everyone, religious or not—that returns us to the powerful healing rhythms of the natural world.
