Synopsis

Major league baseball’s first Ambassador for Inclusion shares “a passionate memoir of the challenges [he] faced as a closeted gay athlete” (Sports Illustrated).   With a relentless work ethic, exceptional talent, and a quick left-handed swing, Billy Bean made it to the majors, where he played from 1987 to 1995—an outfielder for the Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, and San Diego Padres. But as a gay man in the brutally homophobic world of professional baseball, Billy remained closeted to both teammates and family. Throughout his career, he was unable to reconcile his public life with his inner self.  Going the Other Way is the intimate chronicle of a man who, in the prime of his career, had to make a terrible choice between his love of the game and the love of his life. At the young age of thirty-one, just as he solidified his role as a major-league utility player, Bean walked away from the game that was his calling and his livelihood.   At once heartbreaking and farcical, ruminative and uncensored, this groundbreaking memoir points the way toward a more perfect game, one in which all players can pursue their athletic dreams free of prejudice and discrimination.

    The wise, life-changing, ground-breaking book from writer and activist Munroe Bergdorf. 
    Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition—a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. 
    As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely—regardless of how we identify—but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us. 
    In Transitional, activist and writer Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers and activists to reveal just how deeply ingrained transitioning is in human experience. 
    This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared consciousness: a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.

R, a non-binary femme character, narrates their experience of disease and recovery through recurrent letters to doctors, pets, family members, lovers, and a “Master.” R, in letter form and repurposed religious texts, also explores the paradoxical experiences of queer non-reproductivity, chronic illness and disability, and the healing that can be found in the liminal spaces between.

    Ensnared. Trapped. Committed.  
    What kind of nightmare had he stumbled into? 
    Richard Clayson was a walking paradox. A symbol of law and order, yet his mere presence aroused a wild and dangerous yearning in Beau. He never expected to find himself engaged to Richard. 
    But here they were. 
    As the Rebel Brotherhood threatened to tear their town apart, Richard's loyalty was tested. His dedication to justice was unwavering, but what about his loyalty to Beau? 
    He could feel the darkness creeping in, threatening to consume them both. Death and danger were all around them. 
    Could they make it down the aisle? 
    The lines between good and evil blurred, and Beau couldn't help but wonder if they were both in too deep. 
    Gone were the junkie and the wh*re. 
    In their place stood the Sheriff and the devil. 
    The question was, could they survive the reckoning that was coming for them? 
      
    Warning: this is an M/M romance, M/M second chance romance that includes gore, violence, a large M/M romance age gap, and a HEA southern wedding.

    Moving from a Texas ranch to an Australian Outback station was a life changing decision for Travis Craig. Though it wasn’t really a decision at all. Something in his bones told him to go, though he had no clue as to why. 
    Until he met Sutton Station’s owner, Charlie. 
    Loving Charlie shouldn’t have been easy. The man was stubborn, and riddled with crippling self-doubt. No, it shouldn’t have been easy at all. Yet somehow, falling in love with Charlie was the easiest thing in the world. 
    Loving him was easy. Living with him, teaching him how to love in return and, more importantly, how to love himself, was not. But Travis knew all along it’d be worth it. He knew the man with the red dirt heart was destined to be his. Just like he knew the red dirt that surrounded him was where he was supposed to be. 
    In the final instalment of the Red Dirt Series, we see Charlie through Travis’ eyes. We see how much he’s grown and how much he loves. We go back to Texas with them, and we see Charlie get everything he truly thought he never deserved. 
    Red Dirt Heart 4 is Travis’ story. 
    And this is the story of not just one red dirt heart, but two.
