Once bitten, twice shy… Lennox - aka the Mad Bomber - would rather blow himself up than go on another blind date orchestrated by his well-meaning Brethren. Yes! He wants to find his Mate. No! He cannot take another failed first date–at least not for the foreseeable future. Ya’ gotta know when hold ‘em and know when to fold ‘em, and Lenn’s decided to burn the whole deck. So, it’s off to the Sundowner for a drink to help him forget his troubles. One drunken night with a smart-assed, well-meaning Demi-God and Lenn’s got a new tattoo, his head’s beating like a bass drum, and there’s a raven-haired beauty in his bed who makes his heart race, and his Dragon sends smoke signals… But there’s no way in Heaven or Hell he’s Mating one of her kind. Nope, it’s just not happening. Alone is better than eternity with… with… that. And if Babs MacAutley thinks she can convince him otherwise, then she can dance a gig all the way back to the Isle of Skye. There’s only one answer… It’s time to blow something up and have another beer. The Universe does make mistakes. And Fate will be denied… or will it?
Bubbles is born in a village where the dragons breathe fire. However, to the surprise of the other dragons, this little dragon isn't spitting fire, but water. This can only mean trouble.

The vividly told, gloriously illustrated memoir of an artist born with disabilities who searches for freedom and connection in a society afraid of strange bodies “Golem Girl is luminous; a profound portrait of the artist as a young—and mature—woman; an unflinching social history of disability over the last six decades; and a hymn to life, love, family, and spirit.”—David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas WINNER OF THE BARBELLION PRIZE • FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KIRKUS REVIEWS What do we sacrifice in the pursuit of normalcy? And what becomes possible when we embrace monstrosity? Can we envision a world that sees impossible creatures? In 1958, amongst the children born with spina bifida is Riva Lehrer. At the time, most such children are not expected to survive. Her parents and doctors are determined to "fix" her, sending the message over and over again that she is broken. That she will never have a job, a romantic relationship, or an independent life. Enduring countless medical interventions, Riva tries her best to be a good girl and a good patient in the quest to be cured. Everything changes when, as an adult, Riva is invited to join a group of artists, writers, and performers who are building Disability Culture. Their work is daring, edgy, funny, and dark—it rejects tropes that define disabled people as pathetic, frightening, or worthless. They insist that disability is an opportunity for creativity and resistance. Emboldened, Riva asks if she can paint their portraits—inventing an intimate and collaborative process that will transform the way she sees herself, others, and the world. Each portrait story begins to transform the myths she’s been told her whole life about her body, her sexuality, and other measures of normal. Written with the vivid, cinematic prose of a visual artist, and the love and playfulness that defines all of Riva's work, Golem Girl is an extraordinary story of tenacity and creativity. With the author's magnificent portraits featured throughout, this memoir invites us to stretch ourselves toward a world where bodies flow between all possible forms of what it is to be human. “Not your typical memoir about ‘what it’s like to be disabled in a non-disabled world’ . . . Lehrer tells her stories about becoming the monster she was always meant to be: glorious, defiant, unbound, and voracious. Read it!”—Alice Wong, founder and director, Disability Visibility Project
What do single moms, stay-at-home dads, professionals who happen to be women, men who like to dress colorfully, infertile people, and homosexuals have in common? They're often viewed by society as sad, bad, and even a little suspicious. Those judgments all stem originally from one idea: that females are naturally passive and more caring, and males are naturally aggressive and more intelligent. It's an idea that is deeply embedded in our social system and dictates much of our behavior. It's also an idea that has nothing to do with what is actually going on in nature. Crime Against Nature reveals all the ways we can be naturally.
