The Order: The Tale Of The Sabor Guardians is a terrific spin on life, death and the never ending cycle of Evil against Good, and one young man's journey to deal with the gravity of them both. The confused and reluctant be hero of the Tale is one Sabor Lindon, a spoiled, somewhat uncentered young man who on his twenty-second birthday deals with a blanket of strife - only to find more pain is yet to come. The Tale chronicles the steps the reluctant Lindon takes along the way to overcome his newfound responsibilities. An evil being, Dvanken, an unholy wretch born of murder and sustained by humanity's suffering, remains unknown to all of mankind, save The Order. He roams, devouring the loathing and fear residing in humanity and his hunger stands unrelenting. A series of twists and turns bring Good and Evil full circle to duel until the finish. One will stand. One will claim victory. One will perish! "The author of The Order paints a vivid picture which allows you to enter into a new world, a world which will amaze and fascinate you, as he introduces you to the world and the inhabitants of The Order." - Bev Whittingham, author of Sunrise "This talented and imaginative young author invents his own dimension within our own. Sabor Guardians commit terrifying acts of heroism to fight an enormous terror, plaguing the earth. The terror known as Dvanken." - Debra Moore

This is the story of an Asian Leopard Cat named Sabor; but even more importantly it is the story of a shy, gentle spirited, resilient species of cat at peril in the wild yet suffering from lack of public awareness. They are in fact invisible to most people, researchers and donors. It is the story of a unique bond between a human and a Leopard Cat. This is the story of a life changed by the lessons learned and the unconditional love of a sweet, gentle spirit named Sabor. It is my hope that through these pages and photographs, you too will fall in love with this remarkable boy and will want to lend your voice and your support to saving those like him in the wild. To know a Leopard Cat is to love them and I hope through his story, you will have love in your heart for My Sabor and all his kind struggling to survive against the perils of man in the wild. Together, we can make a difference.

Travelling abroad with a clutch of 20-something students to Spain was bound to be an adventure, but she got more than she bargained for in the process.

Everything that began Under the Clock propelled her into a world of bullfights, communist rallies and salsa dancing.

Beyond the safety of New York City's news headlines, Next Stop is a train ride into the heart of the Bronx during the late eighties and early nineties at the height of the crack epidemic, a tumultuous time when hip-hop was born and money-hungry slumlords were burning down apartment buildings with tenants still inside. From one stop to the next, this gritty memoir follows Ivan Sanchez and his crew on their search for identity and an escape from poverty in a stark world where street wars and all-night symphonies of crime and drug-fueled mayhem were as routine as the number 4 train. In the game, the difference between riches and ruin was either a bullet or a lucky turn away. Almost driven insane by the poverty, despair, and senseless violence, Ivan left it all behind and moved to Virginia, but the grotesque images and voices of the dead continued to haunt him. This book honors the memories of those who died. At times heartbreakingly sad and brutal, Next Stop shares with a whole new generation the insights and hard lessons Ivan learned.

Winner for the 2021 Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction Winner of the 2021 Ferro-Grumley Literary Award for LGBTQ Fiction Finalist for the 2020 Kirkus Prize for Fiction Lit by the hormonal neon glow of Miami, this debut novel follows a Colombian teenager's coming-of-age as she plunges headfirst into lust and evangelism. Uprooted from her comfortable life in Bogotá, Colombia, into an ant-infested Miami townhouse, fifteen-year-old Francisca is miserable and friendless in her strange new city. Her alienation grows when her mother is swept up into an evangelical church, replete with Christian salsa, abstinent young dancers, and baptisms for the dead. But there, Francisca also meets the magnetic Carmen: opinionated and charismatic, head of the youth group, and the pastor’s daughter. As her mother’s mental health deteriorates and her grandmother descends into alcoholism, Francisca falls more and more intensely in love with Carmen. To get closer to her, Francisca turns to Jesus to be saved, even as their relationship hurtles toward a shattering conclusion. “Ebullient and assertive.” —New York Times "Julián Delgado Lopera—remember that name—is an irreverent, shameless and disarming new novelist. They are a merciless satirist in control of a pitch-perfect voice that makes an indisputable case for Spanglish as the perfect vehicle to express what we are really like right now." —NBC News

In this book, she takes familiar and obscure Latin American tunes and pieces influenced by Latin music and arranges them for hammered dulcimer, and in some cases fretted dulcimer (with tablature) as well.
