Crystal’s House of Queers by Brooke Skipstone

GOLD Medal Literary Titan

Three senior girls in rural Alaska escape their abusive pasts by raising their dyke flag for themselves and their community.

Crystal Rose woke up at three in the morning today, drenched in sweat and breathless after another sex dream with Haley Carson. Later at school in the tiny town of Clear, Alaska, Crystal saves Haley from an assault by her abusive boyfriend.

The two girls renew a love started years ago that had to stay hidden until now. But with Crystal’s grandparents in the hospital with Covid and the possibility of her drug addict parents returning from a 14-year absence, Crystal needs Haley as much as she needs Crystal.

They connect with Payton Reed, a gun-toting artist who helps them feel proud to be gay and willing to stand up to anyone. Together they struggle to make Crystal’s house safe for those who are hated for their love.

Author Bio:
Brooke Skipstone is a multi-award winning author who lives in Alaska where she watches the mountains change colors with the seasons from her balcony. Where she feels the constant rush toward winter as the sunlight wanes for six months of the year, seven minutes each day, bringing crushing cold that lingers even as the sun climbs again. Where the burst of life during summer is urgent under twenty-four-hour daylight, lush and decadent. Where fish swim hundreds of miles up rivers past bear claws and nets and wheels and lines of rubber-clad combat fishers, arriving humped and ragged, dying as they spawn. Where danger from the land and its animals exhilarates the senses, forcing her to appreciate the difference between life and death. Where the edge between is sometimes too alluring.


Crystal’s House of Queers is her third novel.

About Wonders In The Deep: A Tale of Healing

Love. Loss. Hope. Heroism. Is there safe passage through the torrents and storms of life?

Wonders In the Deep is a dramatic illustration, an emotionally charged depiction of the elements that keep us human, fuel our spirit, and give us the courage to continue.

The life of eighteen-year-old Brandon Lawrence is one riddled with questions. Pained sore inside, he seeks answers that have been swallowed deeply by his own grandfather, whom he lovingly calls Pap. How did his parents and grandmother die? Why does his grandfather resent Natalie, Brandon’s best friend since childhood? Why is he forbidden to step foot on a boat, to ride the waves of the sea? Will he ever find answers?

Pap’s journals. Could they hold the secrets?

Set in the rocky and rugged coastline of Maine, the story uncovers Brandon’s world in the summer of 1998. The 1930s and 40s of his grandfather’s world are now over, along with the flat plains of a corn-belted Illinois town he had decided to leave as a young man. What had happened to cause a man to run from a life he couldn’t handle? What had turned Pap into a man withdrawn from life? A man holding tight to the secrets of his life.

Sitting alone on the same weathered dock Brandon had come to with Pap every Thursday growing up, he tries to piece together the puzzle of an unspoken life. Face to face with the only solution he knows, he must choose between honor and answers; an act of thievery plagues him hard, haunting and jolting his conscience. If his grandfather is too brokenhearted to speak of such things, could Brandon steal the answers he needs from the journals?

Wonders In the Deep is a soothing balm, medicine to a hurting and wounded soul. Faced with the harsh realities of grief and loss, two men embark on a great journey to find healing in the deep and uncertain oceans of life. As you journey with Brandon and Pap, you may identify with their struggles.

Is there true triumph over adversity? How far will one go for answers? How far will you go?

The spiritual program of recovery is still the most effective path to lasting freedom from addiction to alcohol and drugs! Recovering Reality takes you deep into your spiritual dimension to guide you through the spiritual program of recovery. Once you understand the power of your beliefs the spiritual program of recovery makes perfect sense.

The essence of the spiritual program of recovery is to create a trusting personal relationship with God. For the secular newcomer, turning their will and their lives over to the care of God can seem like an impossibility. What does it mean to turn my will and life over to God and how do you do something like that? This vital part of the program is so perplexing that many skimp on this step and eventually end up returning to addiction. This was my experience and I am lucky I didn’t end up dead.

When I first attended 12-step meetings, I just couldn’t understand the spiritual concepts required for successfully working the steps. How do I know that I am powerless over alcohol and drugs? Why is this happening to me? Who and what is God? The concept of God baffled me completely. How can I turn my will and my life over to the care of God who I don’t understand and never much thought about? Everything I knew of life said I am responsible for running my own life. How can I relinquish that basic human responsibility to this mysterious God? There were so many questions that I needed answered to be able to succeed with the spiritual program of recovery. Why can’t I control my use of alcohol and drugs like I see others doing? Everybody else seems to be doing just fine without admitting they are powerless to run their lives and turning that responsibility over to God. None of this made any sense to me.

If you want the answers to all these bewildering questions then Recovering Reality is the book written just for you.

David J. Saffold helps people create vibrant life using the power of belief and the unconditional love of God.

He has over 30 years of sobriety and has attended thousands of AA meetings and helped hundreds of people begin their recovery from addiction to alcohol and drugs. His own miraculous resurrection from certain death at the hands of severe addiction to alcohol and drugs propelled him to devote his life to investigating the phenomenal power of the human belief system and how it works to create our experience of life.

In Dave’s own words: “There were two pivotal times in my life that have made me what I am today. The first was when I was twenty-five years old on the death march with alcohol addiction. I had given up all hope and was preparing to die when the miracle happened. Somehow, I made a tiny connection to the power of God and I was restored to vibrant life and the addiction to alcohol and drugs fell away, never to return.

The second was in my late thirties, after 12 years of living addiction free, when life again collapsed around me. What happened to me? How could I end up, once again, in the grips of such hopelessness, despair, and failure? Why did I seemingly keep failing at life? Why did life always seem so threatening and why was I always feeling so angry and discontented? I truly desired purpose and meaning in my life! I truly wanted something very different than the small, unimportant, dismal, and discontented life I seemed to be trapped within! But this time around I could not blame my failures in life on alcohol and drugs! What was I to do? If I was to finally be truly free to live life to my fullest potential I had to finally do the inner work that led to connecting to the awesome power found in the unconditional love of God

Both of these major events involved a battle with internal forces that were destroying my life. It was my battle with the forces within me that led me to begin investigating the human belief system and the power found in the unconditional love of God. My intense drive to understand and leverage the life-changing power of belief by connecting to the awesome power found in the unconditional love of God are what led to me to write the books Recovering Reality and Creating The Impossible.”

David J. Saffold was born in Atlanta GA in 1964, and grew up in Columbus, GA. He has a B.S. in Applied Physics from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and is a graduate of the auric and Kabbalistic healing programs at The School of Healing Arts at The Estuary in Nashville, Tennessee.

About The Shadow I Remember by C. Ruthe

What would you do if you found out there was a horrible, shameful secret within your own family? Cyndi thought she had it tough by trying to get her emotionally distant father to pay any attention to her, while at the same time attempting to fend off an overanxious and domineering mother—a rather frustrating and difficult struggle, indeed. But what Cyndi learned about her father years after his death completely shook her to the core.
It’s been said that chaos brings people closer together. “The Shadow I Remember” presents a brutal tale of emotional distance, sexual and psychological abuse, and mental instability within a family that merely wanted to live a simple life, but unexpectedly ended up imploding.

About The Cherokee Secret by Edward Hendry

We all have two lives. Jimmy-Mack’s second began the moment he realized he only had one.
In the remote mountains of North Carolina, Mack’s new found love for a Cherokee Native woman exposes a tribal secret and an Indian burial ground holding an ancient Viking treasure with a supernatural origin wrapped in a mystery so deep its unraveling rewrites the North American history books, toppling a European monarchy, while threatening the roots of Christianity itself.

When the woman disappears, the decorated combat vet sets out on a dangerous wilderness journey to find her, but as Mack faces down Mother Nature’s elements, hostile mountain outlaws and the mistakes of his past, a deceitful member of a Royal Palace launches an international manhunt to locate the burial ground, steal the treasure and assassinate him. And Mack has another problem on his hands. It’s the year 2016. The woman he’s searching for hasn’t been seen since the 1700’s.

With Mack one step away from finding her centuries old Royal secret and the truth of just who or what he really is, time is running out when a shadowy religious figure intent on using the treasure’s supernatural power for world domination emerges. Will Mack survive the hunt to fulfill his time-shattering destiny?
