Book Description
Diversity has always been central to Alaska identity, as the state’s population consists of people with many different backgrounds, viewpoints, and life experiences. This book opens a window into these diverse lives, gathering stories and poems about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer life into a brilliant, path-breaking anthology. In these pages we see the panoply of LGBTQ life in Alaska today, from the quotidian urban adventures of a family—shopping, going out, working—to intimate encounters with Alaska’s breathtaking natural beauty. At a time of great change and major strides in LGBTQ civil rights, Building Fires in the Snow shows us an Alaska that shatters stereotypes and reveals a side of Alaska that’s been little seen until now.

After the Snow Began to Fall
Author: Robert Butler
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1300368101
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 717
Book Description
After the Snow Began to Fall is a novel that will make you laugh, cry, sit on the edge of your seat at times, and present you with questions (maybe even a few answers) that have challenged each of us during our lifetimes. The world in which these characters live is much different than that which we face, but their approach to living should be an inspiration to all. They must make do with less and become innovative when it counts. Life and death decisions are intertwined with humor and romance. Without anyone else to come to their aid, they struggle to survive and create a new life for themselves and those who join them along the way. In addition, this novel is rather unique, I think, because it is actually two novels in one. One of the characters is a writer who creates a novel for the other characters as the story proceeds.
