From zero to sixty in record time—well, it's really from no man to two in a matter of days, and it's got John's world turned upside down! Confused and angry, John goes home after an odd encounter with an older man. He's pretty sure he didn't like it, exactly. Maybe. Benji seems to have moved on, and John knows he should too, but he can't stop thinking about the contradictory man.Finding another note from Benji doesn't help. John knows he's made mistakes, and he's learning that he has been lying to himself for years. Slowly, he realises there are things he has to admit, and change.First, though, he has to talk to Benji. John won't have any peace until he and Benji make some sort of peace. If his heart is telling him he truly wants something more, John doesn't see how that can work, not when Benji makes it clear he's interested, but only in a part of John.But John can't give up, something about Benji calls to him like no one else ever has.

Book Description
John's said no in the past, but now he has a chance at forever—if he can move past his doubts and say yes. John Weston's misspent youth has left him a more cautious man, one who doesn't dare take a risk. He works, comes home, and every day seems like the one before. It's what he deserves—it's all he deserves. That's what he's convinced himself. Added to his past mistakes, John has struggled with depression off and on for years. He keeps to himself, but he might come to realize that his reasons for doing so aren't what he believed them to be. One man appears, and John's going to have to figure out why he prefers to hide from life, and if he's ready to reach for something more. Benji Marks, with his beautiful eyes and bright smile, makes John want things he never thought he could have. Nothing comes easy, and heartbreak is a risk that John must weigh as he tries to sort out who he is and why he's made the choices he's made in the past.

Struggling with depression and adjusting to new meds, John finds his resolve to convince Benji of his sincerity.

The things people do and tell themselves to help them cope can also confine and constrain them. John wants no tethers save the love of one man.He'll need to come clean with himself, and with Benji. Talking is so much more difficult than fucking, but John will do whatever it takes to bring him and Benji together.

Book Description
Just when John Weston thinks he's got it all together, he learns he's really just buried his head in the sand. John Weston has been using his past behaviour as a weapon against himself. He's not wanted to fall back into old habits and ways that nearly destroyed him. That's why he's kept to himself for the past two years.Little by little, things happen that begin to make him see what he's really done—wall himself off in such a way that he no longer knows how to be around people outside of his job and his family.One man will come along and rattle John's self-imposed cage, and start John on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance he didn't even know he needed. John will have to take risks instead of hide away, and learn that making mistakes doesn't mean he's a lost cause. It simply means he's a man who can feel more than he'd ever thought he could.

Book Description
“A well-written and worthy sequel to one of SF’s enduring classics”—the Nebula Award winner The Forever War—now with a bonus story, “A Separate War” (Publishers Weekly). On virtually every list of the greatest military science fiction adventures ever written, Joe Haldeman’s Hugo and Nebula Award–winning classic, The Forever War, is ranked at the very top. In Forever Free, the Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master and author of the acclaimed Worlds series returns to that same volatile universe where human space marines once engaged the alien Taurans in never-ending battle. While loyal soldier William Mandella was fighting for the survival of the human race in a distant galaxy, thousands of years were passing on his home planet, Earth. Then, with the end of the hostilities came the shocking realization that humanity had evolved into something he did not recognize. Offered the choice of retaining his individuality or becoming part of the genetically modified shared Human hive-mind, Mandella chose exile, joining other veterans of the Forever War seeking a new life on a wasteland world they called Middle Finger. Making a home for themselves in this half-frozen hell, Mandella and his life partner, Marygay, have survived into middle age, raising a son and a daughter in the process. Now, the dark truth about the colonists’ ultimate role in the continuation of the Human group mind will force Mandella and Marygay to take desperate action as they hijack an interstellar vessel and set off on a frantic escape across space and time. But what awaits them upon their return is a mystery far beyond all human—or Human—comprehension . . . In Forever Free, Joe Haldeman’s stunning vision of humankind’s far future reaches its enthralling conclusion in a masterwork of speculation from the mind and heart of one of the undisputed champions of hard science fiction. And in the bonus story included in this volume, “A Separate War,” Marygay, reassigned and separated from her lover, Mandella, continues fighting in military engagements across the stars—all the while planning how she and Mandella can reunite despite the time and space between them.

Book Description
A Bridge Across Forever, sequel to Death’s Bright Angel, Part Two: Sacred Ground, is the final installment in the Sacred Ground Trilogy. There are two separate time-lines. As the story opens, it is 2019 and Dr. Glen Abbott has traveled to Scotland to meet with Mairi-Lea Hartford at the insistence of Gaia Magni, the Supreme Spiritual Being charged with restoring harmony and balance to Nature and preventing a Sixth Extinction Level Event (ELE). Gaia Magni has taken control of Earth. She is prepared, if necessary, to wipe humanity from the face of the Earth in order to protect the millions of other species in the Biosphere. But Earth has lost her resiliency and Gaia Magni is forced to adopt extreme measures in order to save Nature and humanity. She seeks help from the late John Hartford, the brilliant theoretical physicist assassinated in 1983 by the Soviet Union. Gaia Magni requires Hartford’s unique understanding of quantum theory to build a Galactic Bridge that will link Earth with Echo, the new world she has created 70,000 light years across the galaxy. Echo is humanity’s last chance to live in harmony and balance with Nature. But a visit to an Alternate Reality reveals a devastating future for Earth. The Doomsday Clock is ticking and it is a race against Time to save the Biosphere. In the alternate reality of 2017, Glen Abbott’s relationship with Virginia Montgomery is failing. She suffers from a retrograde amnesia that has left her without any emotional connection to her daughter or husband. Their marriage is on the rocks and he fears he has lost his chance to reclaim the love and contentment they had enjoyed before her death in 2018. In desperation, he tells her the truth; that he is from the future and that their daughter, Hannah, will evolve into Gaia Magni upon her Ascension. But can Montgomery, who has her own demons to contend with, believe him? Trust him? Ever love him again?

Book Description
This book is about my life-long search for spiritual meaning, truth, and freedom. Raised during World War II within the confines of an all-Catholic town in Northern Maine and within a community that kept an ever-vigilant watch over the words and actions of its children, this quest for enlightenment did not start easily. Led by fear, my parents imposed restrictions on their offspring according to their own blind acceptance of whatever words came out of the priests’ mouth. Born with a strong will and a propensity to rebel, I was pressured by my religious parents to choose the convent. Strangely enough, becoming a nun was the only way I could have come to the freedom that I craved. Had I opted to stay in the world and marry, I would never have had the deep realizations I awoke to through the wonderful retreats and experiences I enjoyed. Upon returning into the world I was then ready to absorb the teachings of enlightened spiritual teachers who came my way. Only by traveling this unique path have I confirmed a deep knowledge inside my own soul: Our God is a God of unconditional love, peace, and joy, which he liberally bestows on all his children for the asking. “Franck delivers an honest view of life spent behind convent doors and her narrative about the mystical experiences she’s had will leave you feeling inspired.” Freelance Writer and Editor, Ivory W. Rieger. “An inspirational story of a truly spiritual life lived with a willing sense of adventure and exploration in the Now.” Martha Fenton: A Hospital for Maine: the History of Maine Medical Center.”
