She gives it a shape and a face, and encourages the reader to give it a name, all of which helps to demystify it and distinguish it from ourselves. In When Sadness Is at Your Door, Eva Eland brilliantly approaches this feeling as if it is a visitor. Sadness can be scary and confusing at any age! When we feel sad, especially for long periods of time, it can seem as if the sadness is a part of who we are–an overwhelming, invisible, and scary sensation. ![]() In the style of Harold and the Purple Crayon comes a picture-book primer in emotional literacy and mindfulness that suggests we approach the feeling of sadness as if it is our guest. ![]()

It considers the pressures to fit into a certain mold, the performance of gender, and intersectionality, primarily through the lenses of the main trans protagonist and a later gender-questioning character. ![]() This work of realistic fiction talks about so much of what I have already written on this blog, even though this is only my second post. ![]() At the same time, though, Nevada by Imogen Binnie and the story of Maria Griffiths–a depressed punk transgender woman–is a perfect starting point for Trans Narrative. When I decided to write a review for this blog, I probably could have chosen something more recent than a book in which a Fugazi CD leads to emotional revelations, people still use LiveJournal, and the main character says “The Facebook”. ![]() ![]() In the Shadow of Man is one of the Western world’s great scientific achievements” (Stephen Jay Gould) and a vivid, essential journey of discovery for each new generation of readers.

Those are the books that seem to resonate most with my TPE and hard kink readers. I am, at heart, a romance author who just happens to be kinky and turned on by the hard stuff! ![]() These books are all romances, with happily ever afters.

There's the Club Mephisto series (which is Club Mephisto/Molly's Lips/Burn For You.) Club Mephisto and Molly's Lips tell the same story of a TPE relationship, but Club Mephisto is from her surrendered/slave point of view, while Molly's LIps is from the Master's point of view.

If you're into TPE and force-type books, I would suggest some of my earlier work. ![]() ![]() ![]() After the death of their young son, followed by a miscarriage, her despair, his affair, and, finally, the running-over of their Jack Russell terrier, this marriage is more of a house-sharing arrangement than any comfort to anyone. He will be late, he says, not even troubling to come up with an excuse for why. We meet the very dear character Dorothy Caliban at home, sending her husband, Fred, off to work. Caliban was originally published in 1982 to raves that compared it to works by Edgar Allan Poe, David Lynch, Richard Yates, and Angela Carter, not to mention E.T., King Kong, and “Beauty and the Beast”-which only shows how sui generis it really is. ![]() Thanks to the support of writers like Daniel Handler and Rivka Galchen, who introduces this novella, the marvelous Ingalls ( Three Masquerades, 2017, etc.) has been rescued from obscurity with reissues of her books.

Just like the synopsis says, we start our story with Emerson, he’s The Collector. I don’t know if it’s me, or the story – so I guess we’ll see if i pick up the next one. ![]() The summary here led me to believe that it was going to be slightly different than the story turned out to be, and frankly it took me a long time to get through it. She’ll be the perfect addition to his collection. It doesn’t matter that she’s a living, breathing person with her own hopes and dreams. Innocent Daphne Morelli is more exquisite than anything he’s ever seen. He only ventures out in pursuit of new art for his collection.

Hurston was also known to adjust her birth year from time to time as well. She probably had no memories of Notasulga, having moved to Florida as a toddler. However, according to many other sources, she took some creative license with that fact. Her birthplace has been the subject of some debate since Hurston herself wrote in her autobiography that she was born in Eatonville, Florida. Hurston was born on January 7, 1891, in Notasulga, Alabama. Hurston died in poverty in 1960, before a revival of interest led to posthumous recognition of her accomplishments. Zora Neale Hurston became a fixture of New York City's Harlem Renaissance, due to her novels like Their Eyes Were Watching God and shorter works like "Sweat." She was also an outstanding folklorist and anthropologist who recorded cultural history, as illustrated by her Mules and Men. ![]() ![]() ![]() So let’s dive into Eric’s book and find out how Etsy can work for you!
