Rite of Passage
by John Bailey
Élan - Half Eldridge. Half Castalian. Total outcast. Helpless witness to the butchering of his parents by the invading Satyr forces, Élan is unwillingly saved and mentored by his DragonLord Uncle, Leavenstar — that is, only after Leavenstar is persuaded not to kill the boy instead. Fear, revulsion, hatred and prejudice — Élan is met with these violent provoking, unforgiving emotions time and time again from all quarters, but no one seems to want to explain to him why. What Élan does know, however, is that he will avenge his parents and he will find a way to be with his forbidden lover, the King’s niece. With his Eldridge/Castalian blood slowly coming to the fore and fomenting his powers, Élan is joined by his predestined companion, the dragon Moonshadow. Together, they may yet be able to show everyone that Élan’s true inner self is worthy and benevolent and not malevolent. But with powerful forces in turmoil both surrounding and within him, how will he choose to move forward when he cannot even be sure that his choices are his own? A love story beleaguered by malicious intrigues, racial prejudice, and ultimate heartbreak, Rite of Passage is a cautionary and tragic tale of manipulation that harkens back to the high fantasy traditions of chivalry, power, love, and loss.

Together Still
Love Beyond Death by Linda Hill
With poetic gentleness and vulnerable integrity, Linda Hill's memoir, Together Still: Love Beyond Death portrays Continuing Bonds: A compelling approach to end-of-life accompaniment, death care and bereavement. For four adventurous decades, Linda and her beloved spouse, John Scull, explored the world with wonder and curiosity. They loved each other, their families, and friends wholeheartedly. They cared for nature and their community with spirits of generosity. After John was diagnosed with a terminal illness, the couple resiliently continued their loving ways of accompanying each other as they travelled to the horizon of John’s life. When John died, Linda was utterly unprepared for what was about to happen. At first, she diagnosed her spiritual experiences as illnesses and dismissed John’s after-death communication as wishful thinking. Fortunately, John persisted in doing everything he possibly could to let her know he was still with her. Their reciprocal, spiritual bonds transformed Linda’s off-kilter journey through her heart-fracturing grief into a heroic odyssey of what she calls “re-orbiting” around love and happiness. Each chapter of Linda’s beautifully written memoir intertwines romance, spirituality, and the healing power of cultivating and continuing loving bonds. To this day, John reaches out to Linda through spiritual communication, messages in nature, uncanny coincidences, and visitations in her dreams. Linda reaches out to John through meditation, journalling, creative arts, memorial events, joint legacy projects, and adventures of being alone but not alone. Although everything—absolutely everything—is now so very different, they are together still, loving beyond death.

Long COVID is going to Kill Me
by Boyd J.Stennes
So, I made an appointment with my doctor and told him about all the symptoms I’d been having. He ruled out arthritis and said, “You’ve got all of the symptoms of long COVID.” “Ok, what can we do to fix this?” I asked. Dr. Stearn said, “There’s nothing I can do to help you. I don’t know anything about long COVID and I don’t know of anyone that I can refer you to. You’re on your own.” In July 2022, Boyd Stennes is enjoying his semi-retirement and dutifully following all the COVID protocols, including the vaccines, but he and his wife contract COVID at last. Less than two weeks later, they’re both feeling fine. Not long after this, though, Boyd begins experiencing mysterious, painful, frightening symptoms that come and go without warning. Eventually, he receives the devastating diagnosis—he’s contracted long COVID, for which there is no cure, very little treatment, and no defined prognosis. In fact, his doctor tells him he’s on his own. What else can he think but Long COVID is going to Kill Me? Over the next two years, with the love of his family but very little medical support, Boyd is forced to try to figure out how to live with long COVID’s agonizing joint pain and brain fog as well as the crippling anxiety that comes along with it. For those suffering from this still poorly understood disease and for those who care for them, his hard-fought experience can serve as a light along the very dark and little-known pathway of long COVID.
