Will Tam be able to stand up for herself? And if she does, will anything actually change?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *A Barnes & Noble Teen Blog's Most Anticipated LGBTQAP YA Book of 2019* Jenna Watson is a cheerleader. And she wants you to know it’s not some Hollywood crap: they are not every guy’s fantasy. They are not the “mean girls” of Marsen High School. They’re literally just human females trying to live their lives and do a perfect toe touch. And their team is at the top of their game. They’re a family. But all that changes when Jenna’s best friend stops talking to her. Suddenly, she’s not getting invited out with the rest of the quad. She’s always a step behind. And she has no idea why. While grappling with post-cheer life, Jenna explores things she never allowed herself to like, including LARPing (live action role playing) and a relationship with a trans guy that feels a lot like love. When Jenna loses the sport and the friends she’s always loved, she has to ask herself: What else is left?

Book excerpt: A lazy small town summer in 1970s Texas turns treacherous when Cal Long’s mother goes missing. Cal and her best friend Rachel, along with sophisticated new friend Jane, use every trick in their teenage arsenal to get to the bottom of the mystery. Along the way, Cal is drawn to Jane in ways she’s never felt before while Rachel struggles to understand her best friend’s new attraction. From Amarillo to Palo Duro Canyon to Ft. Worth and back, the girls puzzle through the connections surrounding the mystery of Cal’s mother’s disappearance. But their shocking discoveries are soon eclipsed by the explosive consequences of Cal’s surrender to her feelings for Jane. Girl Squad is a story of friendship, of betrayal, of passion, of awakening. And ultimately, a story of transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A company of infantryman is one of the most powerful and versatile weapons at a nation’s disposal. Capable of any number of tasks assigned to them, these are men for whom the mission always comes first. These are men of honor, men of loyalty, created for one purpose: destroy the enemies of their nation in armed conflict. But what happens when divisions begin to become evident in the heart and soul of these men? What happens when they begin to question their creation, question their reality, and question all they have been trained to hold dear? For the commander of Combat Outpost Chemera, these questions become all too real when events begin to spiral out of control during operations in several isolated mountain villages in the war-torn nation they have been sent to occupy. Boredom, poor decision making, treasonous actions, and the grim reality of death lurking around every corner send the captain spiraling into his books, into his childhood memories, and into an examination of his military career. How were we meant to live our lives? What gives us real purpose? Sometimes the experience of war is the only way to find the answer.
