My Love Weeps
My Love Weeps is a poetry collection that captures the beauty and ache of love in a world where romance often feels forgotten. With poems that highlight love and desire and poems that touch on heavy topics like abuse and heartbreak, My Love Weeps imparts raw emotion and honest reflection and reminds us that yearning, longing, and passion still pulse deeply within this generation.
Divided into three sections-My Love, MySelf, and My Weeps-Astrus* takes readers on a journey through his own experiences: from falling in love, to finding himself, to facing heartbreak.

Whether you're in love, heartbroken, or still searching for what those feelings mean, My Love Weeps offers something to hold onto. Because poetry is alive-and so is longing.

Lore Olympus: Volume Eleven
The finale of Lore Olympus has arrived! Witness Hades and Persephone's modern, romantic reimagining in this gorgeously illustrated, Eisner Award-winning comic--now including a never-before-seen bonus short story! "It's time to set things right." The race is on to save the Mortal Realm, but tragedy strikes when Kronos hijacks Morpheus's body and kidnaps Hades. Now alone and unsure of the right way forward, Persephone is called to a leadership meeting of the gods, only to find that Apollo can manipulate her powers. He claims the spectacle proves that in order to save humanity she must marry him. Before Persephone can even consider this cursed deal, Hera steps forward with a different solution: She will offer herself to Kronos in order to gain access to old Tartarus, wherein they'll be able to destroy the titan, save their captured friends, and restore Persephone's control over spring. Though the plan is risky, the gods agree it is the only path, and watch as the two goddesses descend into the depths to confront Kronos. Meanwhile, Hades awakens in his worst nightmare, transported back in time--and right into his father's clutches. Tortured and made to feel small, Hades thinks there is no way to escape until he meets the prisoner Kronos has been using to control the other gods. With the young goddess's help, Hades finally finds the strength to face the titan. Combined with Persephone and Hera's efforts, they are able to end Kronos's influence over Olympus once and for all. But Kronos is not the only danger the gods face. Apollo is revealed to be receiving aid from Olympus's original tyrant, Ouranos, and the Primordial God has come to collect on the debt that arrogant Apollo owes him. And if Ouranos is unleashed once more, it will be the end of everything . . . Can Hades and Persephone find their way back to each other and stop Apollo before he destroys the realms in his dangerous quest for power? This edition of Smythe's original Eisner Award-winning webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe and brings the Greek pantheon into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. This final volume collects episodes 261-280 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus. -

If Barstools Could Talk
Behind every barstool is a story.
Behind every story is a truth most people wait too long to say.For more than forty years, Dan Andrews lived behind the bar-watching people unravel, rebuild, confess, flirt, lie, laugh, break, and begin again. He didn't just pour drinks. He listened. Because after the second drink, people stop performing and start telling the truth.
If Barstools Could Talk is a raw, funny, and unfiltered look at life through the eyes of a bartender who's heard it all. These are the stories people don't plan to tell-shared late at night, between sips, when the room gets quiet and honesty finally shows up. Stories about love and loss, bad decisions and small miracles, regret and redemption, and the strange comfort of being truly seen by a stranger.
This is not a feel-good book wrapped in inspirational quotes.
It's not a bartending manual.
And it's definitely not polite.It's about people at their most human-messy, hilarious, guarded, hopeful, and real. It's about the moments that don't make it into highlight reels but shape who we become. The conversations that happen when the music fades, the lights soften, and someone finally says what they mean.
Told with sharp wit, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, If Barstools Could Talk reminds us that connection doesn't always happen in perfect places. Sometimes it happens on a cracked vinyl stool, under bad lighting, with a drink you didn't plan on ordering.
Pull up a seat.
Stay awhile.
You'll recognize yourself somewhere between the first pour and last call. -
Cream Chronicled
This is the fourth of Nettie Baker's highly acclaimed and entertaining books. In this one she tackles the challenge of documenting every show by Cream, the legendary band formed by her father Ginger with Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton. Cream lasted just over two years (July 1966 - November 1968). They briefly got together again for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction in 1993, and finally made it to their exciting and well-documented 2005 reunion.
Thorough research answers once and for all questions of how Cream formed, were they Cream or The Cream? What really happened when they jammed with Hendrix? Why did they split up? And much more, debunking many tired old myths in the process. Nettie was really there at the time (offering behind the scenes tit bits) and has also drawn on the contemporary accounts of how Cream was experienced on the day both by fans and the musicians themselves. As Nettie says, "Crucially, these were very young men who found themselves living in interesting times."
Throw out everything you thought you knew about them; get to know the young Ginger, Jack and Eric and be prepared for a few surprises. Cream could never have existed and achieved such an enduring legacy without having a deep and profound friendship at its core. They were brothers.

In the Shade of the Sugar Maple
Four generations. One family legacy. A forgotten cemetery holds the key to their legacy.
In 1797, Thomas and Susanna Graham stake everything on a dream. Leaving the world they know, they journey down the Ohio River to carve a home in Kentucky's frontier. But the wilderness demands everything-testing their faith, love, and endurance through loss, hardship, and natural disasters.
Their granddaughter, Mary Wilcox, inherits their tenacity. Born into tragedy, she must survive the upheaval of the Civil War, raise a child, and defend her home against lawless men-proving that even in sorrow, hope can take root.
The final thread is woven by Robert Hillaire Wilcox, who carries the family legacy westward, seeking redemption and purpose in a rapidly changing America. From the plains of Kansas to Oregon's boomtowns, he must decide what kind of man-and patriarch-he will become.
Inspired by the author's discovery of a forgotten Kentucky cemetery in Southeastern Jefferson County, In the Shade of the Sugar Maple blends meticulous historical research with a storyteller's heart. Spanning four generations across a shifting American landscape, this poignant novella interwoven in three parts explores the unbreakable bonds that tie one generation to the next.
Step into the shade of the sugar maple and uncover a family's enduring legacy.
