The Cul-De-Sac

About The Cul-De-Sac:

Lucas and Bennett Gaines are the newest home owners on Calumny Court. Being a gay couple in their mid-thirties, the two must navigate through the traditional lifestyle of those that live on the cul-de-sac. At every turn, they run into what seems to be a never-ending set of problems with the judgmental and catty neighbors.

Their biggest obstacle comes from Skyler Steller and Zachary Cauderling, gay, entitled, college boys that have lived in the neighborhood for years with their family. Little do the Gaines know that these two scheming college boys have their own hidden agenda that could put their relationship in peril.

Will Lucas and Bennett be able to adapt to the standards and expectations that come with living on the cul-de-sac?

The Worrier: Lucas Gaines
will go out of his way to fit in with the new neighbors.

The Easy-Goer: Bennett Gaines
is oblivious to the judgment and pretension that exists on the cul-de-sac.

The Narcissist: Zachary Cauderling
never takes accountability or responsibility for his actions.

The Conspirator: Skyler Steller
always plays mind games with anyone and everyone.

As if being gay didn’t come with its own set of problems and prejudices already. Try being gay and moving to the cul-de-sac, where there are judges and juries all around you.

Warning: contains sexual situations, hotties dancing shirtless in the club, sexual sabotage, shenanigans in an SUV and proof that being gay in a cul-de-sac can be a sticky situation.

The Chartreuse Garden, The Horrific Murders of Innocents that Compelled Me to Fight Social Injustice and Hate by Jack Castiglione

About The Chartreuse Garden, The Horrific Murders of Innocents that Compelled Me to Fight Social Injustice and Hate by Jack Castiglione:

This book details the true events of the Charles Soper family that resided in a nearby public housing project. I didn’t know that the father struggled with mental illness and drugs, or that, at times, he would act out violently against his wife and their young children.
The housing project was across the street from a large recreational facility which I managed. The park was considered to be an escape from the drudgery of their daily low-income lifestyle, as well as a safe haven for the neighborhood children. Residents of all ages looked up to me as the quasi-authority of the City of Carson. In reality, I was a 22-year-old “kid.” This was my first real job in terms of supporting myself financially.
During my tenure at the park, I came to know Mrs. Soper and especially her son, Roy, who was seven when I first met him. The little tyke would call me his “protector,” and would run to me whenever anyone would tease or bully him. But I never believed Roy was in actual danger, nor did I anticipated the shocking events that followed.
The story is told against the backdrop of my exploration of my sexuality. I grew up wanting to be married and have kids. I was raised that way. But despite my attempts to establish a romantic connection with women, I never happened. My journey of self-discovery included consulting psychologists, participating in the early days of computerized heterosexual dating, researching homosexuality, engaging both female and male prostitutes, and attending an intensive EST-like seminar. I was not afraid or embarrassed to be gay; I just wanted to be certain that I was gay. When it finally came to me, it was like an epiphany—I was a healthy, normal gay man, and proud of it.
As I began to participate in the gay lifestyle, I became painfully aware of the beatings and murders of gay men in my community of Long Beach, CA, often perpetrated with impunity. I thought about Roy and realized that these gay men were also vulnerable and innocent. I surrendered my comfortable, closeted lifestyle and publicly vowed to stop violent assaults against LGBTQ people. I was extremely fortunate in connecting with the new Chief of Police who welcomed me as the official liaison from the gay community to partner with him to stop hate crime. My three-prong approach to stopping gay-bashing, as described in the book, was a success, and I offer it to LGBTQ communities across the country.
Barack Obama wrote to me, “Jack … Our journey as a nation depends, as it always has, on the persistent efforts of people like you – compassionate, caring, and open-minded – who stand up in defense of the notion that love is love and that all of us, no matter who we are or who we love, are worthy of equal dignity, equal respect, and equal protection under the law. … That is the vision for America that Michelle and I share. And I want you to know we will continue standing alongside you.”

Stonewall 1969

About Stonewall 1969:

In 2020 people are still fighting against racism and discrimination of African Americans in the United States and members of the LGBTQ community remember a time in their life when all their happy endings were stolen until Stonewall 1969 happened. Vogue Magazine recently published a feature about the 20 milestones, which defined the LGBTQ rights movement, but things really changed for us when members of the LGBTQ community had enough and decided to fight back against cops on Christopher Street in New York City on that night in June 1969.

“Stonewall 1969” tells the story of heroes standing up against the government and police enforcement not just on that significant night in summer 1969, but also the years before and after the Stonewall Uprising. The author’s new book takes its readers on an exciting journey; it remembers the dark times before the Stonewall Riots when gay people found themselves being harassed and arrested by cops, prosecuted and imprisoned, fired from jobs, and disowned by families.

The book also celebrates, how much the community has achieved since then and how relevant it is to continue this fight in times of the Trump/Pence Presidency. “Stonewall 1969” will also continue with Derek Meyer’s and Josh Fenton’s story, whose lives were significantly impacted by the riots. And while the book discusses the question, if the good always wins and if there are happy endings for us out there, it reminds the rest of us of the importance of believing, fighting, and loving in life.

What does “Stonewall 1969” make so special in these times when we can invent an app, start a blog, and sell stuff online. But if we are writers then we need to have that one book, and if it`s real enough and honest enough and if it reflects everything that made us, where we come from, who we knew and the history of our community then we may have a chance connecting with everyone else.

And maybe that’s our ticket to everything, and perhaps that’s what this book “Stonewall 1969” stands for.

Maiden Voyage: Ryder’s Guardian (Maiden Voyage Series Book 1)

About Maiden Voyage: Ryder’s Guardian (Maiden Voyage Series Book 1):

For Maiden Voyage guitarist, Ryder Hampton, life is great. He and his bandmates are embarking upon an epic European double headlining tour with their friends from Social Sinners with the band Embrace the Fear opening for them.

Since joining Maiden Voyage in his twenties, Ryder’s life has been a whirlwind of the cliched, “Sex, drugs and monumental doses of Rock ‘n Roll. And he’s loved every minute of it from the sold out shows to the revolving door of bed partners.

Max Hightower has always been a team player. Whether it was working with his team in the Marines or now with the private security company, Ventura Security. These days, his job was to have the backs of a band of musicians. One band member in particular he’d allowed to get too close and now emotions were involved.

Ryder Hampton had left his mark on Max’s closed-off heart and now Max’s job was in jeopardy. Falling for your principal wasn’t safe – nor smart. Neither was missing the mark on protecting him and now Max was guilty of both. The security detail he’d begged his boss for had turned out to be the one that could ruin him and shatter his heart too. Max couldn’t allow either option to happen.

Maiden Voyage series must be read in order as each book starts where the last one ended but is from another band members point of view:

1 – Ryder’s Guardian
2 – Derek’s Destiny
3 – Jaxson’s Nemesis
4 – Shadow’s Light
