Shibari and Kinbaku Simplified: The Arts of Japanese Rope Mastery by Johnny E. Brock
A close friend of mine asked me one question, he said, "How did simple ropes become your language of expression?" I looked at him and I began to recall my early days of tangled cords and awkward knots that slowly evolved into moments of pure connection where every time I pull, pause, all of them spoke volumes. That question is only a reminder that growth matters: Shibari and Kinbaku are not just skills, they are conversations between beauty, trust and emotion.
In this book, I draw from years of studying, workshops, seminars and trainings to show you more than techniques and lead you into the heart of beautiful Japanese Rope artistry. Whether you are perfecting your flow, trying emotional depth or shaping your personal voice/style, you will find this book helpful because it will give you clarity and inspire you through every page.

There's no place for a half blood at the gargoyle table.

I've been a shameful secret all my life. Shunned by my pureblood gargoyle father to keep up appearances. But it never mattered because I had Romi.

My half-brother. My best friend. My true family.

Until death took him from me.

They say it was an accident. I say that's bull.

They're hiding something, and the only way to get to the truth is to step into Romi's world.

Stonehaven Academy is where Romi worked with his elite guard to hone the next generation of warriors, and it's where I'll find my answers.

A world where I'll be pitted against pureblood gargoyles and not expected to survive. A world of secrets, revelations, and forbidden fruit in the form of Serath-the lethally beautiful sigma leader of the elite team.

If I want answers, I'll need to get close to the sigma. I'll need to play with fire and be prepared to get burned.

But there's a reason Serath is off limits.

A reason, that could mean the difference between life and death.

Because the Stone Council is hiding a horrific truth.

One, that if revealed, could tear our world apart.

The Stone Initiation is the first book in the Gargoyles of Stonehaven series. A heart-pounding MF paranormal romance that weaves a tale of fated mates and impossible desires, where dark secrets and forbidden passions collide, and a hidden destiny awaits.

"During the halcyon days of the Abstract Expressionist and Imaginative Realism movements, Frank O'Hara was the laureate of the New York art scene."-New York Times

The Collected Poems of Frank O'Hara, edited by Donald Allen and with an introduction by John Ashbery, captures the full range of one of postwar America's most original and influential poets. Born in 1926, O'Hara became the quintessential voice of mid-century Manhattan, evolving a witty, mercurial, and glamorous urban poetry that captured the artistic scene of 1950s to '60s New York. Including poems from his dazzling early experimental verses of the late 1940s to his more reflective work before his untimely death at the age of forty, the collection reveals O'Hara's inventive voice, blending French post-symbolism, surrealist, and Dada techniques and the everyday American experience into a uniquely postmodern poetics. First published posthumously in 1972, this landmark collection affirms Frank O'Hara's central place in American poetry: witty, fantastical, vital.

Wry humor and sharp insight capture the distinctive voice of a young teen forced by his mother's unstable mental health to recalibrate his outlook and build a new life with found family. For fans of Gary D. Schmidt and Rebecca Stead.

An exciting introduction to cinema by the trans creators who are innovating filmmaking to imagine a more inclusive world.

Since the 1990s, a largely underground upwelling of trans creativity has helped new trans identities, communities, and political movements come together. In Trans Cinema, Laura Horak provides an entryway to the wildly diverse and creative cinema made by trans creators, including those who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color. Overlooked until now, this rich collection of media ranges in genre from romantic comedies to horror films and asks essential questions about how to be human and how to craft a livable life in a world on fire.

Using the fundamentals of film studies, Horak reveals the innovative approaches taken by trans and gender-nonconforming artists to explore how we relate to other people, what it's like to have a body, and how we survive in an oppressive society. These filmmakers tackle the challenging paradox of representing trans lives when greater visibility is associated with ever-increasing levels of harm. In the process, they produce art that emphasizes trans survival and resilience and imagines a more expansive world for trans communities.

In How We Heal, La June Montgomery Tabron, President and CEO of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, makes a powerful case for hope through racial healing.

From a vivid portrait of her childhood in 1960s Detroit to her leadership of one of the world's largest philanthropic institutions, La June shares her full-circle, American story--a coming-of-age journey where she gains a firsthand understanding of how systemic racism prevents our children and communities from thriving and learns about the transformative role healing can play in helping all of us transcend the legacy of racial inequity.

As she rises to her position as the first female and first African American leader of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, La June experiences the healing power of sharing and listening with empathy. And with the help of mentors and colleagues, she refines the message that will guide the foundation's mission for years to come: Healing can begin only with truth-telling.

Empowered by the mission set forth by its founder to support children and families "without regard to sex, race, creed, or nationality," the foundation explores a racial healing framework that transforms communities and individuals around the world--from small rural towns and big cities across the United States, including La June's own beloved Detroit, to Mexico, Haiti, and beyond.

This book serves as a testament to the power of transformation and a blueprint for how each of us, no matter who we are or how we lead, can use racial healing to bridge the empathy deficits in our communities.

How We Heal illuminates a path that all of us can follow--from trust to empathy, from understanding to repair--one conversation and one connection at a time.

An heiress with a haunted past enters a marriage of convenience with a man as tempting as the devil himself...and likely just as ruinous.

After a scandalous debut sent her into recluse, heiress Margaret Greenbrier returns to the Louisville social circuit for the 1933 season. Laudanum prescription or no, Margot is not crazy. She's not. But perception is reality, and all the money in the world can't buy the illusion of sanity. Nor, apparently, can it convince even the most red-blooded of men to get into bed with her.

Meanwhile, in the heartland of Kentucky, the Great Depression is sinking its roots into the Bluegrass. Prohibition has not been kind to the whiskey industry, and bourbon aristocrat Merrick Dravenhearst is feeling the squeeze. After a chance encounter with a beautiful heiress, sworn bachelor Merrick impulsively throws his hat in the ring for Margot's hand. Just the right hint of lust, money, and quiet desperation...the best society marriages have been staked on far less, after all.

Upon arrival at Dravenhearst Distilling as a newlywed, Margot uncovers the legend of the Dravenhearst suicide brides-two generations of wives, both found dead on the grounds of the distillery. Her new manor home is teeming with ghostly glimmers of the women who lived there before her. And her brooding, beguiling new husband is unaware Margot has brought demons of her own to his estate, initiating a cataclysmic chain of events set to bring long-buried blood-tinged family secrets to the surface.

The Dravenhearst Brides is a loose retelling of du Maurier's Rebecca and is set on a haunted bourbon distillery estate. With a marriage of convenience love story, a brooding Byronic hero, and ghost brides afoot, this book is perfect for fans of Isabel Canas and Crimson Peak.

"I loved delving into the deeper meanings of our search for new, challenging experiences. It's a unique and fascinating adventure tale. 5 stars!" -Joan Griffin, author of Force of Nature: Three Women Tackle the John Muir Trail

An epic bike ride across the United States turns nearly to tragedy. A rowing journey along the East coast through storms and tidal surges tests physical and mental limits and forces a reckoning with life's priorities. A five-hundred-mile pilgrimage across northern Spain triggers personal and spiritual renewal.

Everest and the Rest of Us: Four Journeys in Search of Adventure delivers an exciting, three-part tale of cross-country cycling, coastal rowing, and trekking on the Camino de Santiago, by turns suspenseful and comic, painful and triumphant. The fourth journey? Examining why we pursue adventure-pushing our limits, the thrill of taking risks and facing danger, renewal that comes from stepping outside our daily routines, personal empowerment from a challenge met-and exploring the gendered and racialized history of adventure.

Most of us will never climb Mt. Everest, surf a fifty-foot monster wave off Hawaii, or row single-handedly across the Atlantic Ocean. But everyone loves a good adventure. Everest and the Rest of Us celebrates the adventurous spirit in us all!
