Summary:

Lovable loner Casey Isaac thinks romance isn’t for him. Not since extraordinary events left him with supernormal powers and a great deal of trauma. But when Oscar Kenzari looks at him, he can’t help but change his mind.

As Divinators, Casey and Oscar have used their psychic powers to defend humanity from sentient, extradimensional storms for one hundred years.

But a storm more powerful than any before is brewing. MaalenKun, prince of the maelstrom, conqueror of countless realities, plans to turn the tables by infecting Casey’s mind.

MaalenKun is not the only threat.

Casey and Oscar must determine who they can trust: the eccentric trillionaire keeping them in the dark, the independent contractors with secrets of their own, or a seemingly helpful extradimensional being shrouded in mystery.

As Casey works to defeat threats around and within himself, he must open to love for his chosen family, for Oscar, and for himself to unlock a transformative power capable of banishing MaalenKun. And Oscar must make a difficult choice that could cost him the future he dreams of.

Can Casey and Oscar’s love break the storm?

 

The Lovers Trilogy Book 2

Summary:

As deadly living storms threaten to destroy the world, a crew of Queer warriors must harness their supernatural powers and their deepest emotions to stave off cosmic annihilation.

For over a century, Casey Isaac and the valiant crew aboard The Queen have defended their planet from extradimensional storms that threaten humanity’s very existence. But their most perilous battle lies ahead: the Crimson Chain, a lethal cult, is hellbent on unleashing MaalenKun the Shadow, a dark force from the deepest dimension with a singular goal—devouring the entire cosmos.

To stop this world-ending catastrophe, Casey and his crewmates must outpace the Crimson Chain and recover the Shadow’s aureate relics—powerful tools that in the wrong hands could obliterate reality, but under Casey’s control, could shatter the Shadow itself. As they embark on this desperate quest to save the universe, Casey is also driven by a personal mission to rescue his long-lost lover, Oscar.

Lovers in Arms is a soulbending sci-fi saga that combines heart-pounding space opera with a sizzling LGBTQ+ romance. As Casey and Oscar tap into their justified rage and unbreakable bonds, they uncover the true force propelling them—love worth fighting for, love worth living for.

Join them in a journey through multiple dimensions where courage, love, and resilience light the way against the encroaching darkness.

 

The Lovers Trilogy Book 3

Summary:

As reality fractures in the teeth of a primordial hunger, love may be the last force strong enough to resist annihilation.

MaalenKun the Shadow devours entire realities, leaving behind only silence and ruin—and now its hunger is fixed on Earth. As storms of living darkness fracture space and the Crimson Chain High Sages hasten the end of all things, one crew stands between annihilation and everything they love.

Casey Isaac has faced the impossible before. But nothing has tested him like this. Not the weight of prophecy. Not the burden of ancient relics. Not even the truth of who he is becoming.

At his side are the warriors who have forged him in battle and in love: Oscar Kenzari, whose heart burns as fiercely as his power; Harjaz Hasenstein, budding master of universal technology; and Zinwara Osei, blade-bright and unflinching in the face of cosmic terror. Together aboard The Queen, they must confront an enemy that cannot simply be destroyed—and a fate that may demand everything.

Across a battered planet and shattered dimensions, through psychic battlegrounds and overwhelming assaults, the crew fights not only for survival, but for connection. For chosen family. For the radical belief that love is not weakness—but strength.

End as Lovers is the epic conclusion of The Lovers Trilogy—a bold fusion of epic sci-fi, LGBTQ+ romance, and cosmic myth—where faith is an act of rebellion, love is a weapon, and the fate of the universe depends on who we choose to be when everything unravels.

Lunatic (Lily Lechler - New Orleans, LA)

  “Lunacy” comes from the moon,  Who cycles through brilliance and darkness  Bipolarity’s patterns are not so easily assumed  Opposites not so well harnessed Who cycles through brilliance and darkness?  The girl who sits in bed, wrestling with  Opposites. Not so well harnessed As she thought, her brain gives reason the slip The girl who sits in bed, wrestling with Her body, depressed, her thoughts manic.

Let That Fucker Burn (John Chenvert - Napoleonville, LA)

Let that fucker burn. Let the fire crackle like the whips once did— like bone meeting leather, like screams swallowed by the trees. Let the white columns crumble to ash. Not as tragedy— but as truth, unearthing itself from beneath generations of silence. Nottoway is not a mansion. It’s a mausoleum. A lie carved in stone to honor the hands that held the whip, not the backs that bore it. They called it the “White Castle.” A place of beauty. A place for weddings, for photo ops, for pretending that horror can be made elegant if the curtains match the guilt. But no paint can cover what happened there. Blood doesn’t wash out with white linens. And pain doesn’t forget just because you renamed it history. I’m not Black. And I won’t pretend to carry that weight. But I also won’t ignore it. My people—the Guanches—were taken too. Our language silenced. Our land stolen. Our names nearly erased. So yes, I know colonization. Yes, I know what it means to be disappeared. But I also know this— my skin ...
