Poems from a Resurrected Heart
by Nori Billett
Nori is based in Bangor.
Genre: POETRY/ LGBTQ+
About the Book:
Poems from a Resurrected Heart is an enthralling collection of poems which captures the catharsis of both a loving and lamenting heart. This was written as a journey of healing and moving on from grief to love, spanning five years up to now; crafting it into emotive works of poetry.
In this collection, there are poems to appeal to all audiences ranging from: pure unconventional love, the experiences of the LGBTQ and narratives of society including conservatism and religious influence. With a careful mix of traditional forms, like the metaphysical genre and contemporary free verse, each poem has been intrinsically shaped to address their crux, giving every reader the chance to reflect upon their experiences in light of my own.
The aim of this collection is for emotional self-reflection through the medium of someone whose life experiences may differ to yours, but through the raw, emotional transparency and intelligent poetic craft of this collection, even those most different to me may be brought to tears.

Compilation of Short Stories
by Terence Edward Collier
Terence is based in Cornwall.
Genre: FICTION/ Romance / LGBTQ+ / Gay
About the Book:
Have you ever been in love? Ever wanted to be in love? Or thought, ‘I’ve had enough of love – it’s so overrated’. Perhaps you’ve sat on the bus or the train going to work and every day the same guy sits opposite you and gives that nod and a smile that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and you think, ‘Yes, he is the one’. Or maybe you’ve already met the man of your dreams and knew instantly you would spend the rest of your life with him. Lucky you! Or had your heart broken so many times that when the right guy did come along, you turned and ran a mile.
How about the guy you went to school with, the tough sporty type who always had the girls fawning over him, but you bump into him one day, chat and arrange to meet up for drinks, only to find out that he was in love with you all the time. Relationships in the straight world can be fickle at the best of times, but hey, in the ‘Gay’ arena of life, there are normally no rules except when cupid, that little devil, pokes you both with that pink fluffy arrow, and then… nothing else matters except LOVE.

The Naked Gender Transient:
An Origin and History of Intersex and Transgender
by Phaedra J. Kelly
Phaedra is based in Isle of Wight.
Genre: SOCIAL SCIENCE/ LGBTQ+ Studies / Transgender Studies
About the Book:
Transgender and Intersex identities have long been portrayed as abstract phenomena, lacking a clear origin, purpose, or unified identity. Until now, no writer has dared to explore the key factors that affirm the humanity of a vast global community, often dismissed as nothing more than a marginal subculture.
Drawing on a lifetime of study, Phaedra J. Kelly – social anthropologist, human rights troubleshooter, historian, archaeologist, and theologian – illuminates these vital, overlooked aspects. In this groundbreaking work, Kelly uncovers a hidden cultural identity, establishes a historical timeline, and reveals a five-thousand-year genocide. On behalf of the TG/IS nations within nations, Kelly presents a mindset that challenges much of what has recently been enacted in the name of TG, offering a perspective from a faction that, until now, had no clear voice of its own.
Readers will be surprised, newly informed, and, for some, shamed.
