From our first encounter, our rivalry has been escalating, spiralling out of control.

After all, she has a great family, a goofy group of friends, a rocky romantic history, and dreams of being a music photographer. Growing up in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley, Maggie Gonzalez has always been a little messy, but she’s okay with that. ![]() In this voice-driven young adult debut by Andrea Mosqueda, Maggie Gonzalez needs a date to her sister's quinceañera-and fast. ![]() ![]() ![]() Understand the myriad ways in which these problems impact overall health and quality of life and relationshipsĭevelop psychological tools to neutralize ongoing stressors and live more fully Recognize mental and emotional health problems In The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health, psychologist and African American mental health expert Rheeda Walker offers important information on the mental health crisis in the Black community, how to combat stigma, spot potential mental illness, how to practice emotional wellness, and how to get the best care possible in system steeped in racial bias. ![]() This book is an exploration of Black mental health in today’s world, the forces that have undermined mental health progress for African Americans, and what needs to happen for African Americans to heal psychological distress, find community, and undo years of stigma and marginalization in order to access effective mental health care. ![]() Black people die at disproportionately high rates due to chronic illness, suffer from poverty, under-education, and the effects of racism.

To achieve this generic hybrid, Hawk must rework Lovecraft's poetics of atmosphere, plot, and character to craft emotion-driven narratives leading to romance fiction's required "happily ever after" endings. Queering Lovecraft's fictional world, however, is a more complex process than merely confronting a same-sex couple with Lovecraftian dangers. In an ominously familiar 1890s New England setting, antiquarian scholar Percival Endicott Whyborne and ex-Pinkerton private detective Griffin Flaherty confront the obstacles to their prohibited relationship even as they contend with dark family secrets, deranged sorcerers, and re-emergent Old Ones. ![]() Hawk's Whyborne and Griffin series (2012-2019) blend two seemingly incompatible genres: Lovecraftian weird fiction and male/male paranormal romance.

White journalists are blind to what blacks see clearly. Still, despite their contributions, blacks continue to be abused and insulted. Like Shakespeare’s Moor, they too have been of service to the state, from chopping cotton to helping build the Capitol. African-Americans are history’s orphans, deprived of what is rightfully theirs: a proud and vital heritage. Zipporah, wife of Moses, was black, too, claims Robinson. (Little is said about Muslim influence or black participation in the evil trade.) That the ancient Egyptians were Africans as dark as any others is a given. With the angry fervor of a street preacher and the artful rhetoric of a talented polemicist, Robinson’s impassioned brief offers a sampling of little-known black history and the somewhat better-known story of slavery perpetrated by profiteering whites. Robinson (Defending the Spirit, 1998), influential chief of the lobbying group TransAfrica, presents the long overdue bill, on behalf of America’s blacks, for centuries of social and economic abuse. ![]() ![]() ![]() The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first.
