The Amateur's Guide to Death and Dying: Enhancing the End of Life
by Richard Wagner, Ph.D, ACS
Price: $19.95
Paperback: 352 pages
ISBN: 978-1-61098-199-6
Thousands of people will receive a devastating medical diagnosis this year. And
for most, what follows is a nightmare of anger, shame, loneliness and passivity.
Instead of being encouraged to take a lead role in orchestrating their finales,
they are expected to wait patiently for the curtain to fall. The Amateur’s Guide
is on the cutting edge of death and dying work. It provides an opportunity to
break free from the painful silence our culture imposes on death talk. Whether
filling out a durable power of attorney form, completing a death anxiety survey
or personally designing a unique end-of-life plan, you will be totally involved
and engaged. This unique seminar/support group format exposes you to a myriad of
life situations and moral dilemmas that arise as one faces his/her mortality
head on. Learn from and with people just like you. Ten diverse fictional
characters provide essential role models for enhancing life near death.
Additionally, six presenters, experts in their field, offer timely advice to
help make the end of life less intimidating and more of a rich, poignant
transition. This is about achieving a good and wise death in the context of real
dying, with all its unpredictability, disfigurement, pain, and sorrow. This
workbook is primarily for those currently facing their mortality. But concerned
family and friends, healing and helping professionals, lawyers, clergy,
teachers, students, and those grieving a death will all benefit from joining in.
Because, as we all know, none of us is getting out of here alive.

Secrecy, Sophistry and Gay Sex In The Catholic Church
by Rev. Richard Wagner Ph.D., ACS
Price: $19.95
Paperback: 253 pages
ISBN: 978-1-61098-212-2
For centuries homosexuals have been vilified and persecuted by the Catholic
Church, but the Church has always had a very inconvenient secret. Many of its
clergy, even those in the highest echelons of the Church, were and are
homosexual. Little was known of the lives these religious people lived until
the publication, in 1981, of the groundbreaking, Gay Catholic Priests; A
Study of Cognitive and Affective Dissonance.
Richard Wagner is the author of that study and he is a gay priest. The
media firestorm that erupted after its publication and the backlash within his
religious community because of its publication eventually destroyed his public
priesthood. This story of his 13-year battle with the Church to save his
ministry exemplifies the spiritual isolation, emotional distress and
ecclesiastical reprisals every gay priest most fears.
Secrecy, Sophistry And Gay Sex In The Catholic Church
provides an intimate and sometimes disturbing look into the unseemly
inner-workings of the Catholic Church. It is a detailed account of the Church's
take-no-prisoners attitude in stamping out whatever they perceive as a threat,
especially if the threat comes from within.

Kink And The City: An Englishman in New York
by John Smith
Price: $17.95
Paperback: 186 pages
ISBN: 978-1-61098-021-0
This is the true story of John Smith. A man who discovered that unsuspectingly
renting a room from a professional Dominatrix at the tender age of sixteen tends
to influence character development. Years of playing in the London spanking and
fetish scene followed until one day, unexpectedly, his fun and games came to an
end. Now, almost a decade later, he’s moving to Manhattan and determined to seek
out other like-minded people to share his interests once again. Kink and the
City is the hilarious account of what happened next.
Without a drug addled past or even an abusive childhood to excuse his
predilections he throws himself in where angels fear to tread. From downtown to
midtown and out to the Hampton’s he pursues his bizarre interests, dealing with
recalcitrant housewives and adult schoolgirls, fearsomely skilled dominants,
body building Amazonians, rabid fetishists, nervous dominatrices and spanking
fanatics. Taking us on a very real voyage of discovery though the subculture of
kink in Gotham, the author opens each new door with trepidation and holds it
open for the reader to experience every new encounter, each more outrageous than
the next…

The leatherboy Handbook
by Vincent Andrews
Price: $19.95
Paperback: 184 pages
ISBN: 978-1-887895-67-5
In the past when a potential leatherboy has asked me, where do I start I
had to guide them to a dozen publications and even then the information was
incomplete. Now the answer is simple, The leatherboy Handbook! This
book is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in the “boy subculture”.
Vincent Andrews draws on his own experiences in the leather community as well as
some of the best source material available to create what will surely become the
companion volume to Larry Townsend’s Leatherman’s Handbook.
In a clear and concise voice with numerous references, “boy vince” has
created a goldmine for the budding leatherboy, no matter what his gender. Most
importantly, this book explains much of the “why” behind the boy experience, and
that is the key to its value. I heartily recommend this book for both boys and
Daddys, subs and Doms. It is a good read and a requisite for any leather/kink
library. |
