    The Bookworm Sez

    “Tomorrow Will Be Different” by Sarah McBride

    288 pages

    Things are never as bad as they seem.

    There’s always a brighter spot if you just look for it, always something to be thankful for, a way of making yourself feel better because things aren’t as they seem. As in the new book “Tomorrow Will Be Different” by Sarah McBride, there’s always a chance to make a change.

    Author Jean Ryan Releases ‘Strange Company’ Essay Collection

    January 23, 2017 /

    I’m a longtime fan of author Jean Ryan and could not be happier to announce the release of her new essay collection Strange Company. Jean is a true wordsmith. Each of her essays, short stories and reminiscences offers readers a master class in word choice, rhythm, nuance and style, while never being obvious. It’s the kind of writing other writers wish we’d done, while at the same time asking, ‘How did she do that?’

    Her short story Manatee Gardens was included in the anthology Outer Voices Inner Lives, a Lambda Literary Award finalist in 2015. I was the co-eidtor and publisher, and we put Jean’s story first for a simple reason: among many fine pieces in the anthology, there were none better.

    Ann Aptaker’s Genuine Gold (Cantor Gold Crime Series Book 3) breaks the top 100 on Amazon’s LGBT mystery best seller list on release, look for swift climb up. Check out my interview with the author HERE.

    From the book’s description:

    New York, 1952. From the shadowy docks of Athens, Greece, to the elegance of a Fifth Avenue penthouse, to the neon glare of Coney Island, art smuggler Cantor Gold must track down an ancient artifact, elude thugs and killers, protect a beautiful woman who caters to Cantor’s deepest desires, and confront the honky-tonk past which formed her. Memories, murder, passion, and the terrible longing for her stolen love tangle in Cantor’s soul, threatening to tear her apart.
