Mae Kellerman is content. After forty years of ups and downs, she has a meaningful job at a queer community center in Portland, Oregon. She has an apartment full of plants, a ride-or-die group of friends.
Until the day her best friend actually does up and die. Leaving Mae with a hole in her heart-and a shocking amount of money.
But before she can think about that, she has to throw his perfect death party, followed by spreading his ashes on the Oregon Coast. It's there that she stumbles upon an empty storefront for sale in the tiny whale-watching town of Greyfin Bay. Overnight, an old dream resurfaces...and Mae's newfound inheritance could make it possible.
If only Dell McCleary didn't stand in her way.
Dell only sells property to the folks actually invested in the best interests of Greyfin Bay. Not some Portlander with pink hair who breezes in on a whim. A Portlander who, irritatingly, refuses to take no for an answer.
As Mae upends her life for the pursuit of opening a queer-owned bookstore in a conservative coastal town, she and Dell are forced to work together, navigating prejudices and past traumas along the way. But as opening day of Bay Books grows nearer, Mae's heart grows increasingly tangled with her landlord's-even if his own heart might already belong to someone else.
Heartwaves is a contemporary queer romance that explores the risks and rewards of life in any landscape, and the freedom to lift the limitations we put on love.

How long, exactly, had June been coming to Moonie's for the sole purpose of pining after the bartender?
Long enough to know, probably, that there was no good reason for Mal Edwards, a bastion of stability and good sense, to see any kind of future with June anyway. Was it even fair to express feelings to a woman like that when June was barely around, on the road more than she wasn't?
But as another Pride weekend approaches, June's fiftieth birthday and the eventual end of her long-haul trucking days loom in her mind, nestled against the memories of Moonie's nights gone by where it felt like June and Mal came close-close to something happening, something real. Until June would inevitably chicken out, and retreat once again to life on the road.It's time for June to finally figure out her next act. And if she's not brave enough to ask Mal Edwards to be part of it, she doesn't deserve her, anyway.
After all. If you can't tell a butch you love her during Pride, when the hell can you?
If there is one thing in this world that many of us have not avoided, it is to love and to have been loved. To love is as certain as death. To be loved is slightly more complicated because one can always know what one feels, but how do we know the sincerity of the love that others have for us?
Massiel Alfonso uses her melancholy in this literary piece, giving voice to her feelings in a walk through vulnerability, and what it means to deposit your essence and invest your capacity to care for humans without the capacity to value and appreciate your openness to trust someone else.
Handful of poems is the perfect example of resilience. It is to experience poems connecting with your emotions as they emerge. This collection of poems will strike every fiber of your being with each word, as you feel flowers being born inside all the scars caused by forgetting about yourself and becoming that person that someone else wanted to possess.
Each chapter will take you on a reflective journey through your heart making you appreciate with maturity each failed relationship that took you from a hurtful situation to being renewed and becoming a heart-full person.

From immigrant shoemaker to multimillionaire, this is the extraordinary life story of Sam Israel.
Sam Israel was one of the Pacific Northwest's most eccentric, controversial, and enigmatic characters. An immigrant Sephardic Jewish shoemaker of humble beginnings, Israel arrived in Seattle in 1919 and thanks to savvy investing, came to own hundreds of properties in Seattle and around the state. This impressive assemblage included dozens of buildings in downtown Seattle and thousands of acres in western and eastern Washington and was valued at the time of his death in 1994 at more than $40 million.
Always a challenging and independent-minded person, Sam moved to central Washington in 1960, and his reputation as a reclusive, absentee landlord grew. To his immediate family he was the revered Uncle Sam, but to others he remained a mystery.
Late in life, Sam Israel became known for his love of the outdoors, his devotion to Jewish faith and history, and his generous support of numerous community organizations, from the Seattle Hebrew Academy to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and various wildlife and archaeological organizations in the United States and the State of Israel. He carried his faith in G-d, his Jewish identity, and a sense of personal responsibility for Jews and non-Jews from his home to the community and across the world. Sam never married, and upon his death in 1994 his properties became a key part of historic preservation in Seattle and the growth of the arts community in Pioneer Square. Through the foundation he established, his fortune funded Jewish education for future generations. Today, the Samis Foundation carries on Sam Israel's legacy, living and funding the heart of Sam's motto: We are our brother's keeper.
