Simple in its narrative, it is still powerful. The story is a tale told from the view of a thirteen-year-old boy who has been in trouble and wishes to escape punishment, but more than this, it is also about his quest for the legendary city of El Dorado that many adventurers before our hero have attempted and failed to find.This could well be the first of many books that Talero writes, and as a first novel is exceptional. It was a rewarding experience to delve into the mind of this unique author through his story. Be prepared for a precarious and often emotional journey through the landscape of Colombia as well as a lone boy's heart.

"Honest, funny, timely little stories. Raw. These poems read as if composed of the broken speech scattered around the edges of a very big Quiet. Funny, insightful, playful and painful at times. Who is Hector? I'll let you find out." - Malcolm Van Delst, Author of Do the Wrong Thing "Cocking's poems are well-honed, like a scalpel. Sharp enough to slice cleanly to the heart; to dissect her subjects and lay them open for you to see their inner details." - Christine Grimard, Contributor to Saving Seeds "Hollering back at paltry domination, the poems in Hector transgress the fictions of now with rare and essential human things: truth, brilliance, thought and heart uncompromised. Here, intensities of knowledge & experience burst traditional confines and reset us, call us out, insist a world with all of us in it." - Shauna Paull, Author of roughened in undercurrent

Fables, Fictions, and Fantasies: A Compendium is a collection of thirteen short stories that feature several revenge schemes; three adventures in customer service; a few accidental deaths; a vegan stripper defending herself from zombie attack; and a little girl finding the cupcake of her dreams. Quill & Quire said: "What? We've never heard of her, sorry." The Georgia Strait said: "Stop sending us email, weirdo." Everybody else seemed to laugh while reading it, though. Except for the first story. And the one about pirates. And . . . ok, fine: everybody laughed at the funny ones, just not the ones that are kinda sad.

Queer Elders Tell Their Stories. In Canada, much has changed for LGBTQ-identified people over the past generation. This project has allowed older LGBTQ+ adults to share their stories - with each other, with their loved ones, and with the LGBTQ+ youth who have been integral to Sharing our Journeys. The stories in this anthology are of the pain and ridicule of being different, courage in the face of ostracism, of same-sex love when it was illegal.
