If you see a trans kid today, be extra nice to them. Make them smile. Make them laugh. Show them they matter.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Book cover of Third and Long in black text with a couple behind the title, him in a football jersey, and a child and black dog in a red therapy dog vest below the title.

Looking for a perfect football romance to complement your #SuperBowl excitement? May I recommend Third and Long, a sweet sports romance where love is a four-legged word?

Two people are facing one another. On the left is Tamlin, who is tall with long, wavy brown hair with primroses in it. The faerie wears a plaid in various shades of green with leafy embellishments. Tamlin’s smiling down at the woman, gently holding her chin with his thumb. Lark, the woman on the right, has long, tawny hair tied halfway back with a thin ribbon, a white rose behind her left ear. She wears a long sleeved dress in a sandy color and holds a basket full of flower in the crook of her arm. Lark is looking up at Tamlin. The two are surrounded by rose bushes in pastel colors. The image is framed in black with an intricate bronze border. In the foreground there is the title in white letters with purple borders: “My Thorns For Your Roses” with the author’s name “Kristen Argyres” below. In small text above the woman, next to the man’s head are the words “The Cairnwood Reel Series.” The book cover is flanked on either side by decorative a rose pattern to fill out the space.
