27 December – Dari & Rob continues their story in “Gigi’s Surprise” from JMS Books!

Coming 27 December from JMS Books, the Gigi duo of Dari & Rob continuing planning for their future together:

LONG BLURB:
After years apart and a joyful reunion, Special Agent Rob and Forensic Psychology student Dari are finally together and working out the details of their future. Yet during an in-home “get-away” weekend, Rob gifts Dari with a surprise they’ve craved all their life but also reveals a decision contradicting everything his partner has known about him. Their love is strong, their relationship committed, but how will such major changes affect their survival as a couple in a climate of political upheaval?

SHORT BLURB:
After years apart, Special Agent Rob and forensic psychology student Dari are finally a couple, but an in-home “get-away” weekend brings both joyful surprises and anxiety causing revelations about the future.

SOCIAL MEDIA BLURB:
Some surprises and revelations can give even happy couples anxiety!


Here’s Dari and Rob’s first story, “Gigi!” where you learn how they met and fell in love at a little convenience store in Deep South Alabama. If you read the genre, and would like a copy, let me know!

Description: “Too effeminate, too soft, too brown, Darren was a disappointment to his ex-military father almost since birth, but growing up in a small-town Alabama middle-class family, he lived a comfortable if lonely life … until coming out. Soon homeless with little more than the clothes on his back, he found work in a convenience store, living in the moment, shell-shocked and quietly hurting.

Rob barely survived the foster care system and set himself the goal of becoming a special agent, keeping others safe and protecting those in need. A job at the gas station is a means to that end, paying for his college courses while he hones his body and mind. Focused, driven, and disciplined … until he meets Darren. Will he risk his future to teach the vulnerable young man survival skills of the heart and body, or is there no chance for them to have a happy ending?”

Summary:

“Contemporary Indigenous popular culture is a dynamic and expansive cultural field that has been gaining momentum since the turn of the twenty-first century. This edited collection brings together contributions by scholars, artists and practitioners who work with and in the field of Indigenous popular culture in various capacities, from different standpoints and in a range of geopolitical contexts. This approach aims at promoting a dialogue between diverse sites of knowledge production of and on the Indigenous popular at the same time as it reflects the multivocal, multimedial and multisited landscape of contemporary Indigenous popular culture. The contributions in the volume engage both the poetics and the politics of IndigePop, showcasing the creative and celebratory energies of Indigenous popular culture and Indigenerdity as well as their societal significance vis-à-vis Indigenous resistance, resurgence and political struggles.”

Description: Former model-turned-actor Adrian Lee can barely list age range 23–29 on his résumé anymore, nor stand his life of empty social events and appearances, meaningless roles, and casual partners. When he meets Alexander Skizetsky by clever arrangement of his agent, the enigmatic yet infinitely attractive Russian kindles a little light of hope in his aching heart. Yet even the beginnings of a friendship and love beyond his wildest dreams cannot stop a life spiraling out of control.

The long estrangement from his devout Irish Catholic parents and family and the dark secrets they all share combine to drive Adrian to the brink of despair, though Alexander becomes determined to stay by his side. After locking away his own memories of betrayal and loss, Lexx had decided never to love again, but something in Adrian spurs the noblest intentions in his formerly jaded heart.

Returning in pilgrimage to Alexander’s homeland, on a journey of rebirth, revelation, and redemption, can they escape the ghosts of their pasts to find true love together?

NOTE: This book contains references to childhood sexual assault that might disturb some readers.

Call for Participants – Filming restarted for #ALMOST #Documentary – #Indigeneity #GenderDiversity & #Stigma

Untitled

FILMING HAS RESTARTED FOR ALMOST! WE ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING PARTICIPANTS, SO PLEASE  APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

ALMOST was first developed to be a short #documentary film with unique animated storytelling and live scenes, which it still will be, but additionally, I will create a #webseries where episodes feature participants who wish to further share their journey. Other components, such as the spider symbolism will also be explained further, as the web series will supplement and expand the main documentary’s themes and topics.

Description: Focusing on the intersection of realities, identities and Indigeneity, and the concept of being enough, no matter what or who you are.

“Almost normal.
Almost acceptable.
Almost Indigenous.

Half, a quarter, a fraction, a piece.
Gender, sexuality, ethnicity, cognitive or physical dis-/abilities.
Toxic beliefs, ableist and racist structures in society continue to harm.

Some are embracing their differences in order to heal…and they’re connecting.”

PARTICIPANTS WILL NEED TO BE:

1) Over the age of 18 at the time of filming
2) Be willing to sign an agreement for use of their likeness and footage in this project
3) Have an understanding Indigenous and original peoples exist across the world, including Europe, but priority will be given to those connected to or reconnecting to their cultures

Please view the trailer here or on Vimeo, and read through the information currently available on this website, such as the story, the spider and the director’s pages. Red Haircrow, who was awarded the 2023  Ma’’ingan Scholarship for their work as an early career psychologist in gender expansive support and research, has their personal website also, which can be found here https://redhaircrow.com/.
