"We're already looking forward to her second novel."

"Followers of the culture will have plenty to smile about, and so will a wider audience. It's a story about love, and about how difficult it can be to love someone in a world that just doesn't get it when that love wears a different face to what the mainstream world is used to." The author has agreed to the inclusion of the following exclusive extract from the book in this press release: "There is still time and I allow myself to enjoy his company for a while - what can it hurt now. So what if I let myself fall a little deeper in love... for just one last night... before I say goodbye. I will reach deep inside my chest when morning comes and pull my own heart out if it means I can feel this way right now." "Destiel" (ISBN 9780993394041/0993394043: Fiction: Illustrated) is published by Copyhouse Press Ltd of London and goes on worldwide release on December 1st 2015 in paperback.

Portland's Good Theater celebrated Christmas with a delightfully conceived and stylishly performed musical revue, Broadway at the Good Theater, created and directed by Brian P. Allen. Devoted to the music of the 60s and showcasing both Broadway show tunes and other iconic popular melodies, this almost forty-song evening flows seamlessly through the diverse music of the decade. Allen's selection of numbers reads like an index to the masterpieces of that tumultuous decade, and yet, he is astute in selecting some of the lesser-known production numbers together with the undeniable blockbusters. Moreover, he knows how to weave them together subtly to chronicle an era, and he provides musical staging that is characterful, but just right for the context.
