An unforgettable coming of age novel for fans of 13 Reasons Why,
It’s Kind of a Funny Story, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Fifteen-year-old Jeff wakes up on New Year’s Day to find himself
in the hospital—specifically, in the psychiatric ward. Despite
the bandages on his wrists, he’s positive this is all some huge
mistake. Jeff is perfectly fine, perfectly normal; not like the
other kids in the hospital with him. But over the course of the
next forty-five days, Jeff begins to understand why he ended up
here—and realizes he has more in common with the other kids than
he thought. “With a sprinkling of dark humor and a full measure
of humanness, Suicide Notes is quirky, surprising, and a riveting
read.†—Ellen Hopkins, author of The You I’ve Never
Known and Love Lies Beneath “Like the very best teen novels,
Suicide Notes is both classic and edgy, timeless and
provocative.†—Brent Hartinger, author of Geography Club
“Makes a powerful emotional impact.†—Publishers Weekly
(starred review) “Jeff’s wit and self-discovery are refreshing,
poignant, and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny.†—School Library
Journal
"I'm pretty sure I'm the only guy in my school who can replace a
faulty kick-down switch and also create the perfect smoky eye." The
Weyward family has been haunted by a curse for generations-if a
Weyward falls in love before their seventeenth birthday, the person
they love dies. Sam doesn't plan to fall for anyone in the weeks
before his birthday. He'll spend his time working at the
Eezy-Freeze with his dad; cooking up some midsummer magic with his
grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother (the
Grands); and experimenting with drag with the help of the queens at
the Shangri-La, the local gay club. But when a new guy comes to
town, Sam finds himself in trouble when they strike up a friendship
that might be way more than that. As Sam's birthday approaches and
he still hasn't quite fallen in love, the curse seems to get more
powerful and less specific about who it targets. A mysterious girl
Sam talks to on the phone late at night and a woman he's only seen
in a dream might have the answers he's been looking for-but time is
running out to save the people he cares about.

From Michael Thomas Ford, the critically acclaimed author of Last
Summer and Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me, comes this sizzling
collection of fantasies culled from more than a decade of his best
erotic work. These stories of heat, lust, desire, need, and
transformation-an Olympian bacchanal, a chance meeting in the men's
room, an S&M-fueled "coaching" session, a police officer who'll
do what it takes to get a confession-are as incredibly hot as they
are exquisitely crafted. There's "Becoming Al," an "X-rated
Flannery O'Connor story" that takes place on the stage at a male
peep show. The mosh pit of an underground club brings two punks to
the edge and over in the adrenaline-charged "Diving the Pit." A
gorgeous window washer gives a worker drone some high-rise sex in
"Washing Up." And the power of a young man's first sexual
awakening-and the reunion it inspires twenty years later-lies at
the heart of the achingly sensual "The Boys of Summer." Along the
way, Ford turns up the heat by confessing the naughty personal
thoughts that inspired his steamiest erotica. A visit to his
incredibly sexy dentist led to Ford's delicious story of one
explosive oral exam in "The Check Up." The summer sounds drifting
up from the New York City streets on a hot summer night influenced
Ford's sinfully sexy voyeuristic fantasy, "Wednesday, 2 A.M." A
hunky conductor on a commuter train gave Ford lustful thoughts and
a whole new meaning for the term "Riding the Rails." And the
discovery of anonymous nude Polaroids gave birth to the
no-holds-barred "Dirty Pictures." Hard-core, tender, imaginative,
candid, and just plain hot, these stories prove that when it comes
to erotica that's down-and-dirty AND intelligent, nobody does it
better than Michael Thomas Ford.
