On the verge of turning thirty, Gabriel Bocanegra plans a trip to Mexico—and then his mother tags along, steering him to an isolated, rural outpost in Northern Mexico to visit their widowed aunt who lives alone with her dog.
 
An over-protective mother. A foul-mouthed widow and her friends. A dog named Chocolate that killed chickens and another that liked to play dead. 

This isn't the adventure Gabriel had in mind--but it's one he won't soon forget. 

CRY ME A RIO is an atmospheric travel story about borders and family baggage, the physical divide between Texas and Mexico, and the emotional crossing one young man makes into adulthood, claiming his independence from the mother who raised him.All Rights Reserved

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️ by Iris-hope

"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.

Where the heart settles by pietermdg

This is a coming-of-age novel that handles LGBTQ+ themes with sensitivity and authenticity. The book follows multiple interconnected storylines centered around Jim, a gay teenager who moves to his uncle Henri's farm after being orphaned, and Caro, his childhood friend from a working-class Latino family who grapples with his own sexuality and identity. This book was created in collaboration with Claude Sonnet 4 AI. Its primary use was for dialogue generation and ensuring style consistency, as well as providing authentic vocabulary. My role as the author involved significant human creativity, extensive editing, and refinement of the AI's output to shape the final narrative.
