Nordameris by H. M. Tavares

Nordameris: An Astrological Novel follows fifteen pivotal days in Renato’s life. The futuristic story blends mystery, romance, and comedy as Renato navigates challenges of balance between passivity and aggression, the personal and the political, love and hate, healing and death, and the human and the machine.

While reading about an assassination attempt on the founder of the Pristine Cult inside a combibus, Renato faints, triggering memories of childhood bullying at an orphanage in Transluz. Now in Nordameris, they participate in a research experiment to address painful memories and find self-acceptance, doubting its efficacy. The influence of Pluto on their natal Venus in Gemini becomes apparent when a mysterious stranger from Transluz enters their life, leading Renato to realize the interconnectedness of their past, present, and future.

PRIDE SPOTLIGHT: Celebrating LGTBQ+ Authors & Books

This month we are celebrating our LGTBQ+ authors and books with LGTBQ+ themes and characters. Each book, story and shared experience paves the way towards a more inclusive future. It helps people see from a different perspective, and perhaps, increase understanding and change attitudes. Sharing a personal experience with the public isn’t easy but it is empowering. Thank you for sharing your story.
