In the Alien Buddha's Dreams
In The Alien Buddha’s Dreams is made of 183 pages of sweet revelations and spicy night terrors. This lucid, looping collection from 28 dreamers is a cosmic and liminal nocturnal emission of fiction, poetry, and prose.
In “A False Bright Joy” by Kendra Augustin, life’s a dystopian drag when they vaporize your best friend for no good reason. What’s even real anyway? Might as well rebel.

"This book asks you to see James - with everything he is and through the lens of every experience he has had. This may range from the farm in Michigan to visiting Hawaii, but it gives you insight as to who James is."

“Gay Amish people have been excluded from the very start of the Anabaptist movement. We are still oppressed and shunned today. America is quick to laud the Amish for their lifestyle but remains silent on their homophobia. Amish practice shunning which is forced family separation and conversion therapy which is illegal.
The harm caused by the church has led to LGBTQ Amish suicide and physical, emotional and spiritual abuse.
The Amish communities place a great emphasis on their ancestors who were martyred yet today persecute their LGBTQ minority.”

“I just wondered what a thing it would be...if overnight everything you owe anything to, justice, or love, had really gone away. Free.
It would be...heartless terror. Yes. Terrible, and...
Very great. To shed your skin, every old skin, one by one and then walk away, unemcumbered, into the morning.”

“What transforms this world is — knowledge. Do you see what I mean? Nothing else can change anything in this world. Knowledge alone is capable of transforming the world, while at the same time leaving it exactly as it is. When you look at the world with knowledge, you realize that things are unchangeable and at the same time are constantly being transformed.”

“It had been startling and disappointing to me to find out that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they come from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them -- with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself. Still illiterate, I was ready for them, committed to all the reading I could give them ...”

James, hi. Hope all is well. Since we’re Goodreads friends, I thought I’d share my latest novel, Midlife Crisis, with you."Rob Rosen does madcap gay humor better than anyone else writing today. Midlife Crisis is no exception." - Neil Plakcy, author of The Mahu Investigations
I hope you can pick up a copy. As a special thanks for your time, feel free to message me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/therobrosen) for a free PDF copy of any of my other 9 novels, which you can find here: http://www.therobrosen.com
All the best,
Rob Rosen
