Pride Park: An Anthology to support LGBT freedom
On June 12, 2016, the LGBT+ community was deeply shaken. 49 people were killed and 53 injured in a terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Pulse was a gay club, and the attack took place as a crowd gathered to watch a Puerto Rican drag queen. The heartbreak felt personal.
This book was born from a desire to do more than just offer prayers. Pride Park is an attempt to create something lasting. It includes stories and poems from coast to coast, and around the world.

Each story is connected in some way to the fictional location of Pride Park, a safe space for the LGBT+ community where the graffiti at the entrance reads “Pride. Hope. Love.” The book raises funds for The Trevor Project, offering help to LGBT+ youth in crisis.
Written by those in the community and allies, Pride Park is a safe place to heal, inspire, love, and most of all...hope.

About the author
Rachel A. Brune
33 books100 followersRachel A. Brune graduated from the NYU Tisch School of the Arts in May 2000, and was immediately plunged into the low-stakes world of entry-level executive assistant-ship. Her unexpected journey out of that world and into the military is chronicled in her self-published book Echoes and Premonitions.
Rachel served five years as a combat journalist, including two tours in Iraq, and a brief stint as a columnist for her hometown newspaper. After her second tour, she attended graduate school at the University at Albany in NY, where she earned her MA in Political Communication, and her commission as a second lieutenant in the military police corps.
Although her day job has taken in her in many strange, often twisted directions, Rachel continues to write and publish short fiction. She released her first novel, Soft Target, in early 2013. In addition to writing for the online military interest zine "Task & Purpose," she blogs her thoughts about reading and the writing life at The Infamous Scribbler.
