Never Let Me Go tells the true story of how a college professor who coached grade school basketball as a hobby became the man who held that dream in his hands; became Rosenthal's coach and his mentor; how he made Rosenthal his student, his confidant, and eventually his sexual partner, and how that teenager, trapped in the cycle of loyalty, betrayal, denial, secrecy and abuse, found the inner resources to escape and take the first steps toward adulthood.

Poetry. Art. Sci-fi Studies. TOMORROW YOU'LL BE ONE OF US is a collection of poems composed entirely of dialogue from sci-fi movies of the 50s and early 60s, each poem accompanied by an apt and witty illustration. Succinct, resonant, hilarious, and space-age, this is a book that celebrates an era of filmmaking and at the same time creates something entirely new.
The Legend of La Diosa is Chuck Rosenthal's rollicking paean to love, love, love. His story tells us why, when you meet someone you love, you feel as though you've known her/him forever. It's because that's exactly what's happening, you have known that person forever, and journeyed headlong to be face to face at last. Rosenthal's story defies summation but asks the question, "What do you do when you live in the grip of a love you've yet to meet - and it's real." His language cavorts as he spins his audacious tale to focus on happiness as a value. Not many writers dare this because happiness is damned hard to write (and because writers famously now little about it). Fortunately, Chuck Rosenthal knows happiness in love and has lived to tell the tale - the tale of the legend of La Diosa.

Somewhere in rural North Dakota, there is a fictional town called Owl. They don’t have cable. They don’t really have pop culture, but they do have grain prices and alcoholism.

He plays high school football and worries about his weirdness, or lack thereof. Julia Rabia just moved to Owl. A history teacher, she gets free booze and f...
