Deportes
Spanning the first half of the twentieth century, Deportes uncovers the hidden experiences of Mexican male and female athletes, teams and leagues and their supporters who fought for a more level playing field on both sides of the border.

Inner Thoughts
LIFE ON EARTH IS FAR FROM PERFECT. THATS WHY ELDERS OF THE PLANET OGAN, A PERFECT world populated by intelligent trees, have sent Ogos there. His mission is simple; eradicate pain and misery. From his landing spot in a city park, Ogos watches the world go by; creating a zone of peace and comfort around him that touches everyone who steps into his cool shade. A group of park-goers adore the tree that never wilts, and they find themselves consistently drawn to Ogos, who has the power to cure their minds and their bodies. It seems that Ogos can cure everything, from homelessness to illness. But there is one thing that Ogos does not have the power to change, and that is his own isolation, for as a tree, he cannot experience the same life as his newfound friends. On this new, imperfect planet, how can Ogos make a difference and be truly happy? So, he found a way to become human. This is a story about kindness, about selflessness, and togetherness in a world that insists on the opposite.

Beyond This Vale of Tears
The decades after his migration from Cuba in October of 1962 had helped to block out the horrific realities of the revolution, but not the sadness and unrest he still experienced. From childhood and through his adult life, Maximo Gomez questioned what his life was meant for, and not receiving an answer, he found peace only in retreat and solitude. In September of 1997, as he grieved his father's death, he received an otherworldly commission from his ancestors to pen down his family's history. A story that would span almost one hundred years, forcing him to relive the anguish and despair of every generation he uncovered. During his quest, Maximo Gomez returned to Cuba, wrote letters to the Vatican and genealogical societies in Spain. Curiously, and yet cautiously, the author moved through a maze of politics, affluence, betrayal, death and privation that he later came to recognize as a journey of rediscovery. In this dramatized, often funny historical fiction, Max Gomez puts his phantoms to rest, finding the door of reconciliation between his future and his past.
