Soulmates & Strangers by Judith Umlas
Soulmates & Strangers takes the reader on an intimate journey of two soulmates who first connected as teens and remained kindred spirits for the rest of their lives.

Not My Fault by S.B. Frasca
“Not My Fault” is popping up everywhere: at home, in the park, even at school. At first, it’s a secret way for Hy to deal with being bullied, but the protest art becomes addictive and morphs into a massive, creative project in defense of other social injustices.
Hy’s own social circle is more like a square of well-meaning adults, but a chance encounter with an exotic eleventh-grader named Belinda is about to change everything. When the school bully does a one-eighty and Belinda gets pregnant, Hy has to navigate more uncharted territory with messy feelings of lust, loss, and friendship. So, what’s to stop this former tenth-grade loser from soaring into the art world with spray cans blazing? Maybe getting kicked out of school. Purchase at https://amzn.to/45Ommur.
