(Why doesn't the person I'm dating make me happy? Why can'...)
Why doesn't the person I'm dating make me happy? Why can't I get my body to look the way I want it? Why does my job seem so unimportant? Why do I dwell on what I don't have, rather than my accomplishments? Why is it that nothing ends up being the way I think it should be? These were the kinds of questions the authors were asking until both were diagnosed with HIV infection and they began a speeded up search for answers, that made sense. With time running out, they turned inward for answers, and by asking the right questions, they discovered what they were looking for. At a time, when they might have been more traumatized, more depressed and less satisfied with their lives, they discovered a paradox: They were living better than ever with less stress, less emotional trauma, more tranquility, more friends, an abundance of material things, and, most important, a growing understanding of who they were. Determined not to forget what they learned, they began to write things down, and this book is the result.

Fate has strange and wonderful plans for wisecracking Nigel Adams and cynical, aristocratic Nicky Borja, who are accidentally thrown together in a Tuscany villa, where they have both fled to escape from life and its heartbreaks. But just as a fiery romance is kindled from oil and water, Nicky and Nigel discover, that a friend they recently met, the publishing heiress Evelyn Van Deventer Iversen, has been drowned in a remote Arizona lake, while camping with her new and much younger husband. Suddenly, the newly-in-love and eager-for-adventure pair find themselves in the deserts of Utah and Arizona on the trail of the truth in this delightfully poignant and funny blend of mystery and romance.

(John "Jack" Quincy Adams grew up in Midland, Texas, with ...)
John "Jack" Quincy Adams grew up in Midland, Texas, with a crush on Laura Welch. But Jack went into the Secret Service and Laura married a wealthy Texas playboy. Jack soared in the Service, becoming "One", the agent, assigned to protect the president. First George H. W. Bush, then Bill Clinton and now his former sweetheart's husband, George W. Bush. Jack has twins: a single-parent daughter and a gay son with a family. Soon Jack is tortured by what he observes in The White House: Laura trapped in a life she hates; gay people like his son Quincy and his family scapegoated to distract from the war in Iraq; the country on an economic downward spiral. As a true conservative patriot, a man in love and sworn to protect the Constitution and the people of the United States, Jack realizes the fate of everyone he loves is in his hands. There is only one course possible - assassinate the president.

Quotations:
"I begin each day, walking my Dobermans on the beach and saying my morning malas."
"I write for the act of writing and for myself. I never think of what I'm writing as a "book" or a product. If I fall into that trap I end up not writing from my heart. I write as an act of discovery, a journey to the Self. My partner Paul and I spend a lot of time in the deserts of Utah, Arizona and Southern California. It is the most beautiful and transcendent place I know. I love working on a book with Paul. He's so smart, that sometimes it frightens me."
Paul Alex Borja is Kraus' life partner.
