Run! tells the story of how LGBTQ+ people in San Jose/Silicon Valley progressed from being political outcasts to becoming a force that gained political power, equality, and acceptance. Having lived and breathed queer activism for almost 40 years, Ken Yeager is uniquely positioned to tell the story of how this happened. The strategies he used and the lessons he learned will serve as a guide for activists organizing to counter the current uptick of anti-gay and anti-trans hostilities in their communities.

Story
Growing up on Long Island, lonely and quiet and queer, she was enchanted by Hollywood starlets like Kim Novak. She found her turn in New York’s early Off-Off-Broadway theater scene, in Warhol’s films Flesh and Women in Revolt, and at the famed nightclub Max's Kansas City. She inspired songs by Lou Reed and the Rolling Stones. She became friends with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, borrowed a dress from Lauren Hutton, posed for Richard Avedon, and performed alongside Tennessee Williams in his own play.

Story
In the 1980s, the subways of New York City were covered with art. In the stations, black matte sheets were pasted over outdated ads, and unsigned chalk drawings often popped up on these blank spaces. These temporary chalk drawings numbered in the thousands and became synonymous with a city as diverse as it was at war with itself, beset with poverty and crime but alive with art and creative energy. And every single one of these drawings was done by Keith Haring.

Story
Strange Bird is a continuation on the very themes of my first 4 books. Addiction, trauma, baring my soul, yearning and searching, finding my way back to myself. Telling my truth even when it may feel like a bitter betrayal of the one I loved the most. Strange Bird is my hope that I can finally turn a corner and a page and an entire chapter and book of my life for something brand new. Strange Bird is a goodbye letter.

Story
The joy is in the journey! We all have our own journey in life with ups and downs. Sometimes it feels like things will never go our way, yet if we are bold enough to face our fears, learn from our failures and heal from our pain, then we can find the overflowing joy. This story is about my journey, which has led me to the realization that yes, the joy is in the journey.
