It's ALL About You / It AIN'T About You
Glodean Champion
Release Date: February 4, 2025
"It's All About You / It Ain't About You" is a dual-purpose guide that addresses the complex emotions and challenges faced by those diagnosed with cancer and their loved ones. The book is cleverly structured with two distinct sides:
​
It's All About You – This side of the book is dedicated to cancer patients. It offers compassionate guidance, personal anecdotes, and practical strategies to help patients navigate their diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. The content is designed to empower patients, giving them the tools and confidence needed to take control of their health and well-being.
​
It Ain't About You – Flip the book over, and you'll find a dedicated section for friends, family, and caregivers. This part provides essential advice on how to effectively support a loved one with cancer. It emphasizes empathy, active listening, and understanding the patient's needs without overwhelming them. This guide aims to help supporters be there in the most meaningful and supportive ways possible.
​Glodean Champion, inspired by her own cancer journey, shares her motivation behind the book: "Having witnessed the profound impact of cancer on both patients and their loved ones, I wanted to create a resource that addresses the needs of both groups and include a little humor with my wisdom to remind people that there's a human being inside of the cancer story. 'It's All About You / It Ain't About You' is a heartfelt guide to navigating the cancer journey together, fostering understanding, compassion, hope, and love."

Emergencies of the Heart
Leslie McGraw
Release Date: September 2, 2022
These poems, written between September 11, 2001 and Autumn 2013, are a collection of thoughts and dreams that rise out of the ashes of defeat and disappointment. This is not a book about 9-11 and death. This is a book about life, love, purpose, hope, and the valuation of time –all of which Leslie assessed differently since the events that occurred on 9-11. As the new towers have gone through the stages of the best and the brightest, to the lowest…to Ground Zero, and now back to an inspiring tower of freedom, Leslie is encouraged to move forward in love and stand tall in power with new hopes and expectations
Salmon Croquettes
Glodean Champion
Release Date: March 24, 2021
In 1965, The Circle, in Watts, Los Angeles, was a close-knit Black community, filled with its own particular joys and troubles. Set against the backdrop of racism and everyday police brutality, this vibrant neighborhood comes alive in Salmon Croquettes, as 12-year-old Zayla Lucille McKinney grapples with the confusion of feeling like a boy trapped in a girl's body. Is she what the other girls call her, a "bulldagger"? And what does that even mean?
​
In the midst of her transformation from tomboy to young woman, the community she loves explodes in a racial uprising. The Watts Riots teach Zayla the fragility of life and the importance of friendship. As the embers die down and the smoke clears, Zayla also learns something else - a family secret. Salmon Croquettes is a sensitive exploration of Zayla's transition from childhood incomprehension - why do adults expect children to magically understand what is acceptable and what isn't - to an acceptance of who she is and the truth of who her parents really are.
