A MILESTONE IN GAY FICTION Phillip Froelich is in trouble. The year is 1946, and he’s traveling to Seattle where he will face a court martial for acting insubordinate to a lazy officer in the closing days of World War II. On the way to Seattle he meets Tim Danelaw, and soon the court martial is among the least of Phillip’s concerns.... So begins Quatrefoil, a novel originally published in 1950. It marked a milestone in gay writing, with two of the first non-stereotyped gay characters to appear in American fiction. For readers of the Fifties, it was a rare chance to counteract the negative imagery that surrounded them. Today, Quatrefoil ranks as a classic work of gay writing, a novel that is still as gripping and enjoyable as ever. It is of extra interest to the modern reader for the vivid picture it draws of what life was like for gay men in our recent but little-known past.

This adventurous journey of the Green “Q”uatrefoil and its friends, the e-instruments, occurs in the cyberspace. As the Green “Q”uatrefoil confronts itself with different realities and e-instruments, it realizes how important is to apply the intelligence and the critical thinking in order to survive within the united states of the international cyberspace, especially when dealing with a diversity of e-creatures, which might be good and evil. Every element of the cyberspace is fundamental and might have an important impact within the cyber environment and on its e-creatures, hence the smart use of the e-instruments becomes very important for all. The Green “Q”uatrefoil has to deal with different issues such as the renewable energy resources, multiculturalism and countering the hate speech on the web, thus making the united states of the international cyberspace a better space to live with and converting its algorithm into a better and prosperous one for everyone.

ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE . . . AND MAGIC. SLATE Somehow, we survived. It was supposed to be over. No more curses. No more magic. Just a calm, little life in Brume. For the first time ever, I'm ready for calm. So. Damn. Ready. Just so happens that the girl I love doesn't like to leave things unfinished. Fine. So our little crew will assemble the Quatrefoil and bring magic back to the world. We've already faced death. This can't be worse. Or can it? CADENCE I could have let things be. Maybe I should have let things be. My crew is alive. Slate is by my side. And life is returning to normal. Except the university is a giant pile of rubble. Papa is still stuck in a wheelchair. And a girl is dead. If magic can change all that, I want to try one last time to bring it back. Hopefully, I won't regret it. *Warning: profuse cursing (and not just the magical kind).
