OUT NOW!!!!!
Resist and Triumph
As 2017 opened, the United States took several steps back in
the progress toward equality. In response, a group of authors has stepped up to
offer positive stories of hope and love. In an effort to help fight and support
those groups who are facing even greater challenges, we wrote these stories to
offer a small amount of aid.
Stories of hope, resistance, and ultimately triumph fill the
pages of this anthology.
All proceeds from the anthology go to The Trevor Project
and GLAAD to help fight the effects of the dark times we’re facing.

Fighting the Alpha, the Omega Way by Carol Pedroso
Alpha Enforcer Gerard Gilbertson is sent in to investigate
Alpha Kief Freaton and his pack. But, what he finds is both good and bad.
The good is he finds his mate, an omega named Strin.
The bad is his mate is being forced to use his omega powers
to help the corrupt Alpha make money by conning people. Alpha Freaton is
using a collar to control Strin, with the threat that the collar will kill the
other omegas living in the pack and Strin if Strin doesn't follow orders.
With Gerard's help, Strin has to fight the Alpha for
his right to freedom. And he has to do it the Omega way...
Carol’s reason for
taking part in the anthology.
The subject of bullying is very close to my heart.
I was bullied all through my school years. I was called
names, had stuff thrown on me, was hit a few times, was threatened with a knife
once, and many other unpleasant memories.
It got so bad at one point that I found myself taking out my
emotions on my best friend. She in no way deserved my anger and resentment. As
soon as I realized what I was doing I gave myself a kick up the backside.
In my story Strin does what I wished I’d had the courage to
do. I wish I had stood up and told the bullies what for. However, I have never
been good with confrontations and so I decided to work behind the scenes as
much as I could to fight the bullies. I became the person people came to if
they needed someone to talk to. I helped out with groups and clubs that
promoted working together. And since I started writing I make sure the bad
guy/bullies always get beaten. I don’t allow any of my characters to turn a
blind eye to anyone being mistreated, whatever the reason for that mistreatment
is.
I hope in my own small way to make a difference to those
suffering, and maybe give them the courage to seek help to stand up for who
they are, and to be proud.
