Draft2Digital: The Perfect Match for Self-Published Authors
Entering the world of publishing is like going for a ride on a roller coaster at 120 miles per hour and not knowing where you will end up. It’s exciting. It’s scary, but most of all, it is full of opportunities. I remember the first time that I published a book. It was new for us to have a computer in our house at that time, let alone a place where a book could be published. Several social media websites were just getting off the ground, and publishing a lesbian fiction book when I could barely find one at the library or book store seemed unheard of.

24 Hours with an Unlimited Income and No Requirement to Pay it Back
I would have a very busy day if I had 24 hours with an unlimited income. One that I didn’t have to pay back. First, I would wake up early, so that I had as much time as I could to get things done. I would go online and pay all of my bills. I might even pay a couple of bills ahead of time.

Benefit Eligibility Change for LGBTQ Service Members
On September 21, 2021, former LGBT service members got a wake-up call. The Department of Veteran’s Affairs declared that the LGBT members that were discharged under the former Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell measure may be eligible for full military benefits. The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell rule was created in 1993 by then President Bill Clinton. It directed LGBT service members to “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue, and don’t harass” (Encyclopedia Britannica).

Why the Lack of Lesfic Fiction Inspired Me
Throughout my life, I have been an avid reader. When I was a child I loved to read about adventures far away and riddle my mind with the mysteries that characters like Encyclopedia Brown and the Boxcar Children faced. Nevertheless, as I got older, I began to crave a more in-depth story line with more mature characters.

Language Law: A Barrier for Iowa Voters
Laws in Iowa are now creating havoc with the population. This is because Iowa has a law stating that all official state and political documents have to be written in English and no other language. This law is called the Iowa English Language Reaffirmation Act, and it was created in 2002 by Tom Vilsack to assimilate people into the Iowa culture (Arena, 2021). When this law was created, it also stated that English was Iowa’s official language (IDCA, 2020). However, before the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, Iowa was occupied by the Sauk, Fox, and Winnebago tribes and then later discovered by two French men, falling under the ownership of France (World Travel Guide, 2019). This means that English wasn’t always the language spoken in the state, nor was it the first language of the area.
