     Watchers of the Night

Paul Bennett is a young man with a rare sleep disorder that causes him to fall asleep every night at sunset, unable to wake until dawn, and every night he has the same dream, or so he believes.When a beautiful young lady comes to him in that dream and tells him he is a Walker, someone who walks the night free of their body, his life is forever changed.From the outside, Paul Bennett appears to be an ordinary high school senior from small-town Kentucky. But Paul has a secret. He possesses an extraordinary gift which allows him to leave his body during the night and go anywhere, see anything—unseen, undetected. Unbeknownst to Paul, he is not alone in his ability--there are others who can do what he can, and they belong to Astralis, a government agency funded by the United Nations who train people like Paul to become spies. When one of their scouts recognizes Paul for what he is, he is offered a place in the agency. Paul makes a new life at Astralis, forging new friendships and inadvertently creating new enemies. Through the mentoring of the agency's director, Dr. Abrams, Paul finds a place where he finally feels he belongs. Unfortunately, Astralis is an organization under siege from within.

    Out of the Closet

     Out of the Closet

Out of the Closet is an uplifting novel about accepting people who are different. Five friends—a transsexual war veteran and P.O.W.; a transgender oppressed in a small AZ town; a Christian cowboy; a Muslim crossdresser from Afghanistan; a Jewish lesbian teacher from TX—enjoy San Francisco's Pride festivities and take lessons learned back to that small town in AZ where they overcome oppressions.Out of the Closet is a positive, uplifting novel about people who have the courage to stand with friends who are different, while continuing to maintain their own identity as well. Five people—a transsexual war veteran and P.O.W.; a transgender facing oppresions in a small, Arizona town; a Christian, natal cowboy who is accepting; a Muslim crossdresser from Afghanistan, who now lives in San Francisco; and a Jewish, lesbian school teacher from Texas—become friends, participate in San Francisco’s annual Pride parade and festivities, and take their lessons back to that small town in Arizona, where they overcome issues in a way far larger than they could have expected.The emphasis in Out of the Closet is not only acceptance of self as transgender, but also on people who claim to be supportive, who claim to be friends, but who keep the transgender away from their other friends. This kind of behavior, which may well be recognized as hurtful by people for other minorities, is often considered valid regarding transpeople. Out of the Closet is an example of very different people who accept and respect each other without giving up their own identity as they do so.While the subject matter is mature and sophisticated, about transpeople, and while there is romance, the material is presented in such a way that, I believe, if it were a film it could be shown on primetime television. Language is not harsh. Sex is not explicit, though romance is, as well as the love of friends and family.As stated on the Copyright page, all Aimee Norin novels may be shared with friends or students, in university settings, or for other personal use if the novel is kept together in its entirety.

    The Adventures of Captain Horn

      Frank Richard Stockton
     The Adventures of Captain Horn

"Early in the spring of the year 1884, the three-masted schooner Castor, from San Francisco to Valparaiso, was struck by a tornado off the coast of Peru. The storm, which rose with frightful suddenness, was of short duration, but it left the Castor a helpless wreck. ... "The Castor was an American merchant-vessel, commanded by Captain Philip Horn, an experienced navigator of about thirty-five years of age. Besides a valuable cargo, she carried three passengers—two ladies and a boy. ... "But when the storm had passed, and the sky was clear, and the mad waves had subsided into a rolling swell, there seemed no reason to believe that any one on board the Castor would ever reach Valparaiso. The vessel had been badly strained by the wrenching of the masts, her sides had been battered by the floating wreckage, and she was taking in water rapidly. Fortunately, no one had been injured by the storm, ...." All of the row boats had been blown off of the ship, but the crew was able to retrieve two of them from the sea; and "...in less than three hours after the vessel had been struck, the two boats, containing all the crew and the passengers, besides a goodly quantity of provisions and water, and such valuables, clothing, rugs, and wraps as room could be found for, were pulling away from the wreck." The adventure thus begins, lost at sea somewhere off of the unsettled coast of Peru with only a vague idea of where they are.
