LGBTQ ET's get it on with Earthlings (with a lot more going on along the way).  A political LGBTQ adventure, romance, fantasy, science fiction, sensual, literary novel for all who believe and participate (or are thinking about participating) in the struggle.  J, a troubled five-year-old living in Washington Heights, has a life-long, daunting mission: use her mind-bending powers against NASA scientists planning a premature leap for earth from the Atomic to the Empath Age, harnessing the energy of empathy to colonize other planets. J is the protégé of Telmx, a young woman Imari warrior from an outside galaxy who arrives on Earth following the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, endows J with powerful empathy, and eventually transforms from savior into extraterrestrial lover. Through the time-traveling nightmares and hallucinations of J, the anti-war demonstrations of the sixties, and Telmx’s battle with the violent Raymond, a rogue “Imari-turned-bad,” the struggle for peace in the universe ensues. Beyond the Horse’s Eye–a Fantasy Out of Time is only the start of a daring and controversial journey, a race against time all too close to our own.   Troubled children often create imaginary friends and secret worlds to cope with an impossible reality. But what if the imaginary friend became real and the secret worlds could be visited? Beyond the Horse’s Eye–a Fantasy Out of Time is built around a fascinating concept: empathy for all living things can be channeled into a powerful energy force. A period of rich ferment–the 1960s in the U.S.–with opposition to the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, the movement for sexual liberation, revisited, as species beyond humans, join forces with young earthlings, now with empath power, and cooperate to change history. Worlds, energy forms and loves collide with unexpected results. An exciting read that is wise and full of intuitions on pain, survival, rehabilitation and change.

Emotion Coaching (EC) is a universal communication strategy which supports children and young people to self-regulate and manage their stress responses. Originally noticed as an effective way parents communicated with their children around challenging behaviours, Emotion Coaching has been shown to be highly successful in educational settings too. This is why the authors pioneered the research and application of Emotion Coaching into UK (primary and secondary) schools and community settings.\nThe book includes straightforward descriptions and practical tips, with signposting to resources, case studies and vignettes to illustrate its practical application in educational settings. It supports adults to promote empathetic responses to challenging behaviours and situations, helping children and young people to understand their emotions and learn to manage them and their behavior in the longer-term.
