NONE WITNESS Book One of the Killian Kane Series When the Church cannot forgive, it resolves. Killian Kane was never meant to survive his childhood. The son of a Chicago Outfit enforcer, he was raised inside a world where violence was currency and silence was survival. By seventeen, he was already cleaning what powerful men left behind. Then he vanished—erased from the criminal underworld by a secretive, Vatican-adjacent authority known only as the Resolution Office. They did not save him. They remade him. Now Killian serves as a Custodian, an operative tasked with containing the unforgivable. He does not kill. He erases evidence. He constructs plausible truths. He ensures the world never learns what the Church itself cannot survive revealing. For years, Resolution has kept its secrets buried. Until a priest in New York commits a brutal, ritualized murder. Killian is dispatched to contain the scandal. But what he finds is not a crime of passion. It is a message. Soon, similar killings emerge across Chicago, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis. Each murder is more public. More symbolic. More deliberate. The killer is not hiding. He is escalating. The man responsible is Lucien, a brilliant and charismatic priest who believes murder is not sin, but sacrament. He targets clergy the Church quietly protected—men whose crimes were buried through settlement, silence, and reassignment. Lucien believes he is delivering divine justice. And he knows things he should not know. He knows about Resolution. He knows about its methods. He knows about Killian. As Killian closes in, the Resolution Office assigns him an Instrument—an assassin authorized to perform Terminal Resolution. Forced into partnership with sanctioned violence, Killian begins to uncover a truth more terrifying than Lucien’s crusade: Resolution did not just recruit him. It engineered him. Now hunted by the system that created him and pursued by a killer who believes himself chosen, Killian must confront the possibility that he was never meant to serve justice. Only to contain it. Because when Resolution fails, there are none left to witness. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Queer people spend around $100 billion annually on travel, and are twice as likely as the general population to hold a passport. In short, they love to travel! Despite their lavish spending, queer travelers are often underserved. They are either overlooked when it comes to travel guides, or are encouraged to stick to a handful of "safe” destinations. This conventional wisdom doesn't build their confidence or validate their identities. Nor does it teach them how to advocate for themselves as travelers or plan off-the-beaten-path adventures to new places. And, with the advent of anti-LGBTQ+ policies across the United States and elsewhere, travel has become more fraught than ever for queer individuals. Weaving personal experience with data and interviews, (Out) On the Road empowers LGBTQ+ travelers to face their fears, expand their comfort zones, find community, and thrive on the road. This book provides readers with a framework for planning travel, navigating risks, and becoming self-reliant. Written in a tone that centers female and nonbinary points of view, (Out) On the Road offers a deep dive into the queer travel experience.

A young, aspiring writer desperate for a break…and the legendary Andy Warhol superstar who gave him the story of a lifetime. By the mid-1980s, Holly Woodlawn, once lauded by George Cukor for her performance in the 1970 Warhol production and Paul Morrissey directed Trash, was washed up. Over. Kaput. She was living in a squalid Hollywood apartment with her dog and bottles of Chardonnay. A chance meeting with starry-eyed corn-fed Missouri-born Jeff Copeland, who moved to Hollywood with dreams of ‘making it’ as a television writer, changed the course of BOTH of their lives forever. Love You Madly, Holly Woodlawn is a story of how an unlikely friendship with a young gay writer and an, ahem, mature trans actress and performer created the bestselling autobiography of 1991, A Low Life in High Heels. This book about writing a book is a celebration of chutzpa and love as Holly, the embodiment of Auntie Mame, introduces Jeff to the glamorous (and sometimes larcenous) world of a Warhol Superstar. In turn, Jeff uses his writing (and typing) talent to give Holly the second chance at fame she craved. In turns hilarious and heartwarming, Love You Madly, Holly Woodlawn is a portrait of the real Holly who loved deeply, laughed loudly, and left mayhem in her wake. Foreword by queer icon and author, Simon Doonan. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
