"We've got to jump!" Diana screamed. "That's almost certain death!" Finn yelled back. "Falling into that canyon is certain death!" They clutched at seat belts that wove them more tightly into the car's implacable embrace. Then they were over the edge. So, Diana Attestesso, heroine of The Fire Golem and The Smoking Inn, falls into her latest adventure, one she shares with her now-husband, Finn, daughter Luna, and a band of other travelers kidnapped into a subterranean journey by an undying madman who knows all their faults and failings, counting on their doubts and fears to plunge them and the trapped hero of that realm into eternal unlife. What readers say of Bethany Beeler's work: "It is rare to experience an artist who is so authentic that I am inspired to be more of myself simply by being exposed to their work." "It's what l want from a novel-a story I'm compelled to keep reading and not put down, even though should be going sleep!"

"My transition revealed the flat-out obviousness of my being a woman. Still, I'm stunned that I get to be me after years not knowing who I was, reinforcing in my flesh 3,500 years of patriarchy. Of course, then, the best way to tell this is through a fable ... about a rabbit." Author, artist, and baker, Bethany A. Beeler ran from a thousand enemies through years of presenting as a man. Then, she found magik when she plumbed the fault lines of her life to discover the Well at World's End. It's not the apocalypse, but an invitation to our true selves and to learn that though the world teems with enemies who would kill you, they first have to catch you.

Heroically triumphing over her abusive ex who abducted their daughter, Luna, Diana Atestesso has to rise from the ashes. What more unlikely way to do that than to team up with her lost love, Finn, to build a bar named Sacred Hearts that unexpectedly becomes a haven for "freaks" of all kinds-a gonzo journalist, a drag-queen diva, a lesbian musical virtuoso, and Diana's mentor, Selene, who embarks on an unexpected same-sex relationship in her twilight years?But not everyone joins the celebration. Hard-shell religious power-broker, Arden Pulsifer, and the fanatic zealot, Archibald Jack, seek to tear down Diana's dreams even as she bursts her shell to be the fiery warrior she always meant to be. This battle will require all her wits, ingenuity, and courage to keep her sacred heart from turning to ash.The Smoking Inn is the riveting follow-up to the gripping thriller, The Fire Golem, expanding on the journey of Diana, Finn, Luna, Selene, and a host of new characters to build meaning in a world of alternating conflict and redemption. Welcome to the The Smoking Inn, a place your heart will gladly never leave.
