In his second book, James J. Wilkerson explores the question, "What is consent?" With his background as an attorney and Title IX coordinator, Wilkerson brings an expert's knowledge through the lens of a former fraternity brother. With an open and frank style, Consent Is _____ encourages the conversations that are often left out of healthy sex education.
"When I stepped back and looked at the totality of the situation, it was clear to me that there was a lack of education with this population (not just fraternity members, but with young males in general). A university might do a quick, student-led sexual assault skit during orientation, but for the most part, the only time men discussed healthy social sexual responsibility was when an incident had already happened. By then it was too late. The trauma had already been inflicted and the repercussions were already ringing out.
But what if someone could work with 18–21-year-old men to teach sexual assault prevention early in their collegiate journey? What if someone could help fraternities and sports teams weave consent, bystander intervention, and respect into the fabric of their organizations? What if someone could excite and empower young men to change their very culture?"
James Wilkerson holds his Masters degree in communication from Bellarmine University and his Juris Doctorate from the University of Louisville. He is the founder of Greek Law: a sexual assault prevention and consent program for fraternity and sorority chapters. He has gone on to write extensively about sexual assault through a legal lens.

“The Blackbird” Phoenix Merlo is only a boxer by title, for someone who throws fights for money barely deserves such an honor. For the sake of appeasing his debts, he’s sacrificed his chances at true happiness, all because of one mistake he’s never let go of. What follows is a never-ending cycle of success and failure, rebirth and self-destruction—trapping the Blackbird in an impenetrable cage.
Questioning the meaning of his life, Phoenix desperately tries to find the moment that would make it all worth it—the moment that will finally make him feel special. And in order to break out of the cage, the Blackbird will do anything… even break his own wing.
The story of Everybody’s Special is an existentialist tale of violent proportions, combining the thought-provoking essence of philosophy with the bloody realism of boxing and mixed martial arts.
