Title: The Leather Daddy and the Femme 
Author: Carol Queen
Publisher: Down There Press
Length: 176 Pages
Buy: Amazon
Blurb:
It’s another night in San Francisco, and Randy (a.k.a Miranda, when she’s not dressed like a boy) has hit the streets looking for trouble. She has an eye for gay men in leathers, and most nights she’s too much of a girl for them. But tonight Randy meets her match – Jack, who thinks she’s hot no matter who she is.
This is San Francisco’s notorious SOMA, a neighborhood colonized by leatherfolk long before the dot-commers came (and left). From dark alleys to tastefully appointed dungeons, from hotel penthouses to tranny bars, Randy/Miranda explores and embraces her desires – none of them fenced in by anyone else’s idea of sex, gender, and/or sexual orientation. With Jack and other denizens of San Francisco’s sexual underground, she creates her own alternative vision of family values.
Originally published in 1998, The Leather Daddy and the Femme won a Firecracker Alternative Book Award for Best Fiction. This is the Author’s Edition, including several chapters not included in the earlier edition and a new introduction.

Blurb:
Does gender really matter? Kel and Toni are two damaged people, both trying to find answers. But, where Kel’s hopes for the future lie mainly with outreach programs and a new life with his lover, Toni’s looking for absolution in a bottle of Mexican hormone pills.
Kel loves Toni obsessively and—though he supports both of them on the money he gleans from turning tricks and indulging less-than-salubrious clients—he struggles with the reality of Toni’s burgeoning transition, and her motives for doing it.
While Kel grapples with his worries, and the attentions of regular client Michael, otherwise known as The Sherbet Pervert, Toni has different problems to face. Is there really a correct way to read women’s magazines? What about the manifold uses of maxi pads? And just what is this gender thing, anyway?
For all their attempts to build a life together, both Kel and Toni know their survival is precarious. What neither of them realize is just how easily their harsh, isolated little world can be turned upside down and, when chance events push them into unknown territory, both must confront some difficult truths.

Blurb:
Fifty year old American novelist, journalist and blogger, Damien, has arrived in Sydney for the 2010 Mardi Gras Parade. Damien is traveling incognito because in a recent blog he criticized the relevance of the parade and bemoaned the fact it had drifted so far from its roots as a commemoration of the Stonewall Riots—the first time the fairies fought back.
He is met at the airport by Simon, a young Australian who has been asked to look after him and give him a real “Taste of Australia.”
Set against the backdrop of Sydney and its world-famous, colorful Mardi Gras, the two men find they have a lot more in common than either at first realize.

Title: Sweet Son of Pan 
Author: Trebor Healey
Publisher: Rebel Satori
Length: 130 pgs
Buy the book: Publisher , Amazon
Blurb:
Sweet Son of Pan is a collection of erotic poems, born of crushes, love affairs, fantasies, dreams, and real experiences with men from around the world. These poems are written in a mood of devotion, a praise through language of the sweetest garden we enter as physical beings. They are a response to the sadness that is often a consequence of sex; the fear that so unnecessarily surrounds it; the disrespect that is visited upon it. They are wishes; elegies for our lost brothers—and for the parts of ourselves that our lost; parts we rediscover. They are a reaffirmation of sexual freedom and the wisdom that can be gained from the journey along that path—glimpses of paradise, our oneness and timelessness—and if we are lucky, of a small horned creature with cloven hooves who reminds us we came here only to share, and to share joyfully.

Amanda Young, best-selling author of gay fiction, brings you two sizzling tales of seduction. Previously available only in electronic format, these erotic novellas have now been combined for a paperback edition! Included are the stories…
Reckless Seduction
When nineteen year old Cody Bradbury gets his hands on an invitation to the hottest party of the year at The Casbah, an exclusive gay men’s club owned by his uncle, he doesn’t plan to let anything stand in his way of attending. With a stolen invitation, fake identification, and a hastily thrown together costume, Cody sneaks into the club during its annual Halloween party with the intention of checking out the action and losing his long-despised cherry.
He can’t believe his good luck when Dante Santiago comes on to him. Cody knows the older man wants his body, but is there any chance Dante might want more than an orgasm? There’s only one way to find out, and Cody plans to make it a night neither of them will ever forget.
Reckless Behavior
After six months with his lover, Cody yearns for monogamy. The threesomes he and Dante engage in are fun, but he needs more from the man he has grown to care about. Although Cody longs to tell Dante how he feels, he fears love and fidelity are two words missing from his older lover’s vocabulary.

When Jack is attacked by a powerful werewolf one moonlit night, his world is forever changed.
Marcus is that wolf, the strong leader of his pack, who never imagined a mere mortal could ever escape him, much less ever become one of his kind. And yet, as time passes, he can’t deny the handsome human is slowly beginning to change.
No longer the civilized architect he used to be, Jack feels a new power coalescing inside of him. He barely even recognizes himself as he becomes more sexual, more impulsive, more wild in every way.
But as the bite transforms him, it also binds he and his attacker together forever. The two share a powerful unbreakable link, no matter how forcefully they may each try to deny it.
Marcus is already hiding secrets from the other wolves, and his position as Alpha is threatened. Could Jack be the new ally Marcus needs to set things right, or will their desire for one another draw them away from all they know and alter the course of their lives forever
