Queerpunk is an anthology by Circlet Press focusing on Queer sexuality in near-futuristic,cyberpunk environments.The collected stories confront the issues of living in such a technological, anonymous world in which the individual’s identity is constantly in flux.

their ‘true’ identity. Queerpunk examines the ways in which the human body can be altered, if not transformed, by technology.

Blurb:
Novelist Jorie Price doesn’t believe in the existence of shape-shifting creatures or true love. She leads a solitary life, and the paranormal romances she writes are pure fiction for her.
Griffin Westmore knows better — at least about one of these two things. She doesn’t believe in love either, but she’s one of the not-so-fictional shape-shifters. She’s also a Saru — an elite soldier, investigator, and if need be an assassin with the mission to protect the shape-shifters’ secret existence at any cost.
When Jorie gets too close to the truth in her latest shape-shifter romance, Griffin is sent to investigate — and if necessary to destroy the manuscript before it’s published and to kill the writer.

GCLS Literary Awards winner Sheila Morris continues her engaging stories as she leaves her Texas home breaking free from the ties of her childhood. Her travels take her from Seattle to South Carolina, and from youthful longings to grownup passions. Along the way, she unearths and understands herself, but rarely the women she loves.
From no-holds-barred workplace discrimination against women in the 60s to the deliberate deception of corporate America against lesbians in the 21st century, she survives and tells the stories that need to be told. She speaks honestly, but with humor that spices the narrative.
Finally, she hears the voices of her past calling her home again in her memories. They remind us all that we never really leave home or the people we love.
