UMBRIEL

by Mel Keegan and Jayne DeMarco

On the high moors, lonely, storm-swept and silent, stands the ruin of Saint Martin's Abbey. On a summer's afternoon, a feeling of deep peace surrounds the place, yet the the broken walls conceal a dark secret dating back centuries. And in the region the abbey has earned quite a reputation. Mention St. Martins to the locals and they'll give you an odd look at once and say, "You know it's haunted." Against all advice, pro photographer Rick heads out to the abbey to work fast while the stormlight holds. When it fades, a tiny fragment of the mystery of St. Martin's finds its way into his hands. He calls himself John -- just John -- and the next twenty-four hours of Rick's life will be beyond anything he ever imagined. If he had not seen and felt it all with his own senses, he would never have believed it. But seeing ... feeling ... is believing. 

THE HAUNTED COAST

by Sara Lansing

In a place with a centuries-long reputation for the strange, where hell-hounds howl a death-knell and ghosts hurl the living to their doom, now the unseen breaks through as never before. Brigid Hawking and Mel Jenkins are at ground zero of a volcano of the paranormal that will silence sceptics, rewrite textbooks and overturn the modern perception of death and reality.  But this is not just about demonstrating the reality of the paranormal world. For Brigid and Mel alike, it's entirely personal -- and very possibly lethal. Ghost hunting and sizzling Lesbian romance in the eerie autumn nights of one of the United Kingdom's most haunted towns.

A DARING, DEVOTED HEART

by Linda Hines

Years ago, revenge brought Emeric von Gondrecourt to New Mexico. Now, the force keeping him there is loyalty to the Metairie family — and his love for the young Calder Metairie, who has grown up while Emeric watched. The two men are separated by geography, history, language, culture — one, born an Austrian prince just before upheaval in Europe would rob him of his birthright, the other born to head a cattle ranch as vast as small European countries. Both were born to different kinds of power, positions of command, and lives bound by duty. And both share a secret. Being gay at this volatile time in America's history is damned dangerous. Here's a Western with a difference. Not merely an m/m romance, it's also "quest fiction," taking a pair of mis-matched heroes through country which brings to mind the works and words of Zane Grey, and culminating in a double-barreled climax — it's a hail of hot lead and a struggle to survive, before Calder Metairie and Emeric von Gondrecourt take those devils by the horns. 

TINSEL AND FROST

by Eden Winters

The last time Tony danced, he wore the spangles and tights of the Nutcracker’s Prince and the audience threw roses at the stage. One career-ending accident later, he’s dancing again, and he’s not proud of hoping that the audience will reward him with twenties. Frost, the big, pale bouncer, has reasons of his own for keeping a watchful eye on Tony. He keeps his distance, too, until he has to bounce an aggressive customer who takes things with Tony too far. They have a short, shared walk home but a huge divide between their lives. Do Tony and Frost have more in common than they believe?

COMING OUT IN COOPERS CROSSING

by Jayne DeMarco

At sixteen, Sam has rarely been off the Thomas property. He's dying to meet lads himself -- gay, young, hungry. He grew up on the whispered tales of Will Fairchild, who followed gorgeous Ben Garvey east out of Coopers Crossing into bushranger country, a century before. Now, he watches for a truck called 'Stand and Deliver' ... but nothing could prepare him for the reality of Steve Ryan. And nothing short of a cross between Crocodile Dundee and Brokeback Mountain will prepare you for Coming Out in Cooper's Crossing. Told in Sam's own very Australian words, the story is as hilarious as it's heartwarming. Mel Keegan has described it in these terms: "As triumphant as Brokeback Mountain was tragic, and every word rings true to one who was here at the time. From the first sentence to the last, it has the sound of an epic Paul Hogan monologue ... if Hoges had ever told gay stories, though he never did. Bravo to Jayne Demarco. Five stars."

MINDSPACE

by Mel Keegan

On the far frontier, life is tough when you’re a pilot stripped of your license to fly. The good jobs go to graduate guildsmen who make the professional grade ... and who play by the guild’s rulebook. Jack DiFalco broke the rules. Busted, he found himself on the wrong side of the law and the rough side of the guild -- and his crime was mindspacing … playing one of the high-tech games which are changing the future of humanity. Playing not in VR, but in the gamespace, the total-immersion rigs where players enters the realm of the machine. And some of them don’t make it back out. Kieron Charig is a navigator who went through guild school with Jack, but he has no patience for the game, or gamers. Mindspacing is the tool of the navigator’s trade –- big ships are flown via a symbiotic relationship where the mind/machine interface is dangerously blurry. Kieron works there; he scorns to play there -- and the irony is, it’s Kieron, not Jack, who will pay the ultimate price, while Jack is plucked out of a rough underworld and propelled into places more opulent than the games. But success comes with strings attached. Jack will pay his dues with skill, courage, even sex. For Kieron, no price is high enough, and every moment is a battle to preserve what remains of his humanity.

WINDSTREAM

THE TREE OF IDLENESS

by Shabbu

For fifty years men come to the island of Cyprus, a Mediterranean paradise split and war torn by a marathon ethnic struggle between Greek and Turk, to the villa where British novelist Lawrence Durrell wrote his acclaimed Alexandria Quartert. Each one comes pulled by his own desires and by the whisperings of the villa itself and each is enticed down to the Tree of Idleness café on the Bellapais square. There they ogle and are, in turn, ogled by the young Turkish Cypriot men there—and take those men back to the villa for hours of unfettered, wanton pleasure, oblivious to any threat of personal damage or to the rending of the delicate balance of the island’s social structure. And it is not only the foreign visitors to Bellapais who are affected by the enticement woven by the Bellapais villa. The local men, as well, the young—and maturing and aging—men in the Tree of Idleness café are caught up in the constantly reweaving web of desire and wanton lust, island sexual customs, and doomed relationships. Just when it appears that the villa is willing to put the cycle to rest, to offer solace to those who have found each other again and chosen constancy over wantonness, the villa’s enticing whisperings of the delights of the Tree of Idleness café down on the Bellapais square begin anew.

Javier "Jay" Ortiz had always considered the Fourth of July a time for celebrations, fireworks, and cookouts – that is, until he met Michael Ritter, a US Army veteran traumatized by the horrors of war. For Michael, the Roman candles sound like rockets and the pops and blasts of fireworks mimic rifles and grenades.

MOONSPUN

by Lee Benoit

Jamie Cowan hoped his new gig as playwright-in-residence at an urban theater would be the start of a new life -- a proud life out of the closet. Instead, he's stuck in student digs with oversexed roommates and a morose parrot. He's too intimidated by city life and city people to be honest about being gay, much less try to find a lover. Worst of all, he's blocked, unable to write, and in danger of losing his dream life before it even begins -- until an errand for the theater brings him face-to-face with the most beautiful man he's ever seen. Spider is a humble Dominican-American tailor. Meeting Jamie gives Spider a glimpse of a life -- and love -- he never imagined for himself. But Spider has a secret, and it's not that he's gay. Whenever the moon is high, Spider sits before his loom and weaves tapestries that predict the future. Spider and Jamie's mutual attraction is undeniable, but first they must overcome Jamie's closet and Spider's secrets. That's when they learn that their past fears are nothing compared to a new one: an arcane threat that will test Jamie's mettle and threaten Spider's very survival.
