REVIEW:
In "Val," Anel Viz gives us a glimpse into one man's obsession with a lost love.
Brad didn't particularly love Val when he was alive but soon after Val dies Brad
became obsessed with the memory of him. The lengths to which he goes to hang
onto his memories over the years is chilling and pathetic. But the mind is a
powerful thing and one night Brad meets another Val, this time one who offers
him everything he wished he could have had with his first Val.
This is an incredibly erotic story. The depths of Brad and Val's need for one
another is palpable, and their lovemaking is intensely passionate. Quite simply,
they devour each other in the most explicit of ways. Such excessive intensity
cannot last; it either burns out or destroys you. When Brad and Val come up for
air, their lives have been irrevocably changed, and not necessarily for the
better. The surprise ending is a welcome balm to one's over-stimulated senses.

Description:
"When I think of the things that happened and the
things I did, it is as though I were living them ... My hands feel what I
touched, and the smells that surrounded me fill my nostrils ... Old joys
swell my heart, old sorrows clutch at my throat ... I remember every face,
every name, every street ..."
So Gérard Vreilhac begins the story of his life from his boyhood as a
gardener at the Château d’Airelles before the French Revolution through six
decades of upheaval and social change to the eve of Napoleon III’s coup
d’état. It is a story of heroism and devotion, of political intrigue, of the
great battles fought in Napoleon’s conquest of Europe, and of unprecedented
upward mobility. Most of all it is the story of the men he loved: Julien,
the aristocrat; the jealous and possessive Laurent; his Egyptian houseboy,
Akmoud; Anatole, a male prostitute... And every time he fell in love with a
man, it was forever.

A Perfect Gift for a Voyeur
Description:
I suppose I ought to feel guilty, spying on him this way, but I don’t. After
all, he can’t help but know he’s clearly visible at night in a lit apartment.
Either he’s a bit of an exhibitionist or he knows that another man lives across
from him and assumes he has no interest in seeing him naked. If he doesn’t care,
why should I?

Our own GERRY YOUNG has now been
published as the author, EL AURENS.
Before incessant text messaging,
before male enhancement drugs and vibrating cell phones, and before heart
transplants, space walks, and commercial color televisions, two guys – one
black, one white – grew toward adulthood and self-discovery with each other.
Their families had neither electricity nor any indoor plumbing in the swampy,
‘Lost Paradise’ of Okefenokee. And though the word was never spoken, and their
desires were never completely fulfilled, they loved and cared for one another.
On the day they both reached
eighteen years of age, they shared their most intimate moment ever. After a
final ‘good-bye’, without even looking back, one left home and joined the Navy.
In this purely fantastical tale, Boot Camp is a ‘camp’ – an impossible
dream – where flesh is flesh, and it’s okay to give a buddy a helping hand in
time of need. The Company Commander even instigates a sensual
tactic, which unites him into a cohesive family unit with his eighty-three
recruits.
The boy from
Georgia moves up in rank and rate, and
eventually... but that’s telling too much. Read the story and fall in love all
over again. It’s a simpler, gentler life, once more. You’ll love it.

puts Mike in a pinch, because he’s always loved George—maybe more than a
best friend should.
George doesn’t suspect Mike’s feelings, being wrapped up in his job as
the youngest lieutenant in the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and
investigating a series of murders. But it will all come to a head when
George is stalked by a psycho and Mike steps in front of a bullet meant
for George. George then realizes there’s much more to their relationship
than he suspected. |

is no exception.
The body of a fifty-year-old drag queen is found in the locked
dressing room of a bar. As George delves into the subsequent murder
investigation, he uncovers a dangerous trail of murdered drag queens
and young gay men that intersects with another case involving porn
films, torture, and worse. He struggles to make sense of the

Martin and his partner Mike live a comfortable life in Jacksonville
with their Irish Setter, but something’s missing. Maybe George, a
captain in the sheriff’s office, has just been working too hard
again. There’s been a rash of break-ins in the area, and the homes
targeted all seem to belong to older gay men. Then when the time
finally comes for George and Mike to take their vacation, they pack
up and head to their mountain cabin for two weeks—only to find a
small boy living in their generator shed.
Robbie, who bonds with George right away, had witnessed an
unspeakable tragedy, but that is just the beginning of the trouble.
Alone in the world apart from a very ill maternal grandmother,
Robbie stands the very real risk of becoming a ward of the state if
George and Mike can’t convince a bigoted judge to change his mind.
Meanwhile, George still has a job to do: solve the mystery of the
break-ins—and a murder—and track down who’s responsible.

night, Quentin sends tendrils of thought out into the world, looking

when he finds one-and the young man needs help! Nate Braddock was

the devil" out of him. With Quentin's help, and then his

mother's religious intolerance and together they'll confront an
uncomfortable truth: telepaths may not be devils, but not all of
them are angels either. Quentin and Nate will need their combined
gifts to tell the difference. |
