Artists to my mind are the real architects of change, and not the political legislators who implement change after the fact.

May, 2007: Hot Cops: Gay Erotic Stories edited by Shane Allison (Cleis Press)
What is it about cops that so excites gay men? Could it be the buzz cut and chiseled jaw, those bulging thighs under tight blue serge, the cool mirrored glasses that reflect unbridled lust in the eyes (and other body parts) of their beholders? Maybe it’s the promise of punishment at the end of a nightstick. Perhaps it’s the sheer pleasure of transgression — of getting down and dirty with a man who’s supposed to enforce the law but seems more interested in the perp than in his crime. Hot Cops: Gay Erotic Stories explores the hotter, wilder side of these masculine icons.

His Underwear: An Erotic Anthology takes a provocative look at the underwear fetish that is prevalent among gay men.

July, 2007: Men of Mystery: Homoerotic Tales of Intrigue and Suspense (Haworth Press)
Men of Mystery gathers gay erotica's best and boldest writers to take you outside society's boundaries to do with you exactly as they please. Some of the stories return to the days before Stonewall, to a time of secret lives and hidden sex, when every tryst was still a crime. Others introduce you to the shadowy figures of the underworld; mobsters and hit men, chop shoppers and classic villains. Private dicks nosing their way into the tawdry underbelly of society, feeding their own desires while they service their clients; cops who are as hard on each other as they are on their suspects. And tales from beyond, where sensual spirits tease mortal men into paranormal submission.

Fall, 2007: So Fey: Queer Fairy Fiction edited by Steve Berman (Haworth Press)
They're immortal. They cannot lie. Often they are unnaturally beautiful or horrendously ugly. With a song or a glance or a single kiss they can bewitch. They are the Fey Folk. For centuries they have captivated us, in folktales and in fiction. While there have been anthologies of queer speculative fiction, none have ever focused attention on faeries. But consider how so many gay cultural elements can be applied to the Fey - the focus on youth and beauty, the love of the dance, and wild passion and decadence. Not to mention the drama of vengeance and spurned love.
