Howard Hughes
Set amid descriptions of the unimaginable changes that affected America between Hughes's birth in 1905 and his death in 1976, this book gives an insider's perspective about what money can buy, and what it can't.
Katharine the Great
Based on years of painstaking research, this tell-all biography unveils the secret, closeted life of the indomitable grande dame of American actresses, Katharine Hepburn, covering the years between her birth in 1907 and the debut of her role in The African Queen in 1950.
Blood Moon
GLA'S most successful title ever, a book defined by NYC's LGNY magazine as the #1 best-selling gay novel nation wide for almost 3 months in a row, is finally back due to popular demand. 'A dazzling and jarringly original erotic thriller... It reads like an IMAX spectacle about the power of male beauty, with red-hot icons, a breathless climax and erotica akin to Anais Nin on Viagra with a bump of meth' - Eugene Raymond 'Sexually intoxicating - a murky but enthralling blend of love, greed, psychosis and betrayal' - Jason Pollack
Blood Moon's Guide to Gay and Lesbian Film
More of what you've come to expect from Blood Moon's ongoing series of guidebooks devoted to the previous year's production of Gay and Lesbian Films, with a completely different and expanded roster of films from those reviewed within Volume One. Blood Moon's series on GLBT film was designated as winner of a Bronze IPPY Award (2007) from the Independent Publishers Association of America, and received an Honorable Mention (2007) and a nomination for Best GLBT Nonfiction Title of the Year (2008) from Foreword Magazine. In 2008, it received an honorable mention from the Book Of The Year competition conducted annually in Los Angeles by the Hollywood Book Festival. Blood Moon's guides to GLBT film are produced by the same writing team that produces many of the widely distributed Frommer Guides to the tourist scenes of Europe and The Caribbean. The Frommer Guides are an imprint of John Wiley and Sons.
Brando Unzipped
That ongoing, barely under control drama known as Marlon Brando--Hollywood's Ultimate Bad Boy, Megastar, and Sexual Outlaw--with a special focus on his early rise to fame and his social and sexual associations with the A-list legends of the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Brando Unzipped is the definitive gossip guide to the late, great actor's life --New York Daily News. Lurid, raunchy, perceptive, and certainly worth reading, it's one of the best show-biz biographies of the year. --London's Sunday Times. Brando Unzipped received an Honorable Mention from Foreword Magazine in its Book of the Year competition, and it won a Silver Ippy award for Best Biography from the Independent Publisher's Association.
Blood Moon
A fast moving novel about pasion, betrayal and murder among the very rich and powerful, some of whom happen to be gay. It is about the false gods of power, wealth, and physical beauty. Set in the more permissive 70s, it follows the class of '71 five years later when its highly sexual members are mature and playing deadly games. An epic tale of gay lives set in the glamourous but often tawdry world of South Florida. A major accomplishment, this blockbuster is a vastly appealing page-turner, with an ending so surprising it leaves one breathless.
Blood Moon's Guide to Gay and Lesbian Film

Carole Landis
Despite appearing in twenty-eight movies in little over a decade, Carole Landis (1919-1948) never quite became the major Hollywood star her onscreen presence should have afforded her. Although she acted in such enduring films as A Scandal in Paris and Moon over Miami, she was most often relegated to supporting roles. Even when she played the major role in a feature, as she did in The Powers Girl and the film noir Wake Up Screaming!, she was billed second or third behind other actors. This biography traces Landis's life, chronicling her beginnings as a dance hall entertainer in San Francisco, her career in Hollywood and abroad, her USO performances, and ultimately her suicide.

Steve McQueen
The most detailed and revealing biography to date of a Hollywood great. Steve McQueen is that rare Hollywood combination of a classic actor and a style icon in the tradition of James Dean. ‘ The King of Cool’ , as he was dubbed, was at one time the highest-paid film star in the world, a status earned through his roles in films like The Magnificent Seven, Bullitt, The Thomas Crown Affair and The Great Escape. But he also turned down at least as many roles in classic films, including Breakfast at Tiffany’ s, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The French Connection. This is the first biography to cover in detail every film that McQueen made, and to put him into the context of the movie business, showing how he had problems trying to be a Method actor where an exact contemporary like Clint Eastwood thrived at it, and how Eastwood understood the studio system and made it work for him, while an insecure McQueen struggled with his sense of himself, both on and off screen. It includes interviews with people who have never spoken about him before, and draws upon diaries in the private McQueen collection.
Midnight in Savannah
Loosely inspired by the novel that put Savannah, Georgia, on the map (John Berendt's bestselling Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil), this study in southern decadence shows that corruption has no respect for gender or for much of anything else. Mendacity reigns. Perversity in extremes. Physical beauty as living hell.
