In Flesh and Stone
World-renowned painter Alex Restin seems to have everything: wealth, youth, a beautiful face, and an amazing body. Then his perfect life is shattered when his lover, Tony, is stricken by a mysterious illness which baffles medical science. Powerless to save the man he loves, Alex is caught in a maelstrom of conflicting, haunting emotions. In desperation, Alex turns to the Zodiac Men—twelve statues of indescribable beauty which decorate the converted library building where he lives. Grief turns to obsession, and Alex is overwhelmed by his fantasies about the statues—dark fantasies, sexual fantasies—and soon, Alex will learn that some fantasies have a way of becoming reality. Are the Zodiac Men his saviors, guiding him toward a reunion with Tony? Or is their purpose more sinister? Is there any way out, or will the virile, stunning young artist find himself forever trapped… between flesh and stone?
A Study in Spandex
Grieving his husband’s untimely death, Alec Archer doesn’t feel up to donning the Whirlwind’s skintight turquoise costume to defend Centerport against yet another supervillain. But the evil genius who calls himself the Zookeeper doesn’t care about Alec’s feelings. The Zookeeper has chosen Centerport as the perfect place to demonstrate his latest creation—a genetic process that converts harmless house pets into lethal bioweapons. Whether he’s battling giant spiders, rescuing the city from a vicious army of mutated puppies and kittens, saving a child from an angry Grizzly bear, or simply babysitting a pair of awkward newbie superheroes who are more trouble than they’re worth, Alec dutifully does his best, even though his heart isn’t in it. Unfortunately, the Whirlwind’s unique biology proves irresistible to the Zookeeper. Captured, and horribly tortured to unlock the secrets of his superhuman genetics, Alec’s despair and grief threaten to overcome him, and the outcome of the Whirlwind’s final battle with the Zookeeper is far from certain.
Fabulous in Tights
Alec Archer isn’t just a superhero... he’s a survivor. * He’s survived being harpooned by the megalomaniacal captain of a steampunk airship. * He’s escaped being drowned by a sex-crazed mermaid. * He’s narrowly avoided being reduced to a glowing pile of mush by a radioactive grandma. * Even Kryptonite probably couldn’t hurt him. (His inability to think before he opens his mouth, on the other hand, will probably get him killed.) By day, Alec is the owner of a successful male escort service, living an idyllic life with a husband he adores. By night, Alec is the only man strong enough, fast enough, and svelte enough to reluctantly squeeze into the skintight turquoise mantle of the superhero known as the Whirlwind. No matter how many supervillains choose Centerport to kick-off their crazy schemes of mass destruction and world domination, the Whirlwind will always be there to defeat them. And he will always look fabulous in tights!
Bite Club
The first in a new series of comic horror novels. The bars of West Hollywood have always played host to a fair share of blood-sucking monsters, but until now that has only been metaphoric. After three prime cuts of gay male meat turn up fiulleted and drained of blood, the Sheriff, Coroner and City Mayor are forced to the realisation that something not human has taken up residence in Boy's Town. Fortunately the coroner's friend is something of an expert on serial killers, but when she drops in on him for advice she finds him taking a nap in his coffin...
Never Fear - The Tarot
We asked twenty-six authors to write stories based on the Tarot, with the cards determining which stories the authors would write. Over the course of several months we reached out to some of the best genre authors and proposed our idea. Once we had our authors, we took a tarot deck and a list of all twenty-six names. We would read the author’s name, shuffle the deck, and draw a card. That tarot card and its traits were all the authors had to go on. The card was removed, the deck was reshuffled, and the next name was read off. This anthology contains twenty-six stories based on the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana and the four cards of the Minor Arcana. Award-winning and New York Times bestselling authors combine their talents to deal out twenty-six dark tales influenced by the Tarot.
