Some Recent Reads Interstitial by Ann Somerville - Love triangles. Alien monsters. Planetary war. Just another day in space. A rousing novella with great characters and two types of tension. As a bonus, the author has written a sequel called Synchronised which reads well as a stand-alone (albeit one full of spoilers for the novella), but goes great as an extra. Plus the sequel is absolutely free! Colin Farrell's Penis by Philip Huang. Go ahead. It'll take all of three minutes to read this piece of flash fiction. It's under 500 words, but it manages to be funny, witty all while taking a nice stab at the gay community and the world's fixation on Hollywood's Celebutants! Did I mention it is free? Master of None: The Eight of Pentacles by Lee Benoit. Fast becomming one of my favorite authors, this speculative story is a wonderful m/m romance with some excellent world building and a great "surrporting cast." Worth the purchase price ten times over. Better by Jaime Samms. My first introduction to this wonderful author. A rich, full story with multi-faceted characters and real heart. While you're there, read Dreamers as well. Both are free. and I would have gladly paid for both. Toybox: Sounds by multiple authors. Not for the sexually unadventurous, Sounds is collection of three stories about urethral sounding. Particularly romantic and sweet is the contribution by Naomi Brooks and Angelia Sparrow. And Kiernan Kelly's contribution is also a lovely piece. Always a Good Read HeavyGlow -- A Journal of Fine Flash Fiction Velvet Mafia -- Dangerous Queer Fiction Outsider Ink -- Now defunct, but the archive remains running Farrago's Wainscot -- A Gallery of Weirds TV Junkie -- A blog behind the scenes in Hollywood by a very good friend of mine. Twisted Tongue Magazine -- For the dark side of life Cemetery Dance -- The Magazine of Horror and Suspense Dark Discoveries -- The Little Horror Magazine that Could. Some Reviews The Sweet Flag by Jeanne Barrack |
