	All Books by Orland Outland - Author of : Different People Hardcover: 256 pages - (October 2002) Publisher: Alyson Pubns; ISBN: 1555837638 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "Drama; 1980's Reno, Sometimes Love Comes Late - And In The Least Expected Places; From the author of the romantic best-seller Every Man For Himself, this is heartfelt valentine to the notion that love comes quietly and often in the most unlikely ways. For Cal Hewitt, the expectations of his family and religion are paramount. For Eric Hamilton, life is an adventure just waiting to be experienced. For most of their lives, these opposing worldviews lead Cal and Eric in opposite directions, through mind-numbing jobs, dead-end relationships, addictions, second chances and blown opportunities. But then, beginning with a near kiss just as they are each leaving their shared hometown for good, a tenuous connection is formed, one that weaves through their lives in the form of brief meetings in new cities and bittersweet homecomings, where life's challenges and family breakdowns keep them from ever truly connecting or losing touch. But there comes a moment when common experience becomes stronger than differences, when death and disappointment pull both men back to their roots for renewal, when a friendship is forged from their fleeting connections - one with a promise so natural, inevitable and welcome as home."

	All Books by Felice Picano - Author of : Onyx Hardcover - 352 pages 1 Ed edition Vol 1 (May 1, 2001) Alyson Pubns; ISBN: 1555836402 "Gay Dramatic Novels; Three men. Two gay, one straight. Two searching for meaning in the face of loss, one searching for the heart of masculinity. What awakens between them will change their lives forever. Picano, the author of such epic-scaled novels as Like People in History and The Book of Lies, narrows his focus here to six months in the life of Ray Henriques, a successful Manhattan record producer whose life is thrown dramatically out of balance. Based loosely on events the author himself experienced before relocating from New York to Los Angeles in the mid 1990s, the narrative unearths a sometimes jolting examination of how loss can awaken dormant desires and postponed dreams. Endings lead to beginnings, appearances do not match reality, and love can harden hearts as surely as it can expand them. Onyx is a gripping, suspenseful, romantic, and erotic journey to the heart of expectation and beyond into the sometimes harsh, often warm light of reality." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

	All Books by Jim Provenzano - Author of : PINS Paperback - 281 pages 1st edition (October 1, 1999) Myrmidude Press; ISBN: 096723820X "Gay Dramatic Novels; Grapple with the ground-breaking debut novel about gay high school wrestlers, PINS, by California sports writer Jim Provenzano. Listed as one of Amazon.com's Bestsellers of 2000 in Sports Fiction and Gay Fiction, PINS continues to find new readers a year after its publication. It thoroughly explores how homophobia effects a team of wrestlers, and how the media reacts to hate crimes. Now in its second printing, PINS has enjoyed rave reviews and acclaim from over a dozen publications and several prominent athletics officials. Yet it also offers a touching portrayal of the love between two athletes, The characters here are real and loaded with depth, making the action and uncertain ending that much more vivid and ultimately poignant. PINS is an auspicious debut, sort of a Catcher in the Rye about disillusioned gay jocks. It firmly establishes Jim Provenzano as an important new voice in early 21st-century fiction."
