Sex By The Book

Kevin Bentley emailed an acceptance today for Sex By The Book, which is set to come out from Green Candy Press. It'll be a whole anthology of "gay men's tales of lit and lust" and I can't wait to see how the other stories use books, writers, librarians, dead authors, etc. to make hot homo sex. My story "Comicboys" is about boyfriends who are writing a comic book together. Their heroes are the Skater and the Punk, who I hope will also turn up in one of the comics-themed anthology whose deadlines are approaching.

C is for Co-eds



Just heard word that my story "I Wanted Him to Feel It" will be reprinted in Alison Tyler's college-themed C is for Co-eds from Cleis Press, which consistently brings out high-quality and interesting erotica.

Of course, there's no contract yet, so you never know for sure...but I'm still happy enough to be this near a Cleis title that I'm posting.

"I Wanted Him to Feel It" was previously published in Just the Sex, from Alyson, in 2003, and was the back jacket copy, too!

Dorm Porn 2


A contract for Sean Fisher's Dorm Porn 2 arrived on Friday for my story "Cultural Studies," about a college wrestler who tries to seduce his Professor in order to pass "Desconstructing Asian American Identites." It's set for a release. in August 2007. Dorm Porn is fantastic, and I'm sure DP 2 will be even better!


Shane Allison told me they'd taken a story of his for Dorm Porn 2 weeks ago, and since he had heard via email I thought for sure they hadn't taken my story. It was a nice surprise when I got home late Friday.

Still no contract for Second Skin, though, and haven't heard the final word on a couple of other stories that have been submitted in manuscripts, but not approved by publishers.
