What's NEW in short stories . . . .
Time Well Bent
Edited by Connie Wilkins
Lethe Press, paperback, 2009
Featuring Barry's new story "Sod 'Em"
We have always been here. For as long as there's been such a thing as sex, alternate sexual identities have been a fact of life. So why have we been so nearly invisible in recorded history and historical fiction? Now editor Connie Wilkins, a Lambda Literary Award finalist, has assembled fourteen stories that span the centuries from ancient times to the Renaissance to the modern era and explore alternate versions of our past. Their queer protagonists, who bend history in ways dramatic enough to change the world and subtle enough to touch hearts and minds, rescue our past from invisibility, and affirm our place and importance throughout all of history, past, present, and future. | |

| in Cruising for Bad Boys |
|
Edited by Mickey Erlach |
|
StarBOOKS Press, paperback 2009 |
In his third STARbooks Press anthology, CRUISING FOR BAD BOYS, Mickey Erlach leaves the cozy confines of the bedroom to seek out sex in the riskiest of locales. Have you ever seen a man in a suit at a truck stop? A preppy frat boy in a public park after midnight? A nerdy man walking down the street in the wrong part of town? They aren't lost. They're looking for bad boys, and when they find them, the fun begins. The best part is when the suit and glasses come off, and the trick is no longer the wildest one in the room … or in the park.
CRUISING FOR BAD BOYS includes contributions from the hottest authors in world of erotica, including Amanda Young, Barry Lowe, Christopher Pierce, David C. Muller, David Holly, Derrick Della Giorgia, Jamie Freeman, Jay Starre, Martin Delacroix, Owen Keehnen, Rob Rosen, Ryan Field, Stephen Osborne, and Xan West. |

| Climbing up the wall |
| in HARD HATS |
|
Edited by Neil Plakcy |
|
Cleis Press, paperback, 2008 |
Construction workers, plumbers, gardeners or any hard working man with a tool belt play a part in many gay male fantasies. In this steamy collection we take a ride to the top of a high rise under construction for a precarious steel beam encounter, go down in the belly of a dark steamy mine, hang out with some hunky sweaty landscapers and slip into the construction manager's office for a quickie. Wherever we go, you'll find sexy, men loving men who are turned on by more than their buddies' tools, in this world the hats are not the only thing that's hard.
"A man's finally getting his roof repaired on his rented apartment, by two seriously hunky Aussie contractors. Well, one thing just naturally leads to another when one roofer has a little accident. Snappy dialog, along with humorous awkward moments makes for an entertaining read, but the bittersweet tinged ending makes this an exceptional read." - Louisa Clarke, amazon.com |

| Night of the Mogggy |
| in JUSTIFIED & ANCIENT | Justified & Ancient is a retrospective of Oz gay male writing from the late 1970s. Featuring work by William Yang (then known as photographer and poet Will Young), Dave Sargent, Barry Lowe, Ian MacNeill and Gary Dunne, this collection paints a portrait of a very familiar place, but at a very different time. It's a unique view of where we've come from, and a surprising reminder of just how far we've travelled in the past 30 years. |

Edited by Lawrence Schimel |

Alyson, paperback, 1999 | From the dates-from-hell to love-at-first-sight, Boy Meets Boy is the ultimate rumination about romance, dating, and/or sex for the modern gay man. This collection of observations, anecdotes, essays, wishful thinking, and out-and-out lies celebrates and bemoans all the experiences that collectively compose that mixed blessing called "dating."
Ranging in tone from cute and romantic to bitchy and hilarious, with contributions from Matthew Rettenmund, Barry Lowe, Michael Lassell, D. Travers Scott, David Feinberg, Kerry Bashford, and Larry Duplechan, Boy Meets Boy is touching, amusing, heartwarming, and laugh-out-loud funny as it memorializes (and viciously mocks) the absurd situations,embarrassing |

Lawrence Schimel |
|
Carroll & Graf, paperback, 1998 | Since the early 1990s gay male erotic writing has gained greater acceptance in the world of mainstream publishing. Fiction and nonfiction erotic anthologies have appeared and titillated millions of men who formally found these delights only between the covers of porno magazines.
Lawrence Schimel's The Mammoth Book of Gay Erotica is one of the best additions to this growing genre. Schimel has reprinted old favorites by writers such as Aaron Travis and Bill Mann, as well as excerpts from novels by notables such as Christopher Bram, Neil Bartlett, and Alan Hollinghurst.
The Mammoth Book of Gay Erotica also features new stories by Paul Elliott Russell, Lars Eighner, and Andrew Holleran and rediscovered writings by Edmund White and Michael Denneny. Sexy, sweaty, sweet, and often very moving, this collection renews your faith in the sexual power and performance of the written word. |
