  Colm McKenna has led a guarded life. Gifted with a wintry soul and a photographer’s eye, he can stop time as easily as he freezes water, or call down cold north winds. He thinks he is alone and unique in the world. Then, seemingly by accident, he meets handsome writer Aidan Gallagher, his opposite, a young man who raises temperatures as easily as he quickens Colm’s heart.
  
  In this lighthearted, gay romantic fantasy, can two male witches whose passion reincarnates century after century, find a way to express their love for each other again? Can this enchanting pair finally succeed after so many lifetimes?

• Messages In A Bottle: An Era of Transformation (2008) by Philip F. Harris
  Messages in a bottle are sent for one of three reasons: you are in need of help, you are responding to a request for help, or you just want to connect with new people. In a way, this series of "messages" meets all three of those criteria. We live in a time and a world of uncertainty. Our entire reality is shifting as environmental, spiritual, political, social and economic institutions are breaking apart and transforming. People are searching for new answers since the old answers no longer seem valid.
  In this first of a series "messages" we hear from noted authors, healers and mystics as they offer their words of advice and wisdom on topics that will help us enter the "era of transformation." In this "bottle" listen to the words of:

  • Steven Mayber, Healer

  • Sandi Kimmls, Songwriter and singer

• Focus on the Fabulous: Colorado GLBT Voices (2007), Matt Kailey, ed.
  In Colorado, the conservatives are ultra, the liberals are flaming, and the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered population thrives alongside some of the most anti-gay organizations in the country. Now, in Focus on the Fabulous: Colorado GLBT Voices, thirty-three of the state's GLBT writers explore their history, their land, their loves, and their lives in a groundbreaking collection of short fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry that is sure to make readers see Colorado--and its GLBT community--in a new and exciting way. From Amendment 2 to gender reassignment and from PrideFest to prairie sage, the diversity reflects the many facets of Colorado as seen through the eyes of its GLBT resident writers.

• Charmed Lives: Gay Spirit in Storytelling (2006), Steve Berman and Toby Johnson, eds. -- Finalist for Lambda Literary Awards for Best GLBT Anthology
  Storytelling can be a way of spinning straw into gold, of showing ourselves we have drawn a long straw in this life. Charmed Lives offers readers a collection of over thirty short works of fiction and personal essays as an alternative to the stories that society often tells about gay men. Some are whimsical with a touch of enchantment, some profoundly spiritual, others romantic--all offer insight into modern gay life that will inspire and shed light on the grace of being gay with tales of hope against adversity and love over loneliness.

• Rebel Yell: Stories by Contemporary Southern Gay Authors (2001), Jay Quinn, ed.
  Rebel Yell continues the tradition of Southern literature with the work of contemporary gay men. Here you'll find works by contemporary Southern gay authors such as: Robin Lippincott, Jameson Currier, Walter Holland, John Trumbo, Andrew Beierle, George Singer, Jeff Mann, and editor Jay Quinn, whose own story, 465 Acres, examines one man's rebellion against the long-held expectations of farm and family. The rotting plantations of Faulkner and Williams have long been bulldozed to accommodate the spread of tract housing and shopping malls, but the tales of the South, now told by a current generation, still spring from the hearts, groins, and minds of its sons. Rebel Yell is a singular collection of those stories, told in the soft accents of the gay men who know both the horror and tenderness that is their heritage.
