• Amazons: Sexy Tales of Strong Women (2006) with Sage Vivant
  Amazons is an erotic, frequently funny, and potentially disturbing anthology of stories about larger-than-life women. These tales are told by a wide variety of writers, reflecting a range of viewpoints and story styles.
  
  In Amazons, writers such as Catherine Lundoff, Chris Bridges, Susan St. Aubin, Bryn Colvin, and Jason Rubis "play" with the erotic theme of the Amazon, expounding upon and deconstructing the image of strong women in a variety of wide-ranging stories. These and many more acclaimed authors of erotica explore the cliché of the powerful woman. These are not simply stories of the classical myth (though some play tribute to it). These stories dismantle the legend and break the myth apart, exploding it as it relates to gender, power, femininity vs. masculinity, and women’s roles in history.
  
  Amazons includes worshipful tales of the legendary female warriors, fantasies about modern amazons cruising city streets, midgets (with attitude), cowgirls, giants, supermodels (with attitude), matriarchs, mothers (and grandmothers), cops, jocks, soldiers, bosses and many others. These stories are funny and sarcastic, horrific, light and fantastic, scary — but always incredibly erotic.

• Garden of the Perverse (2006) with Sage Vivant
  We all grew up with weird tales from the Brothers Grimm, the charming Disney stories, and the other childhood rhymes and verses. But even when we first heard them, we questioned the obscure motivations of the principal characters. Our curious minds wondered why a smart girl with a red hood would wander into the forest alone or what circumstances would force a woman to live in a shoe.
  
  Now that we're all grown, we know that sex often explains the seemingly inexplicable — and that's what writers show us in this delightfully twisted volume of alternative fables and fairy tales.
  
  Rather than play with existing tales, Garden of the Perverse is a showcase for the delightfully wicked imaginations of erotica's top authors as they create new and wholly original myths and fables. Though reminiscent in flavor and style to traditional fairy tales, these stories wander into new and unique lands of surreal eroticism, exploring sensual and fetish dynamics in a diverse scope of fantastic places, bizarre creatures and adventures.
  
  Garden of the Perverse captures the imagination with as much story craft as eroticism, and gives free rein to these talented writers with their brand of new fairy tales to tell.

• Transgender Erotica: Trans Figures (2006)
  Discover the limitless wonder of steamy transgender sensuality!

Sage Vivant, owner of Custom Erotica Source and author of hundreds of erotic stories, and M. Christian, author of the critically acclaimed and bestselling collections Dirty Words, Speaking Parts, and The Bachelor Machine combine forces to deliver the very best in bisexual erotica.
  
  The Best of Both Worlds: Bisexual Erotica introduces you to men and women, some experienced, some simply curious, who tear down the walls of gender to explore all of their desires. The unbridled heat of these stories is undeniable. But beyond that, these authors explore the true nature of bisexuality and the conflicts between desire and the expectations of family and society. No matter what your taste in erotica—male/male, female/female, threesomes, orgies, swinging, bondage, dominance and submission—there’s something here to tempt you and to make you think.
  
  From coming out as bisexual for the first time to being the "voice of experience" and initiating a novice to bisexuality, the men and women in The Best of Both Worlds: Bisexual Erotica open the door to new possibilities as they explore the innermost desires of their bodies—and their souls.

In Paul McAuley’s chilling "Prison Dreams" convicts are given implants that monitor their brains—and are punished for illegal thoughts and dreams. "A Scanner Darkly" (soon to be a major motion picture) by Blade Runner–author Philip K. Dick turns the tables on an undercover cop whose computer-enhanced anonymity results in an assignment to investigate himself. In William Nolan’s "Violation," the author of Logan’s Run explores the laws of a world where machines judge and pass down sentences to human beings.

  Big trouble at night in the city. A gang of Vespa-riding vampires are killing San Franciscans so indiscriminately they threaten to not only drain the city dry--but risk the discovery of vampires everywhere. Gay vampire cop Valentino is called upon to stop the group calling themselves The Very Bloody Marys before the situation gets worse. Unfortunately, it already has. You see, Valentino is still only a trainee who is in way over his head now that Pogue, his mentor, is missing. And this brutal gang is tough, smart, and very, very bloodthirsty. To do his job, Valentino must move quickly--and carefully--otherwise he may just get himself killed. What can a creature of the night do? The only thing he can, track the gang through the haunts of some very odd characters, unravel the mystery, and try to stay out of the sun.

So begins M. Christian's debut novel, as unlike any book you have read as Doud is unlike any hero who has ever graced the pages of a novel. Set in contemporary Los Angeles, with excursions into the surreal outback of Southern California's high desert, Running Dry is a stunningly realized story of vengeance, loyalty, and the inescapable humanity of the inhuman.
