April 21, 2004Sean Meriwether came to the Internet understanding the
huge potential for exchanging ideas and information, and developed his
website as a platform to promote his fiction and work. Beginning with a
free webspace at Geocities.com, he learned to hardcode HTML because it
was more versatile than their WYSIWYG editor. His search for versatility
encouraged him to develop beyond the limitations of straight HTML into
PHP, CSS, JavaScript, and other dynamic functions.
He took that knowledge and constructed websites as
canvases to experiment upon and hone his skills. Among them is
Outsider Ink, an alternative ezine
established in 1999 to promote fiction, poetry and artwork that defies
categorization. He has developed a global readership of approximately
50,000 per quarterly issue. The ezine has been praised for its bold
content and sleek design and named as one of the top five markets for
new writers by Writer’s Digest in 2003. Building upon the success of
Outsider Ink, he created Velvet Mafia: Dangerous Queer Fiction
exclusively for marketing gay fiction. His experience as an editor for
the two ezines has helped him ferret out the strengths and weaknesses in
other writer's fiction, lessons he was able to apply to his own work.
His work has or will be published in Love Under Foot and
Best Gay Erotica 2002, and appeared online in
Lodestar Quarterly and
3AM
Magazine. He is currently working on several projects including a novel
about a young gay man growing up in a small rural town, and a collection
of short fiction.
Sean graduated from New York University with a BA in
English and Creative Writing, and continues to further his education by
entering intense periods of study and experimentation. -- from

Men of Mystery: Homoerotic Tales of Intrigue and Suspense (2007), co-edited with
Greg Wharton
-- Finalist 2007 Lambda Literary Award for
Anthologies
Sixteen stories of erotic gambles where you stand to lose as much as you
gain.
Queer sex has always been dangerous--the physical act shared between men has
been punishable by humiliation, imprisonment, violence, and death. But as gays
move into the mainstream, is queer sex losing its edge? Has the gritty glamour
of being a sexual outlaw faded? Men of Mystery presents 16 stories that
abandon the sanitized version of homosexuality to drive down darker alleys
searching for crimes of passion and hard sex that still carries a threat.
You'll meet dirty cops who harass their suspects, shifty criminals who'll
leave you aching for more, Mob types who live with the constant threat of
death...even ghosts from beyond the grave who demand a whole new definition of
pleasure. Hard guys, tough guys, rough guys who live in a down-and-dirty world
where a real man takes what he wants whenever he wants it.
Men of Mystery gathers gay erotica's best and boldest writers to take
you outside society's boundaries to do with you exactly as they please. Some
of the stories return to the days before Stonewall, to a time of secret lives
and hidden sex, when every tryst was still a crime. Others introduce you to
the shadowy figures of the underworld; mobsters and hit men, chop shoppers and
classic villains. Private dicks nosing their way into the tawdry underbelly of
society, feeding their own desires while they service their clients; cops who
are as hard on each other as they are on their suspects. And tales from
beyond, where sensual spirits tease mortal men into paranormal submission.
