Selfish and Perverse
by Smith, Bob

Inventory Status: Usually Ships in 1-5 days

When a burned-out Hollywood sketch show writer named Nelson Kunker meets and falls for Roy Briggs, a part-time salmon fisherman/full-time archaeology student who's visiting from Alaska, hilarity, love, and debauchery ensue.

First You Fall
(Kevin Connor Mystery)
by Sherman, Scott
Format:  Trade Paperback
Price:  $14.95
Published: Alyson Books, 2008
Inventory Status: Special Order - Subject to Availability

When his friend's death is ruled a suicide, Kevin Connor-a hustler by trade, sleuth by default-sets out to prove a case of murder. It doesn't help matters that the victim's grown children, who disapproved of their father's gay lifestyle, are only concerned about their inheritance. But they are not Kevin's only problem. His high-strung mother has moved in with him-and she knows nothing about his questionable . . . job.

Scott Sherman has written for "Newsweek," "Genre," "Instinct," and "The Washington Blade." He is the host of the number-one rated "The Digital Photography Show" on The Podcast Network.
