 I'm
pleased to introduce two new books coming out in September/October. Walking Higher , edited by Alexander
Renault, is a collection of essays written by gay men about the deaths
of their mothers. The Phoenix ,
by Ruth Sims, is a Victorian novel set in England and America with all
the trappings of those delicious Victorian novels of the 19th Century.
So I'm featuring them both, this issue. And I'm pleased to announce the
            complete Book One  of The Twilight of
the Gods trilogy is now published.

 Description:
 
 A mysterious plague is sweeping up from the south in the country
of Omoham, driving the Omoham'Eye northward. In the path of the fleeing
citizens, whole villages are decimated... A whole country is at risk.
Amid this chaos comes the conquering Ch'turc with a vast army, seizing
the Omoham'Eye for slaves, setting new laws in place.  The fate of
the country hangs in the balance, until the emergence of a savior known
simply as Jeru Stone Felder and his mate Eríl. But will Jeru
save the world or destroy it?
