June 21, 2011 -- "Truth or Dare" Available as e-Book
Truth or Dare - Which choice is made reveals so much about the player. The characters in Truth or Dare are balanced on the edge of a decision - to trust or not, to leap or not, to be honest or not... to love, or not.
From a professional soldier confronting the repeal of DADT, to a young man facing the consequences of infidelity, from a scientist pushing the limits of viewing the future to woman eager to test her own boundaries, these characters face their fears of action and of the truth to learn about themselves and the nature of love.

Call for Submissions - "Queer Magic"
Slash Books is looking for short stories (500 - 20K words) that explore gay, lesbian, or alternative lifestyle romance. Be creative!
Sword and Sorcery. Supernatural creatures. Magic. Sexy and sensuous, the characters in "Queer Magic" live in worlds where the supernatural is sometimes hidden, sometimes well known, but always real. Each story in this anthology includes aspects of magic or the supernatural, from time travel to exotic realms.
The chosen stories will be published in print and e-book form, and all authors will be compensated based on story length as well as per item sold, with a typical fee of approximately $100 CAD per story. Each author will also get up to three printed copies of the full anthology free of charge. Your story should focus on the relationship and its evolution. While sex is a part of a healthy relationship, we're looking for plot and characterization, not simple PWP (Plot? What Plot?). Intriguing characters and interesting situations are the ticket to success here. Be creative! All genres (humour, action, angst, etc) welcome. For this anthology, we're aiming for happy endings.
Deadline for submissions: June 25 2011
Approximate release date: July 31 2011
Full submissions guidelines can be downloaded HERE (right-click and select 'save-as'), or by emailing submissions@slashbooks.ca.

December 7, 2010 -- "In Uniform" Available in print
Nothing is sexier than a person in uniform... except, maybe, a person out of one, and these men know it! But things aren't always that simple. From an English bobby watching Alan Turing at the end of World War II to a future world where conception requires three partners; from an American airman in Iraq who has to choose between love and family to a Hollywood screenwriter who faces a decision between compromise and success, one thing is true:
Love is complicated.
