| Author bio: I have created/written Beau to Beau fictional stories of Male Love with sincerity to inspire gay men to embrace their sexuality and to enjoy their lives to the fullest, as is deservedly theirs to be realized. These stories are affirmations of the lives of gay men, a joyous celebration of the self as an entire person, not solely a gay person, which seems to be a “category†into which gay men have been thrust by the heterosexual community. This gay person categorization has been allotted with great negativity, seemingly to invoke a sense of shame into its inhabitants. Shame is not the gay man’s to be borne. Shame is the lot of the ignorant!~ My books are also available in print at my website - www.beautobeau.com. ~B.K. Wright~ Beau to Beau has a new author, B.J. Scott, who writes very XXX rated erotic gay short stories. They can be found at 1erotic ebooks, 1romance ebooks, and all romance ebooks, with full steamy excerpts on those sites. |

They are all children, born of my mind and each line of every story is created on its own. Sometimes I swear I am just the medium. I love my work.

Wait—make that breast-high by now, but then again, she’s not particularly tall. Her home is in western Massachusetts, with an alternate retreat in the mountains of New Hampshire.

A Secret Chill | by Kevin A. Carey-Infante Nov. 28, 2010 | $2.99 | 119991 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Mr. Carey-Infante was born and raised in suburban Philadelphia. He graduated from Millersville University of Pennsylvania in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Mr. Carey-Infante currently resides in the Bronx, New York, living with and married to the love of his life, Walter Infante. He writes what he likes to call realistic thriller fiction. The work that Mr. Carey-Infante is most proud of is his award winning short story TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, A 9/11 SHORT STORY. It's an inspirational story born out of the ashes of the tragedy of the World Trade Center disaster in New York City on September 11, 2001. Mr. Carey-Infante, who was abused and bullied as a child, is now an avid child abuse and LGBTQ anti-bullying advocate. He has made it his mission to end bullying of all kinds, and to make it better right now. What a better way to do that than to write about true-life experiences of abused and bullied teens and how they confront, over-come and even, in some cases, embrace their abusers and bulliers. You can follow Mr. Carey-Infante's LGBTQ teen stories through his Bani Chamberlain series of novelettes. The first two novelettes, BANI'S DILEMMA and BANI FINDS HER SOMETHING are now available for your enjoyment. Mr. Carey-Infante has extensively traveled the world and experienced life from a perspective not afforded many. Geoffrey S. Brooks, the protagonist in his novels OUR LITTLE SECRET and A SECRET CHILL, has been touted as the gay Jack Ryan, made famous by award-winning author Tom Clancy. Follow Geoffrey Brooks as he quietly captures image after image of his childhood, piecing together for us a tale of rape, murder and the loss of childhood innocence to the realization of a dream as an operative for the National Security Agency. For those of you into m/m erotica, Mr. Carey-Infante has written his first gay erotic thriller, titled ANATOMY OF AN INTERNET DECEPTION. It's an adults only erotic tale of love and deception taken from actual e-mail exchanges, really love letters, between two men who are unwittingly falling in love with each other. Both of them, however, have their own agendas…and love isn't one of them. |

A Song in the Park | by Martin Brant July 04, 2010 | $6.95 | 122979 words | Sample 15% |
| Author bio: "I was born on the banks of the Amazon River and raised by a Kaiapo wet-nurse while my mother conducted medical research and taught the Kaiapo children how to play the violin. After growing up with these rain forest natives and a long bout of malaria, I went on to get my degree in rocket science at the University of Uganda (U of U). To this day, I have not gotten a rocket off the ground. Presently, I’m trying to raise money to return to the Amazon to show gratitude to my surrogate mother, whom I’ve not seen in all these years. She always wanted a car hood to use as an awning over the door to her hut. I finally found one, on a 1973 Cadillac in a wrecking yard on a two-lane highway just south of Knoxville, Tennessee. Today, I take great satisfaction in spending time with my wife, in writing, and in telling lies." Author of "Five Married Men", "A Song in the Park", "The Partisans", "Erotic Tales for Enlightened Minds", and "The Strange Haunting of Johnny Feelwater", Martin resides in Dallas and is an advocate of human diversity. |

A Stranger in Triva | by Marten Weber March 29, 2011 | $6.69 | 94462 words | Sample 10% |
| Author bio: I am of mixed parentage (a man and a woman) and have lived in more countries than I can count on hands and feet together. I speak several languages, and believe in multiculturalism, tolerance, and free champagne also in economy class. I dislike bigots and fanatics of all denominations. I am hugely uncomfortable with labels, even seemingly benign ones such as 'gay,' 'straight,' or 'sugar-free' and prefer instead to judge people by their sense of humor and shoe size. I believe that everybody, regardless of race or gender, income or size of genitals, should be gay for a year. Over the past two decades, I have published hundreds of stories and novellas and set them free on the Internet, not always under my real name. Some of them have mated with other texts, music and videos, to produce the most curious offspring. One story has left the known universe and is currently a best-seller on Pharus II. Most of my recent books concern the lives and adventures of men, both today, in history, and in the future. |
