From
the Editor...April 2008
We've just
about run out of our spring winds, and today is absolutely beautiful.
It's past the mid point of April, and it's 85° outdoors under a
clear, blue sky. Those blossoms on the apricot, plum, and other trees
are now bearing fruit, and it won't be long before we're actually
picking the apricots and boiling them down in a big pot to make apricot
fried pies or some sort of jam. I said April, folks! I understand you're just now about to get a shovel into the ground up there in the northeast and upper midwest.
Andrew Barriger's newest novel, Garden of the Sons, was a very good read. I took time away from my busy editing schedule (I work for a POD company as one of its editors and for Two Brothers Press as an editor and typesetter) to read Garden of the Sons.
It has literally been years since I have read a scifi novel, and even
longer than that since I have enjoyed one as much as I did this one. Garden is not
a space western, but more along the lines of some of the more thought
provoking scifi that I read a long time ago. What will become of
humanity once it leaves the green hills of the mother planet, Earth?
Will we advance toward uptopian ideals for woman/mankind? What might it
be like if we ever achieve the ability to travel at the speed of light?
Our fate, in this novel, is in the hands of what might be called a
gallactic corporation—quite a bit more powerful than the
multinationals we have today. And what of acceptance of sexuality,
expressed as many ways as we do today? Will those who are different be
repressed or accepted—or will all sexualities be rather ho-hum in
this possible future? And what about artificial intelligence? This
novel contemplates all this and more. If you're a fan of scifi and like
to contemplate those larger questions, this is definitely a book worth
reading.

How long does it really take to fall in love?
It's her birthday, but lonely workaholic Dana Watts is at the office
late, drafting a proposal. She is interrupted by the very last thing
she would have expected: the most beautiful breasts she has ever seen.
These belong to an incredibly hot stripper, a birthday present from a
friend who thinks she needs to loosen up.
Laurel Stanley has never encountered a more ungrateful strip-o-gram
recipient than Dana. The uptight project manager makes it clear that
she is furious to be distracted from her work and equally appalled by
Laurel's occupation.
When Dana insists on escorting Laurel from the building, the two women
take an elevator ride that changes everything. Stuck with each other
for thirteen long hours after the elevator breaks down, they discover
how wrong first impressions can be—and how right two strangers
can feel together.
Can everything change in less than a day? Dana and Laurel set out to
discover if their passionate elevator encounter can mean more in this
fast-paced, erotic story of lust, loneliness, fantasy, and desire.

As a senior investigator for a high-end insurance company, Diana needs
to find the person responsible for the theft of a rare sword. While
Diana struggles to protect her burgeoning relationship with
kindergarten teacher, Cami Michaelson, the investigation leads her into
a bitter world of rage and revenge. Diana uncovers one damning piece of
evidence after another that challenges everything she knows about right
and wrong. She finds her hard-driving work ethic, which demands the

she draws Diana deeper into a dark subculture of sex, power, and death,
Ali must choose between vengeance and peace if she hopes to escape with
her sanity intact.

movie star girlfriend, Hannah Corrant. Amid the excitement of
shooting multimillion-dollar movies and being photographed by the

continually that her life couldn't be better. That is, until she
arrives in Florida to begin shooting her next film. There she
meets Dawn Brock, a beautiful, deeply spiritual artist, who sets off
sparks that Kate cannot allow to ignite. But just how can she
quell the attraction that burns so intensely and the growing connection
that seems impossibly unavoidable? And what will happen when
Hannah arrives in town for the movie shoot? From
behind-the-scenes rendezvous to center-stage passions, Kate discovers
that love on location doesn't always follow the script.

“With
its vivid dissection of Los Angeles low life and intriguing characters,
you may find it tough to put down…” —People magazine
(“Beach Book of the Week”)
“Suspenseful and moving…sexy too…”
—The Washington Post
“This finally crafted first novel is a knockout…this page-turner is superb.”
—Frontiers, Los Angeles
Revision of Justice
“…a stark, absorbing, and seemingly authentic tour of the Hollywood fringes…”
—Publishers Weekly
“This is a terrific novel, with a tight plot and good characters.”
—Toronto Globe & Mail
Lambda Literary Award winner Justice at Risk
“A
startlingly complex and refreshingly sophisticated mystery,

combination of urbanity and hard-boiled sleuthing.”

Lambda Literary Award winner The Limits of Justice
“The
Limits of Justice is Wilson’s fourth installment in the
