Ana's Spoons

Welcome to the second monthly celebration of F/F fiction! F/F, by the way, stands for Female/Female (not Fan Fiction) pairings that may or may not be romantic. We’ve had two days of free-for-all F/F promotions, but today I’d like to kindly ask you to refrain from promoting your own books, friend’s books, publisher, or other services. The goal for today’s discussion is to establish a common ground for future F/F discussions and give new readers a place to start. For the top five classic F/F books, plays, and movies everyone should read, here is Anastasia Vitsky’s list: The Price of … Read more

Ink and Shadows

DSP Publications author Rhys Ford has a new paranormal book out: Kismet Andreas lives in fear of the shadows. For the young tattoo artist, the shadows hold more than darkness. He is certain of his insanity because the dark holds creatures and crawling things only he can see—monsters who hunt out the weak to eat their minds and souls, leaving behind only empty husks and despair. And if there’s one thing Kismet fears more than being hunted—it’s the madness left in its wake. The shadowy Veil is Mal’s home.

Review: “Urban Shaman” by Lyn Gala

by

Genre: Gay Urban Paranormal Length: Novel Note: I’m going to come right out and say it. I’ve reviewed Lyn Gala before—because she’s absolutely phenomenal. So this review is going to be totally bias. You’ve been warned. (Okay, I’m sort of joking about this review being a complete fangirl moment. Sort of.) Detective Miguel Rassin, the precinct’s biggest troublemaker, knows he’s being punished when he gets paired with the precinct’s biggest asshole, Detective Rob Jackson. In an act of either complete brilliance or desperation (or both), the captain blesses the duo with the most sensitive case in this part of New … Read more

Discussion: Zombies Among Us

by
gay zombie

Today’s topic comes from QSFer and admin Angel Martinez: “Zombie stories – can you have a successful zombie romance? How does this work without someone losing important pieces? Are there non-apocalyptic zombie stories out there?” I loved the zombies in the Xanth series, and there have been a couple marginally successful zombie love stories in film and TV. I’ll defer to Angel’s questions above. What do you think? Come join the conversation.
