Those Who Wait	by Veronica Lynch Sep. 05, 2010	$1.99	8027 words	Sample 10%

You can't spend twelve years haunting police stations, Emergency Rooms and criminal courts, without coming away with a feel for rampant misogyny, overwhelming apathy or overt bigotry. I retired my speculum a few years ago but continue to advocate for marginalized populations through Amnesty International and Doctors Without Borders.

The Window Cleaner	by Carl East Sep. 05, 2010	$0.99	5482 words	Sample 40%
Author bio: I was born In Hull, Yorkshire, England in 1956. I started to write at the age of 44 in the year 2000, and I wasn't very good. I slowly learned over the years that followed, mainly from people online who gave up their time to help me. I chose to write imaginative things, and sometimes allowed my own imagination to get away from me. I started with erotic tales before going onto more serious stuff, although having said that my erotic stories have been popular. The first book I got published was "The Second Apprentice" followed closely by "The Talking Sword" both of which are sword and sorcerer type tales. My favorite release though was "Hell's Gate" but none of these three books have been downloaded yet and they're all available at Amazon. They just seem to want my erotic stories. lol I now live in America and have done for the past 5 years. As you can see from my photo I'm happily married and intend to stay that way. Carl

Me and Mr. Collins	by B.K. Wright Sep. 05, 2010	$1.99	5243 words	Sample 20%
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.
