Fourteen year-old Will Barnett is stunned speechless one morning when he meets his Uncle Sean and is driven to say, "Why, I never seen such soft, girlish lips on a guy before...I wondered right then how it'd feel to kiss him."

When Lance and Will meet on a windswept ledge on the edge of a desert mountain, neither young man knows the trials they will each face. Lance, the troubled, violet-eyed young man will find the love and support of a family he never had. But more importantly the pure love of a man—for Life. But he must make a heart-wrenching choice: to embrace that love, or take the opportunity of a lifetime, which may well mean giving up his chance at love.

But Andy Coulter's more ambitious than that. He wants to teach physical education, all four years. He wants his own Kinsey Institute, to study human sexuality rigorously, comprehensively, and fearlessly. Most of all, he wants to find out how to prevent internalized homophobia and teach 18-year-olds to live life fully.

He's even got one little plan so sinister, so culturally terrifying, it's top secret. He calls it Project W.

You may not agree with his methods, but then, you're not Commando Colt, and he is.

Young, healthy people are dying during the sexual act from stroke and cardiac arrest.

Homicide detectives Sandra Van Ness and Walter Kearns believe there must be foul play involved but they have nothing to go on. No method, motive, forcible entry, struggle or weapons. There are no bacterial or viral compromises. No congenital histories of stroke or heart attack. No evidence of drugs or sado-masochistic play gone awry. One link connects these, otherwise, unrelated deaths. A woman.

A behavioral institute is seeking her. To protect her. Kearns and Van Ness are also seeking her, to arrest her for murder, until Sandra Van Ness comes face to face with her and is irrevocably changed.

Is this woman committing serial murder or does the answer defy human reason?

Casper goes through life as the “invisible boy”; invisible to the boys that pick on him in school, invisible to his abusive father, and invisible most of all to his older brother, who makes his life a living hell. He can’t believe his good luck when Brendan, the most popular boy in school, takes an interest in him and becomes his friend. That friendship soon travels in a direction that Casper would never have guessed.

A Better Place is the story of an unlikely pair, who struggle through friendship and betrayal, hardships and heartbreaks, to find the desire of their hearts, to find a better place.

Angus had lost track of his younger brother through the years. He'd been too busy trying to clear the jungles of Vietnam out of his brain. And now Earl is dead, his body found on the Manhattan waterfront, in one of the West Village's notorious gay cruising areas. Recent photos of Earl before he died show a sweet, laughing face, surrounded by the feathery blond curls of a cherub. His diary reveals a life on the street, a needle in his arm, his body wracked with drugs paid for by men wanting love in return.

Angus's grim journey into his brother's brief life leads him to a dark corner of society he never knew existed, and the dark corners of his own soul he wishes he could forget.

Overcoming prejudice through childhood, ostracized by the Church, criticized by many for making a living as a female impersonator...

A story that concludes with a decision that is most courageous—to change sex and deal with all the obstacles that go along with it.
