When three hunky young newcomers to San Francisco are hired by a
mysterious unseen boss to fulfill the fantasies of horny men, they get
more—much more—than they bargained for. Their erotic adventures take
them from a gangbang in a sleazy motel to a leather-clad day at a
fetishists’ fair, from a houseful of naked Marines to a Halloween orgy
at an A-gay’s mansion. Their clients range from a famous soap opera star
to a closeted rightwing preacher, from a trio of masochistic cheese
salesmen to a rich kid who gets hard for motorcycle gear. And their
lives become enmeshed in a web of lust, love, and murder most foul.
Famed erotic author Simon Sheppard’s first novel is a fast-paced,
sex-drenched, literate romp filled with more kinks than the Kama Sutra
and more sex than you can shake a stiffy at. So join Bobby, Adam, and
Will as they shed their clothes, their inhibitions, and go on assignment
for The Dirty Boys’ Club.
Praise for Simon Sheppard
“Simon Sheppard’s stories have all the erotic heat required, but in
addition, they’re wildly inventive, unexpectedly funny, and sad. Some
even supply a pure, and purely unexpected, literary excitement.“ —Felice
Picano
“You’ll probably be amazed by Sheppard’s facile imagination and his
ability to choose just the right words to express how aroused his
characters feel. He accomplishes what only gifted storytellers can
accomplish: He makes you feel excited about just being yourself.” —The
Erotica Readers Association
“Sheppard’s work pulls an erotic trigger.” —Unzipped Magazine
“Who is Simon Sheppard? The ‘erotica king’ of San Francisco. An editor,
columnist, award winner, delightful elder lecher…. That his writing
receives accolades from Felice Picano and Gavin Atlas speaks for
itself.” —Out in Print
Coming To: A Collection of Erotic & Other Epiphanies
by Lukas Hand
What gay man hasn't had that encounter with another man that turned his
world upside down? When he was left sweating and out of breath, heart
pounding, perspective askew because the sensuality of warm flesh and
breath is as intoxicating as any drug? Author Lukas Hand has collected
stories of just these brief trysts, the ones we've all had--or wished
we'd had--that meet at the crossroads of guilt and passion, repression
and ardor. Previous engagements that end in surprising
ways, drunken groomsmen at weddings, even a famous reporter
named Clark with a penchant for dashing off...these are the assignations
Hand offers readers in Coming To. All are memorable. All are
arousing.
Strawberries and cream might be a popular dessert but save some topping
for this decadent collection of stories by Jerry Wheeler, a writer who
enjoys his blend of the sweet and the sticky. From the titular tale of a
farmer in low-slung jeans growing a peculiar crop to gypsy magic that
brings out the "bear" in a bottom to the tale of a grand hunt by an
immortal who feeds off the talent, as well as flesh, of musicians,
Strawberries and Other Erotic Fruits promises
readers words that will conjure desire like a mythical aphrodisiac. But
there's a price to pay for such magic, as several of the men in these
stories learn. Turn a page, unbutton, relax, and sink your teeth into
this book. The taste will linger for days.
Follow the further adventures of sexy Brad, the randy, frustrated, cute,
lovable, playful young man who is the protagonist of Ken Smith's
humorous and erotic novels. When Simon develops a crush on Brad, an
elusive chase begins.
In pursuit of love with the "dreamboat" sailor, Simon encounters hunky
farmhand Liam and Brad engaged in some serious fun, and soon a chase
begins. But Simon is not brave enough just yet and lets Brad slip from
his clutches. Brad, meanwhile, has a sexy encounter with a horny yet
closeted boy-band member. Simon has his own encounter with bully Wayne.
Like any true and handsome prince, Brad soon comes to lad's rescue.
Since its first publication in 2004, My Name Is Rand has been embraced
by ticklephiles around the world. No other novel is so devoted to
exploring, celebrating, and even mythologizing the BDSM aspects of
male-on-male tickling. Read an interview with Wayne Courtois at the Big Tickle and look at photos
“I can’t remember when I’ve been so disturbed and turned on at the same
time. If a writer has ever more successfully put Eros and Thanatos in
the sixty-nine position than Wayne Courtois, I want to know who it is.”
—Marshall Moore, author of An Ideal for Living and The Concrete Sky
“Courtois delivers an Odyssey of extreme bondage and tickle-torture
sure to elicit gasps and groans in equal measure. My Name is Rand
explores new sexual territory where men are bound and tickled to the
point of madness, submitting completely to their master’s desires. This
goes well beyond the typical S&M scenes you’ve become accustomed
to; Wayne Courtois takes you on a strange and intensely erotic journey
you’ve never yet imagined.”
—Sean Meriwether, author of The Silent Hustler
“Courtois himself is obviously a devotee of tickling...but a novel this
finely crafted isn’t just about tickling. The subtext is about how we
connect with each other—or fail to—skin to skin.”
—David Stein, All American Kink
“Courtois’s technique, style, and plot are truly visionary and all his own. With its submissive concept, My Name Is Rand could surely top the best gay fiction of the decade.”
—Andrew Wolter, X-Factor
“[A]as far as I know this is the first full-bore novel to detail the
power of being tightly bound and tickled to the point of orgasmic
madness. Courtois’s prose is dark, nightmarish, unrelenting, and—for
some—even unsettling, in its depiction of coercive sex, forced bondage,
and near-torture as a pathway to pleasure. More. No more. Yes, more.”
—Richard Labonté, Books to Watch Out For
“This book contains the most extreme male tickle-torture I’ve read
anywhere—as well as subtle treatment of much bigger ideas than I
expected. Terrific prose, overwhelming action, challenging food for
thought. Extra-dark, completely relentless, with some “paranormal”
tickling in there too (a personal favorite)…some great plot twists,
too. I’m impressed beyond words that this book was written—and
published.”
—Cor, TMZ (www.asstr.org/~tmz)
“My Name Is Rand does for wriggling, unrelenting, tickling fingers what The Texas Chainsaw Massacre did for chainsaws.”
—Ian Philips, author of The Rapture for Big Sinners: 66 + 6 Things to Do Before and After the Righteous Lift Off

More Hot Fluffer Fun -- this time in the Great White North.
Charlie Heggensford, the Idaho farm boy turned LA fluffer for hire, is
back for another crazy/sexy adventure. With Rock Harding on tour in The
Netherlands, Charlie is forced to find ways to occupy himself: on his
knees, on his back. And in trouble.
Charlie gets in so much trouble that his boss, Kinitia Jones,
encourages him to take some time off and get out of town. Charlie goes
to Vancouver, Canada to visit his good friend and former bear porn
star, Brent Harrington, who now owns a pet store, Canadian Critters.
When a member of Brent’s bowling team begins to have attendance
problems, Charlie steps in as a sub. Soon Charlie is throwing balls
around the alley and giving new meaning to the term “pin action” in the
back room. A string of pet store break-ins has a hot police inspector
keeping his eye on Brent, and when the evidence begins to stack up
against his friend, Charlie decides it’s time to take matters into his
own hands. As Charlie creates havoc in the pet store, he and Brent work
on narrowing their list of suspects and follow their clues to hunky
deliverymen and raunchy sex clubs, all the while struggling to keep the
bowling team, The Vancouver Vixens, in the league’s top spot.
