A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to My Sexual Orientation
by Kage Alan
Welcome to the world of 19-year-old Andy Stevenson, where life is ruled by Murphy’s Law and if something doesn’t seem like it can get any worse, it generally does.
1989: The adventure begins during the summer when Andy accompanies his grandmother on a six-day trip to California. Upon arrival, however, life becomes a series of comical faux pas, with relatives who can’t remember his name, women who want to charge him $10 to put suntan lotion on their bodies and a handsome young man who kisses him at an anniversary party. It’s that kiss that sets off a chain reaction in Andy and forces him to reexamine what he thinks he knows, what society wants him to believe and why so many people are talking about his “assets.”

Dancing in the Kitchen
by Linda Andrews
Alistair Eugene Holmes’ life depends on his ability to pass as ordinary and dull. Blending with the university’s students, he enters the archeology’s museum with one purpose: Steal the Death stone one of the professors has unearthed. A moment’s distraction by the pretty curator gets him tossed out of the museum. When he manages to sneak back inside, the death stone has been replaced by a fake onyx. Which of the three suspects left the taunting message written in black magic? The cocky Dixon, the manipulative Olivia or the love blind Hannah?
Adventure and excitement. For twenty-seven years, Hannah Jessup has dreamt of escaping her hum-drum middle class existence. She’s spent years building exhibits around the musty collection of archeological artifacts to gain the attention of one man: Cooper Dixon, the university’s answer to Indiana Jones. On the eve of the exhibit’s opening, she is absolutely certain his proposal is imminent.
On the big day, Coop’s failure to propose is exacerbated by the introduction of his new assistant: cute, seductive Olivia Palmer. She takes Hannah’s place on the spring dig, at the exhibit’s opening and insinuates herself into the romantic dinner planned for Coop’s return. Irritated but determined, Hannah adapts to the new rules of the game by using Alistair to make Coop jealous.
Alistair readily agrees to Hannah’s plan. As her beau, he can keep his three suspects under close surveillance. Too close, in Hannah’s case. His heart ignores the pretense of their courtship and doesn’t care if she loves another. Attempting to clear her of suspicion, he enters her dreams only to be seduced himself. The night of the opening, his nemesis attacks.
Unexplained fires, rats and cockroaches are just the beginning and soon the dying begins.

by Elizabeth K. Burton
Randrik alt Harbinnen prepares to battle the invasion led by Hasdrugon, the Chief Servant of the Black Sanctorum in Estlin. Although Randrik and his lifemate Perian, now once again known as Dawnstar among her Drevnya people, banished Azdrefel the Souleater back to the Everdark, the Souleater’s chief priest is still determined his god will not remain in exile.
As refugees from the heavy hand of the Estlinis flee to the Great Forest, Randrik begins training a rebel army, hoping that humans and magic-users together may be enough to defeat the invaders. To Perian’s frustration, he refuses to allow her to join him. However, she comes to realize that he has a point–unless and until she can overcome her childhood abuse and embrace her heritage completely, she will never have full access to the power that is hers.
She meets with the head of the Loremaster’s Guild and is assigned to work with Stormcaller, a handsome loremaster who may be the only one with enough strength of magic and personality to deal with her. Before they can begin, however, a traitorous Mage kidnaps Perian and delivers her into the hands of the one man she hoped never to see again: Hasdrugon.
