Steve Berman's Lair

• "Gomorrahs of the Deep, a Musical Coming Some Day to Off-Broadway" my story that features the homoeroticism of Herman Melville along with high school students is the lead-in story in Best Gay Romance 2012.
• I sold a story - "Arose from Poetry" - to the anthology Brave New Love: 13 Dystopian Tales of Desire, which comes out next year. 
• "Steeped in Debt to the Chimney-pots" another story about the sprite Tupp and the human thief Lind (who first appeared in The Faery Reel anthology) has been sold to Wilful Impropriety: 13 Tales of Society and Scandal
• "Bottom of the Menu" is a strange, meta-fictive literotica tale (does any of that make sense?) that will be published in The Dirty Diner from Bold Strokes Books in 2012.
• I signed a contract to do edit another YA anthology for Bold Strokes Books:  Boys of Summer. That should release in May. It will also feature a new short story of mine, "Most Likely."

• Some day my next short story collection, thirteen tales for queer young adults, will release. And it will have illustrations, such as the one below:

Releasing in May!

Walt Whitman referred to a "Mad, naked, Summer Night!" In the pages of Boys of Summer, acclaimed editor Steve Berman's latest anthology, talented authors and fresh voices reveal the allure and excitement of the season for gay teens. June always promises romance. July entices with its raw heat, and August offers a languid fire that will burn out before autumn's approach. These are stories of young love and adventure, when the sky's ceiling is a bright blue marvel, when another boy's laughter at the beach can distract from dull summer jobs.

Releasing in July!

An anthology of gay speculative fiction that explores the varied enchantments of the sea and shore. Mermen, pirates, living islands...

With fiction by ‘Nathan Burgoine, Jeff Mann, and Vincent Kovar among others.
