Luc's Stories and Poetry

Mark Arbour writes historical fiction about gay and bisexual characters painted on the canvas of the past.

My mind has always preferred to be elsewhere than the here and now and as a child it was the past, or fiction set in worlds that have never existed, that set me alight and dragged me into libraries and bookshops. Even as a kid I liked creating alternative worlds. My story Terre Nouvelle is set in a world I created in my teenage bedroom to find escape from the grimness of adolescent reality. But creating stories is not the same as generating places in which they might happen, and the creative energy they're drawn from come from deep within. It's from my gayness that I draw it, and so my characters generally live in that alternative place as well as in alternative worlds.

rec's stories explore slow-building, long-term relationships and the acceptance of two people for one another. "Jake's Hand" and "Jake's Side," companion novellas tell the story of two college men, who have volunteered to tutor black kids in the South for the 1969 summer, grow more and more attracted to one another.

Ronyx is the creator and author of the gay teen story site, The Mustard Jar. His goal when he started a decade ago was to write stories that covered the real issues gay teens face. Ronyx hopes his stories speak to those needing advice or help dealing with a problem.

Zot writes stories of romance, adventure, and angst. The Sword 'n Sorcery adventures of Ben and William (heroes for hire), modern romance shorts (some with happy endings), and the occasional YA novel (though probably too occasionally).

Exploring the harsh realities of life: full of unfortunate circumstance, tragic accidents, physical violations, messy and abusive relationships, hitting rock bottom, feeling hopeless with each new obstacle, persevering against the odds - but ultimately, love stories that give hope: no matter what happens, anyone can find their way to happiness.

Christopher writes High Octane Political thrillers. He is also the author of a popular Science Fiction series called the Falcon Banner. The stories are laced with genuine romance, political plots, and high energy action. Just because we're gay doesn't mean we can't kick ass too!
