The Sex Chronicles: Shattering the Myth


Zane - 2000
    Sometimes romantic, sometimes raw, Zane appeals to men and women alike with these tales of intoxicating sensuality. THE Sex CHRONICLES SHATTERING THE MYTH Anyone who thinks that men are by nature more sexual than women or that African-American women are especially inhibited hasn't read Zane. Here, she presents an erotic read in three parts: Wild, Wilder, and Off Da Damn Hook. With a unique ability to tell it like it is -- and also to tell it like it could be in your wildest dreams -- Zane crafts stories about everyone from the sensual housewife who wants her husband to experiment more to a secret underground sorority of women that organizes some rather unconventional social events. By turns tender and outrageous, The Sex Chronicles is a pleasure from beginning to end.

Between Dances


Erasmo Guerra - 2000
    With the same grim beauty as John Rechy’s “City of Night” and Jean Genet’s “The Thief’s Journal,” this novel traces the arabesques of acrid smoke and loneliness wound around the dim world of hustlers and johns, of porn theaters and crumbling hotel rooms. "Between Dances," an early work by Erasmo Guerra, received a Lambda Literary Award in 2000 and was reissued in a second edition. Praise for "Between Dances" “I was drawn to this book with its plot about a young Latino ‘thang’ trying to survive in New York by dancing in sleazy strip joints. What a kick to read about New York City from the point of view of a gay Tejano. The protagonist, Marco, is a Tex-Mex Holly Golightly—part hustler, part hopeless romantic.” —Sandra Cisneros, author of “The House on Mango Street” “Between Dances is a novel about looking for light in the shadows and holding onto hope in the face of despair.” —The Bloomsbury Review “[Guerra’s] writing is beautifully rendered . . . Between Dances is an impressive debut. It is safe to assume that we can expect further greatness from Erasmo Guerra.” –Lambda Book Report “. . . distinguished by a writing style that is as lavish and beautiful as the world it describes is bleak and harsh.” —Southern Voice

Model Release
