Just a Boy
by R.W. Clinger
  Parrotfish
by Ellen Wittinger
  Saints of Augustine
by P.E. Ryan
In this sweet novel, well-liked high school athlete Jove is too scared to do much about being gay (besides dreaming of Matt Damon) until another student is outed. Angie never felt like a girl. From not liking dresses to not feeling right when told to lineup by gender for gym class, her whole life leads up to one little change that makes a big difference. Angie becomes Grady, she is now he, and he becomes comfortable with himself for the first time. Not all goes smoothly with Grady's friends & family, who have a hard time even saying his new name, but he finds allies, including one of the school geeks, who explains to him that parrotfish change gender all the time, according to what's needed. I instantly got immersed in the life problems of Charlie and Sam and wanted so badly to help them escape. Charlie's story was tragic, yet completely real, as if Ryan took the idea from a normal teenager's life. I feel exactly the same about Sam. I know a boy who is going through a situation similar to his, and I immediately thought about him as I read the 1st chapter. Anyone, boy or girl, will enjoy and relate to this book. – Yeoshinga 17 yo

The Teahouse Fire
by Ellis Avery

Winner of Lambda Award for Debut Lesbian Fiction 2007 – Beneath the beautiful surface of Avery’s artfully controlled prose, akin to the tea ceremonies it describes, unrequited love, betrayal and regret give the reader a sense of deep feeling and personal urgency. Renamed Urako, the narrator finds herself also changed, caught up in a way of life that she had not imagined could be her own, but also caught between personal desires and what society permits. The novel’s essential question is that of desire: By what ceremonies, through what pains and past what obstacles must we endure in order to have not just any life but the one we most want to claim as our own? – Buffalo Artvoice

Broadway Babylon
by Boze Hadleigh
  Let the Right One In
by John Ajvide Lindqvist
  In Search of the Missing Eyelash
by Karen Mcleod
  Lying Tongue
by Andrew Wilson
Here's the book that airs Broadway's dirty laundry! Inspired by the classic Hollywood Babylon (in print for more than forty years, more than 100,000 copies sold), Broadway Babylon presents a hyper-entertaining look at the Great White Way's biggest scandals, best-kept secrets, and most over-the-top feuds. Author Boze Hadleigh, the preeminent disher of celebrity dish, serves up 400 pages of tasty, never-before-told stories about such show-biz icons as Merman, Williams, Lucille Ball, Davis, and others.   Already a bestseller in the author's natice sweden,this debut novel is both vampire legend and social commentary, with a gay love story at its pumping heart. Shrouded in very graphic violence, this isn't for the faint-hearted. Alluring, fascinating and undeniably weird. Gay Times   Lizzie is a waitress in a jolly local cafe, and is still in love with her ex, Sally. Lizzie's cross-dressing brother has gone missing and she is spiralling downhill: she drinks way too much, breaks into Sally's house, follows her to Brighton and even decides that Sally made her pregnant. A funny and surprising book full of freesh observations about love, loneliness and the state of the nation – marking the debut of a refreshingly different new voice.  

Wilson is the author of a highly renowned biography of Patricia Highsmith and this is his début novel. Adam Woods finds himself as companion for a reclusive elderly novelist Gordon Crace. Woods becomes increasingly obsessed with his employer's past and when he discovers the beginnings of a biography he cannot stop himself from pursuing the truth behind it.

Nothing, is as it first seems and it is hard to know who is the good guy and who is the baddie, only a feeling of claustrophobia, corruption, seduction, and ruthlessness.
