Marlowe's Ghost
Former Marine Will Marlowe dreams of being a great classics scholar, but his subversive street art, Bad Toys, is what he does best. When he’s sent to London to retrieve Tommy Jones, what he’s really interested in is a chance to take Bad Toys global. He doesn’t expect cancer survivor Tommy to captivate him or to become the pet project of a real live—dead—author. Meanwhile, Tommy is struggling to write a dissertation about Christopher Marlowe while conveniently ignoring the fact that he knows Marlowe didn’t die in 1593. And Marlowe’s ghost? He has an agenda all his own that seems to involve two parts mystery, one part romance.
Marathon Cowboys
Jesse Clayton loves painting, his cowboy grandfather, and his life as an artist with a wild abandon that leaves scorch marks on everything he touches. Budding Navajo cartoonist Lorenzo Maryboy is a hard-working former Marine staunch, brave, and honorable. Chance brings them together on the road to Marathon, Texas, and passion flares. Just as always, Jesse puts his art ahead of everything. He betrays their growing trust, and that Lorenzo can't forgive. But Jesse's found something he loves more than his art, and what he does to win Lorenzo's forgiveness is far more dangerous than either man understands.

When photographer Leon Davis takes a job tracking down the nearly-extinct Zanzibar leopard, he isn’t expecting to fall in love with the mysterious and sexy Tuareg tribal leader, Ibrahim Ag Akhamok.

Anagama Fires
Lucien Durand and Colin Ferguson have lived and loved as partners in life and art for more than twenty years. But happily ever after is never easy. Over time, Lucien begins to resent how Colin's work overshadows his own art, and their relationship falls apart. Colin leaves with nothing but a backpack, and Lucien goes on alone, getting some counseling, developing a practice in raku pottery, and waiting for what would happen next.

Length: Novella

Review: Oct 29, 2010
Anagama Fires was, for me, a wonderful read and just the right length.
I liked "seeing" how Lucien's and Colin's personalities balance each other out and how those personalities translated into their pottery - and how their views are (and are not) projected in Adam and James, the next generation of potters.
What I think made the story for me is how Lucien, for being so even tempered, sees how the
Tootsies
Genre: LGBT Multicultural
Length: Novella
When David Miller publishes his excellent first book of poetry, his jealous-minded colleagues set him up to take a fall. Rather than be semi-fired in a quasi sex-scandal, he decides to live in his grandpa’s old log cabin, deep in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. Maybe he's hoping to run into Quanah Parker Running Bear, his best friend from childhood.
But Quanah Parker is so much bigger than he remembered. Bigger and sexier and bossier, and he seems to have this strange foot thing going on. Sucking toes, rose foot cream, rubbing dicks across the tender arches of his foot -- it's weird but kind of wonderful, too. Is David in over his head?
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Male/male sexual practices.

How can anyone resist reading a book called Tootsies? I admit the name intrigued me and tickled me enough to give this book a shot. I’m glad I did. This is the first book I’ve read that is written by Sarah Black and it won’t be my last.
It’s funny how just a few hours can change your life forever. David Miller works as an English professor by day, but he&rs
