Amazon: Glimpses: A Collection of Nightrunner Short Stories
Amazon Kindle: Glimpses: A Collection of Nightrunner Short Stories

Lynn Flewelling's Glimpses explores "lost" moments from her popular Nightrunner Series, events alluded to or passed over - Alec's parents and childhood, Seregil's early liaisons in Skala, Seregil and Alec's first night as lovers, how Seregil and Micum Cavish met. Each story offers a new perspective on events readers have speculated about for years. For new readers, it offers an introduction to the characters Romantic Times calls "two of the most memorable heroes in fantasy." Professional and amateur art provided by Flewelling's fans accompany Glimpses' stories, as she honors the dedication and devotion her fans have given her over the years. "Glimpses is full of treasures like Lynn Flewelling's deceptively easy and addictive storytelling, her vivid and engaging characters, and the amazing and heartfelt illustrations. This book is a must have for fans of Lynn's Nightrunner books, and if you haven't started the series yet, then Glimpses will leave you eager to discover more about Seregil and Alec, their adventures and the unique and fantastical world that the pair inhabit." -Suzanne McLeod, Spellcrackers.com series "It's hard to imagine a lovelier gift to fans than this exquisite collection of gorgeously illustrated short stories. Flewelling indulges her loyal readers with these graceful glimpses 'between the lines' of the long-running and immensely popular Nightrunner series." -Josh Lanyon, Adrien English Mysteries and the Holmes & Moriarity Mysteries "An unmissable short story collection from Flewelling. Set in the Nightrunner universe Glimpses captures Flewelling's characters at formative moments in their various timelines. Some of the stories fill in details that I've been waiting on for years..." -T.A. Moore, The Even Series "Glimpses is a terrific collection, lovingly illustrated, a gift to all of us who love the Nightrunners. This rocks." -Patricia Briggs, Mercy Thompson Series

2ND ANNUAL LGBT MYSTERY PANEL with Anthony Bidulka, Ellen Hart, Greg Herren
Free and Open to the Public

Gay mystery writers Bidulka and Herren return to A Different Light and bring Ellen Hart along this time. The three authors read and sign from their 2010 books and discuss the mystery genre's relevance to the LGBT community.

Anthony Bidulka (Date with a Sheesha)
Paperback: 262 pages
Publisher: Insomniac Press (May 27, 2010)
Language: English

Amazon: Date with a Sheesha: A Russell Quant Mystery

Anthony Bidulka’s mystery series tells the story of a world-traveling, wine-swilling, wise-cracking, gay, Canadian private detective living a big life in a small city. The Russell Quant series was awarded the Lambda Literary Award for Best Men’s Mystery and was recently shortlisted for Crime Writers of Canada Book of the Year.

From the glitzy, flamboyant, mega-high rises of Dubai, to the frankincense fields of Oman and scorching sand dunes of Saudi Arabia, PI Russell Quant is on one heckuva magical carpet ride. In Date with a Sheesha, Quant embarks upon a perilous journey that pits him against a deceitful Bedouin sheikh, shifty souk merchants, a snooty museum curator, quirky antique carpet enthusiasts and an underground club for “fabulous men.”

Ellen Hart (Wicked Games)
Paperback: 288 pages
Publisher: Bella Books; Reprint edition (August 17, 2010)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1594931852
ISBN-13: 978-1594931857
Amazon: Wicked Games (A Jane Lawless Mystery)

“Ellen Hart is The Lambda Literary Award and Minnesota Book Award-wining author of 16 Jane Lawless mysteries and knows how to spin a tale full of complex plot lines, fast-paced actio, and characters skilled in deception. Fans of the Lawless series and readers who enjoy gay/lesbian mysteries will not be disappointed in Wicked Games.

When Annie Archer turns up at Minneapolis's Xanadu Club, its owner, lesbian restauranteur and amateur sleuth Jane Lawless, offers her a job and takes on the task of finding Annie's long-missing father.” (Library Journal, Starred Review)

Greg Herren (Vieux Carre Voodoo)
Paperback: 264 pages
Publisher: Bold Strokes Books (May 18, 2010)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1602821526
ISBN-13: 978-1602821521
Amazon: Vieux Carre Voodoo (Scotty Bradley Series)

Greg Herren is the author of twelve novels, including the award winning Murder in the Rue Chartres, called by the New Orleans Times-Piacyune “the most honest piece of writing about post-Katrina New Orleans.”

In Vieux Carre Voodoo, former go-go boy turned detective Scotty Bradley is back! When an old family friend apparently commits suicide from his French Quarter balcony, Scotty’s life accelerates from boring to exciting again in a nanosecond. Why would anyone want the old man dead, and what were they looking for in his ransacked apartment? It’s up to Scotty, Frank, his crazy family, and friends to get to the bottom of this bizarre mystery—and when an old, all-too-familiar face turns up, it’s not just Scotty’s life that’s in danger, but his heart.
