121. M. Kei - Pirates of the Narrow Seas 1: The Salle Rovers (Lulu Press / Bristlecone Pine Press)
Gay, Historical
Book One in the Pirates of the Narrow Seas Trilogy: The Sallee Rovers. Lieutenant Peter Thorton is in love with fellow lieutenant Perry. Both men are given commissions to serve aboard HMS Ajax, taking an Islamic envoy to talks in France. Thorton makes an enemy of the Captain, who is largely incompetent but does not like people who show they know it. During a storm, the Ajax comes to the rescue of a sinking Spanish galley. The Spanish abandon their vessel, leaving their slaves, chained to the oars, to sink with the ship. Thorton and several of the other British sailors attempt to free the slaves and stop the galley from sinking. As they do so, the storm blows the two ships apart, leaving him surrounded by freed slaves who have no desire to voluntarily sail back to the Ajax to be reunited with their captors. Command of the galley is taken by Isam bin Hamet al-Tangueli (Captain Tangle to his crew) a famous pirate of the Barbary coast, who had been serving as a galley slave following capture by the Spanish. The story then follows Thorton's slow naturalization into the ways of the Sallee Rovers, and his growing understanding that he's better off in a culture that allows him to love other men without censure. Rejected by Perry and wooed by Tangle, Thorton has to decide where his loyalty really lies. Winner of a Sweet Revolution Award for "Best Full Cast" and "Judge's Pick"

Arrested for desertion and sodomy, Thorton is obliged to surrender his arms and give his parole and serve as a lieutenant aboard the Ajax under the dour and proper Captain Ebenezer Horner. His former friend, Lieutenant Roger Perry, becomes his worst enemy. He is harassed and taunted, in spite of his victories at sea. Thorton's Sallee friends do not abandon him. Captain Tangle comes to his rescue, but the redoubtable corsair meets his match in the steely Captain Horner. Determined to do his duty and turn Thorton over for trial before the notorious homophobe, Admiral Walters, Horner must keep the impetuous Turk at bay even when being menaced by the Spanish who are bent on revenge against them all.

If keeping the damaged Ajax afloat was not trouble enough, Thorton must rescue Horner from the bottom of a bottle of brandy and save the Resolute from mutiny. Meanwhile the Ottoman Empire has gone to war against Spain, only to be defeated and driven away from Sebta in ruin. The Sallee vessels are trounced by a Spanish fleet and it is Thorton's sad duty to stitch the shroud of his good friend and former lover, Captain Tangle, to bury him at sea. Arriving at last in England, Thorton and his fellow officers are deprived of their commissions and arrested.

130. Susan Goldberg & Chloe Brushwood Rose - And Baby Makes More (Insomniac Press)
LGBT, Non Fiction
What happens when would-be dyke moms or gay dads ask a friend or acquaintance to donate sperm or an egg, or to act as a surrogate? What's the difference between being a donor and being a parent? What happens to non-biological parents when a known donor is also part of the picture? When and how does biology count — or does it? Why do parents choose known donors, and what happens if things get ugly? And what does all this mean for queer families already facing extraordinary social pressures? A quirky, funny, and occasionally heartbreaking collection of personal essays, this book offers an intimate look at the relative risks and unexpected rewards of queer, do-it-yourself baby-making, and the ways in which families are re-made in the process. The contributors — donors, biological and non-bio parents, and their children — offer provocative, nuanced insights into what it means to be or to use a known donor, and how queer families are being re-conceived to include new roles, new rules, and kinship ties that transcend biology.

As for the previous book in this series, I liked that the paranormal side of the story was not so overwhelming, in a way this was a very ordinary romance about extraordinary events.

This series is intended for people loving the old country lifestyle with a modern touch. In the first book, Love Means… No Shame, Geoff was a young man who was raised by his two fathers and who happened to be gay as well. Of course reading that book people could wonder how it was possible, if in today society it can happen to have same sex couple, 20 years before it was not so common, above all not in the little small town where Geoff was living.
