*****
A Brush of Wings
Edited by Anne Regan
Guardian spirits walk among us. They are heavenly beings who grant courage, unknown benefactors who offer help, best friends who lend their strength, and celestial beings who embody inspiration. You might not recognize the everyday angels or an messengers of mercy, but their sacrifices benefit us all. In this anthology, we are looking for stories of men who are touched by purity and light and sometimes blessed by love.
Submission Deadline: Jan. 11, 2010
Publication Date: March 22, 2010

Necking
Edited by Julianne Bentley
Just close your eyes and feel: soft, warm lips skimming from your shoulder to your ear, your skin prickling and tickling. Then add another set, echoing the first, layer upon layer of sensation as two sets of hands join the game, stroking, sliding, ratcheting up the heat. And when your lips part and the tip of your tongue darts out, it's met by two more in a luscious, messy, three-way kiss. This is necking, pure and hot, sending shivers of arousal down your spine. In these stories, the men come in threes: triple the pleasure, triple the love.
Submission Deadline: March 1, 2010
Publication Date: May 10, 2010

A Midsummer's Nightmare
2010 Daily Dose
Edited by Lynn West
Lay down and close your eyes to dream this night.
A wolf is howling at the full gold moon;
the blood in your veins will begin to pound.
A nightmare will o'ertake you very soon--
vampires, werewolves, the ghosts that haunt the eaves
rise up to rent what joy they hunt and find.
But with the pulse, wild passion is aroused.
These handsome men will tease and flaunt and grind
against the things that go bump in the night.
At dawn the sun will rise and evil flees;
it leaves the well-known truth bare to the light:
night is shortest, hottest, in the summer,
and love will banish night's dark fantasy.

Myths and Magic: Legends of Love
Edited by Anne Regan
Lose yourself in tales of yore, in myths, fairy tales, and legends shrouded in the mists of time. These are stories of beasts and men from ancient tomes, of gods, sorcerers, and ancient heroes, of fairies and elves, centaurs and satyrs, dragons and unicorns, almost anything you might dream. Let your imagination take the reins and experience the power of the timeless past as men in many different forms undertake the highest of quests: the search for a love of the ages.
Submission Deadline: July 2, 2010
Publications Date: Sept. 10, 2010
