Greetings—
I'm taking time out from my novel-writing challenge to let you know about several things:
(1) Interview — Internet broadcast:
Here is the link to the show that was broadcast June 19, 2 p.m. Pacific time. It is now archived for anyone to listen to:
HealthyLife.net, host Ann Sanders interviews Bill Brent
— Ann Sanders, the host of "Sextra" (a weekly series), interviews me as the author of The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Men (Cleis Press, 2002). We discuss anal sex for men (straight, gay, bi) and their partners.
Ann was great fun to talk with. The sound quality could have been better, but I think it is enjoyable nonetheless.
The link to the interview remains up for at least two months, I am told, so the show will be available for listening through at least mid-August 2007.
Please note that I get a 10% commission on any of my books ordered through the Amazon links in this newsletter, so please help support my cause! – By the way, I'm very pleased that the popular website for A Different Light Bookstore just made my book a permanent feature of their Health and Body section. Thanks to the ADL staff, and especially to all their customers who have helped to keep my book on top!
For starters , here's the link to The Ultimate Guide for Anal Sex for Men:

(2) I have a new book out! Get all excited!
Actually, it's a wicked and wise sex-and-drugs memoir that is part of a seven-author collection titled ENTANGLED LIVES: Memoirs by 7 Top Erotica Writers. You can check out the promotional website for the book at Entangled-Lives.com.
My memoir is titled "This Insane Allure," and I'm quite pleased to have been selected by editor Marilyn Jaye Lewis to be part of her stellar lineup of writing talent – again, you can check out the Entangled Lives website for details!
I am especially proud of this project since it includes my most ambitious purely literary work published to date. Part 1 of my story originally appeared in a somewhat different form under the title "Wounded," in the anthology Roughed Up: more tales of gay men, sex, and power (M. Christian and Simon Sheppard, eds.; Alyson Books, 2003) and then in the annual Best Gay Erotica 2004 (Richard Labonte, ed.; Cleis Press, 2004). This is the first publication of parts 2 and 3.
Entangled Lives is now available through Amazon, here:
Entangled Lives: Memoirs of 7 Top Erotica Writers
(3) My short story, "September Shower," has been reprinted.
It originally appeared in Best Bisexual Erotica, volume 2 (which I co-edited with Dr. Carol Queen in 2002). Now my story is part of a new anthology titled Bi Guys (Ron Suresha, ed.; Southern Tier Editions / Haworth Press, 2006).
This is a fun, sex-drenched romp (I would call it erotic burlesque) involving a three-way scene between a woman and two men, set in a giant shower stall at a sex party. The location bears a suspicious resemblance to the party house I managed in San Francisco from 1994 to 2000, heh heh. (Actually, the house is sort of a character too, since I describe an idealized version of the place in elaborate detail. So my story is somewhat of an homage, too.)
Want to support my cause even more directly? Then do your summer book-shopping with Bill Brent! Browse my bookstore on Amazon Marketplace and buy something for yourself or as a gift! Note that I ship every book via Priority Mail at no extra charge.
