A Family Affair and Other Erotic Gay Tales
by Hank Brooks
Price: $17.95
Paperback: 184 pages
ISBN: 978-1-935509-63-9
The stories in this collection are varied and eclectic. There is something for
everyone. Although they run the gamut of genres from A to Z, they have one
underlying theme. They examine the gay experience. Within each story, no matter
how different they may be, there runs through it the experience of gay love.
There is Science Fiction (Alpha One and Down to Earth). There is fantasy (The
Author, The Artist and the Portrait). There is Horror (The End of the World).
There are stories of straight men allowing their gay sides to emerge (Trapped,
Things Happen, The Bingo Game, Gay for Pay). Love between family members (A
Family Affair). Humor (The Evangelist, The Best of Times). Not the least of
these stories concern gay men who find true love (My Father's Friend, My Life as
I Live It). Being the hopeless romantic that the author is, these latter two
stories were very necessary for inclusion in this anthology.

Fathers and Sons
by Hank Brooks
Price: $17.95
Paperback: 172 pages
ISBN: 978-1-935509-23-3
This novel was inspired by love, all kinds of love. Of course, first and
foremost is sensual love, the love that two lovers share and which they express
physically. Then there is the love between fathers and sons, which is not
usually expressed physically, but when it is, it can be a spiritual and
beautiful experience. Finally, there is the love between friends, who form
a band of brothers.
The story is about all these kind of loves, and about the bonding of fathers, sons
and lovers. It examines the love shared beyond blood lines and the forging
of a strong and loving gay family.

An Anthology of Erotica - Gay Love Stories
by Hank Brooks
Price: $17.95
Paperback: 179 pages
ISBN: 978-1-935509-24-0
These stories were written by a hopeless
romantic. I believe everyone should
be in love; young, old, and in between; men and women. Consequently, every story has a
Hollywood ending and all my live happily ever after.
Almost every love story in the book was influenced by a true incident I had heard
about. Of course, I took poetic
license. I had to imagine the
consequences of some of what I heard, and where the incident was true I tried to
make sure that the characters could not be identified. I fell in love with all these lovers,
and I hope you will enjoy reading their stories as much as I enjoyed writing
them.
