Hot Rod cancelled by publisher

Starbooks Press has decided to cancel Hot Rod because they have decided to only publish anthologies edited by their staff. Sorry to my authors who submitted to this anthology.

You can still buy Nerdvana edited by me from them.

Hugs,
Fred

Rev your engines, gentlemen!

Sex and cars are meant for each other. The sexy mechanic comes to mind first, but think beyond that. Take me from the invention of the automobile into the future of it. How does it bring men together? Think drivers, engineers, assemblers, parts specialist, restorers, race car drivers, etc. Another favorite fantasy is a sexy cop pulling overf a speeding driver. What's his punishment/reward? Think muscles, men, and cars. Classics are hot too. Futuristic and concept autos are waiting for hot men in the future. Two male hippies practice make love not war in the back of a 60s love van, sexy models sprawled across cars at a car show, two horny guys at a drive-in or at a make out spot. Ever wonder what two horny country boys do in the bed of their pick up truck? What sexual favors does the race car winner receive?

To learn more about Fred Towers, check his blog. Email him at the address in the left hand column with "Hot Rod submission" in the subject line.

I look forward to your smutty car-related smut.

Brief Encounters

My story, Lusty Librarian was just released in Brief Encounters edited by Shane Allison from Cleis Press. I glanced at the table of contents and saw a lot of great writers, such as Rob Rosen, M.Christian, Simon Shepherd, and many more.

Ultimate Gay Erotica 2009

I am so excited. I just received my contributor copies for Ultimate Gay Erotica 2009 today. My story, Revenge Visits Vegas is published by Alyson in Ultimate Gay Erotica 2009 edited by Jesse Grant.

It includes some great writers. My writing friend, Gavin Atlas is also in this collection. Some authors I've met via the internet are also included, such as Shane Allison, Neil Plakcy, R. Kramer Bussel, and Rob Rosen.

I've published in two of the Ultimate Gay Erotica anthologies. The other one is UGE 2008.

I found it at my local GLBT bookstore, Out Word Bound, so check with your local queer bookstore before buying online. I prefer supporting my local bookstore because I remember how lost I was during the lapse when Dreams and Swords closed and Out Word Bound opened.

Let me know what you think of my story. :-D

Smuttily yours,
Fred
