It’s not easy being invulnerable. Back in high school, Josh was secretly the famous superhero KID QUASAR! But he was so busy saving the world that he never had a chance to make any friends.

Because it’s hard to be an A-student when alien arms dealers decide to attack Cleveland in the middle of your sociology final.

And even though he has this one amazing thing that makes him special, there’s no way for him to make a living at it. He’s a misfit who can’t find a place for himself in the world.

Male prostitutes, vampire wannabes, and a cloned movie star . . . 2045 is shaping up to be a rough year for detective Drew Parker. What started off as a simple case involving a deaf woman and her cheating boyfriend is getting complicated. It doesn’t help that the boyfriend is one of five identical actors cloned from the frozen corpse of a dead movie star. Or that he’s up to his neck in a convoluted blackmail plot. Or that the guy is being stalked by a secret agent, some dame in a clown mask with the combat skills of a ninja. And besides, Drew has his own problem to deal with. A personal matter involving a rent boy, a privatized version of the KGB, and a vampire sex cult. Well at least his Wiccan partner, Jen, is back to help him out. He may not believe in all her psychic mumbo-jumbo, but she sure gets results. And there’s no one he’d rather have at his back in a fight. The exciting sequel to The Gumshoe, the Witch, and the Virtual Corpse. "Like its predecessor, it employs the same irresistible zaniness and wit, multiple viewpoints, high sexual content (both gay and straight) and cheerfully chaotic narrative technique. The author has produced another engagingly weird novel of the near future, satirizing everything he can get his word processor on and doing most of it extremely well." -- Publishers Weekly

Coming of age after the end of the world. The Bunker was humanity’s last hope. An underground town, sealed away from the radiation that killed everything on the surface. A lifeboat, with its own water and power and hydroponic farms to see us through the long nuclear winter. But radiation isn’t the only thing that can kill you, and life in the Bunker has its own dangers. There are a half dozen factions that rule this town, and it’s a bad idea to get on the wrong side of any of them. I’m one of the Brats, the kids who were born in this place and have never seen the open sky. But I’ve never fit in with the rest of them. I’m not one of the Cools, or the Geeks, or the Chosen. I’m just the weird boy who sits in the library, reading stories about the world that’s gone. But still, this is my home, too. And now it’s dying. The Bunker is failing. One by one, the lights are going out, and the farms are going dark. Soon there won’t be enough food to go around. And the factions are already starting to turn on each other. Sometimes it takes an outsider to see what’s really going on. Somebody with nothing to lose. So if anyone is gonna save this place, I guess it will have to be me. • Post-apocalyptic new adult dystopian science fiction noir mystery with occasional sex loosely based on Plato’s Allegory of the Cave.

In a near-future America on the verge of civil war, a gay detective investigates ritual killings, conspiracies, and what might be black magic. In the summer of 2045, Atlanta is a city on the verge of panic. A killer is stalking her people, leaving behind eerily beautiful crime scenes painted with occult symbols. Is he an insane artist, carving his work out of flesh and blood? A satanic sorcerer, hoping to bring about the end of days? Or a political operative, trying to terrify the electorate into voting for his party? A handful of people have the pieces to the puzzle, but they are scattered through the city’s subcultures: A wisecracking gay detective hunting for his kidnapped partner. A black cop, trying to use high-tech forensics to solve crimes that seem to be right out of the Middle Ages. A Wiccan journalist who employs search engines and scrying spells with equal skill. A televangelist with an eye on the White House, and the Christian rock star who wants to take him down. A transgender Cherokee shaman trying to right a wrong from the 1800s. And Benji, the fourteen-year-old boy at the center of it all. Who thinks that his biggest problem is what will happen when his strict Baptist parents find out that his new girlfriend is a witch. Together, they might be able to stop what’s coming. If they can stay alive long enough to find each other. - Winner of two Spectrum Awards for LGBT-themed science fiction. - - A double finalist for the Lambda Literary Awards in the Mystery and Speculative Fiction categories - "There's a great SF premise here...the writing is tight, the drama tense." -- Locus "Hartman's character's are smart. His world-building is broad, convincing, and exciting: his choice of detail is exquisite. Compelling and engrossing, this book grabbed me and didn't let me go until long after the end." -- Nina Kiriki Hoffman, winner of the Nebula and Bram Stoker Awards. "Like his hero, loved his plot, and envied his style." --Mike Resnick, five-time winner of the Hugo Award.

When you can talk to ghosts, things are bound to get spirited. The ghosts have been there since before I can remember. When I was a kid, they doted on me, but as I got older, they got more demanding. I've spent my whole life seeing and talking to dead people and trying to pretend I'm not, because the living just don't understand. Nobody wants to be around the freak who claims to see ghosts. Until I go to Mannix Estate. Once a private country home, then a posh hotel, it was closed after a suspicious incident but is now an immersive historic experience. It's also haunted AF, and everyone knows it. Finally, I've found a place to work and live where I can be useful. Where I'm actually wanted. There are only two problems: I spent a hot, sweaty, satisfying night with Ewan the blacksmith before I knew we'd have to work together. Everyone knows sex with colleagues is a bad idea, right? Even if he's the world's most ripped cinnamon roll. Plus, the ghosts are keeping secrets. There's something going on that's not normal, even for a haunted estate. And I suspect that when the truth comes out, I'm the one who'll have to deal with it... and it won't be good.

Annotation Congregations in Conflict examines nine churches that were split by disagreements over gay and lesbian issues, and how the congregations resolved them. Keith Hartman shows some churches coming through their struggles stronger and more unified, while others irrevocably split. Most importantly, he illuminates how people with a passionate clash of beliefs can still function together as a community of faith.
