Turning Point  by Lara Zielinsky

(Clayton, NC: P.D. Publishing, 2007; ISBN-13 978-1-933720-19-7)
lesbian romance, Hollywood romance

"A sweetly written and thoroughly enjoyable story about a wonderful, unexpected love between two powerful, intelligent women," says one review.  "I've read a few 'straight woman falls for straight woman' novels and have found most of them to be contrived and utterly unbelievable. But in this book, the attraction develops at a slower pace and seems genuine," says another.  See for yourself—get to know Brenna and Cassidy now, so you'll be ready for the sequel!

Breathe  by Blair R. Poole

(Princeton, NJ: Brand/Burrow Publishing, 2005; ISBN-13 978-0-977181-20-9)
gay coming out stories, black teens, prejudice

One reviewer pretty much says it all: "I couldn't put it down. Beginning with page one to the final page. The topics and issues highlighted in the book are commonplace in our society today—that is why many young men choose to hide who they really are—and in a sense suffocate by trying to be someone other than their true selves. They are not allowed to breathe because of prejudices and ignorance."

Mahu Surfer: A Hawaiian Mystery  by Neil Plakcy

(New York: Alyson Publications, 2007; ISBN-13 978-1-593500-07-8)
gay mystery, mystery series

From the book's promotional material: "Mahu is a generally negative Hawaiian term for homosexual, and for police detective Kimo Kanapa'aka, being gay doesn't make for an easy life. Especially when you're publicly outed. Now . . . Kimo must go undercover and stop a brutal killer. Already, three surfers have been shot dead, and Kimo must infiltrate the close-knit surfing community, knowing his only way back to active duty is to catch a killer he may know all too well."

A full review of Plakcy's first book, Mahu, is available here:  www.afterelton.com/archive/elton/print/2005/11/mahu.html
