Perfect Gay Marriage
Robert Tait
A story of many parts,
delivered monthly. Those who've read Robert Tait's previous
novels will be familiar with his style, a unique blend of erotic and
social satire within a fast-paced adventure.
Join private detective Matt in his Australia-wide
search for the true
identity of a twink destined to be the younger, cuter groom at
Australia's first legal A-list gay wedding. Perfect Gay Marriage
exposes not only glittering Sydney's grubby underbelly, but also its
sleazy backbottom.

Ken Always Does As He's Told
Text and Dollpix by Gary Dunne
When Gary Dunne whinged he
couldn’t
find male models without attitude
issues to pose for a pdf cover, a friend’s daughter said, “Borrow my
Kens. They always do as they’re told.” He did. And they did.
One thing led to another, and then to an exhibition at Sydney’s Tap
Gallery.

Quote: '... Few of the writers whose work is collected have
had American publication, and the stories - literary and erotic alike -
open an entertaining window on queer Aussie culture and characters.'
