gay- and lesbian-ebooks
This is a list of all the authors published so far by gay-ebooks and lesbian-ebooks.
BlackWattle Press
There are two lists in the BlackWattle archives: all BlackWattle publications (name, date, ISBN, item titles etc) and detailed lists of all authors. Separately are the covers of all cargo magazines, along with authors and item titles.
Downloadable BlackWattle pdfs from our library: The chapbooks, TV Tricks and As If Overnight, have been scanned and rebuilt (respectively) in full. Sample chapters of Trashtown, and Shadows on the Dance Floor are also available. Our thanks to the authors concerned for allowing this to happen.

About our downloadable files:
All download files on this site are in the portable document file (pdf) format, so you will need a pdf program to read them. There are free readers available on most computer platforms and most computers will come with one installed; but if you need to install a reader we suggest you start with the originator Adobe's Acrobat. All our files will carry encryption and may have restrictions for use; for example some files may be for screen viewing only. Normally, editing the file or extraction of text or pictures is not possible.

| Who we are: |
|
Yes, we're back. Last century we were BlackWattle Press. Now we're saving trees by constructing digital books, bits in the ether, zeros and ones on a wire, spinning silver discs and all that.
This is how it works. We'll get you cheaper and faster access to oz gay lit by producing pdf files that you can easily view on-screen. We save costs such as printing, distribution and retailer markups, and you pay - nothing, it's FREE! You still could, if you wanted, print them out to store them in the real world, but why bother with all that ink, paper and Ikea shelving. The real plus with this project is that the ideas, the stories, and the magic (all the best bits) can be in your hands almost immediately. Enjoy!
