Brute leads a lonely life in a world where magic is commonplace. He is seven and a half feet of ugly, and of disreputable descent. No one, including Brute, expects him to be more than a laborer. But heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and when he is maimed while rescuing a prince, Brute's life changes abruptly. He is summoned to serve at the palace in Tellomer as a guard for a single prisoner. It sounds easy but turns out to be the challenge of his life. Rumors say the prisoner, Gray Leynham, is a witch and a traitor. What is certain is that he has spent years in misery: blind, chained, and rendered nearly mute by an extreme stutter. And he dreams of people's deaths - dreams that come true. As Brute becomes accustomed to palace life and gets to know Gray, he discovers his own worth, first as a friend and a man and then as a lover. But Brute also learns heroes sometimes face difficult choices and that doing what is right can bring danger of its own.

Steve Berman loses his job just before a visit to his parents in Florida. En route, though, he’s offered a new one, with a developer building a shopping center at the edge of the Everglades. Comic complications ensue with the craziness of his cousins, the Blatnicks, and the equally zany construction crew. This is a laugh-out-loud comic novel about Jewish family relationships and shopping mall construction. Ebook Addict reviews writes: " I started the book and got caught up in Steve Berman’s life, I found that putting the book down left me itching to get back to it… NOW! And funny? Oh dear heavens yes… in fact there were so many times that I was not only laughing out loud, but long and loud, that I was starting to get concerned looks thrown my way. Even now thinking of some of the antics that the various members of the Blatnick family—related by marriage kind of relatives—would get up to has me chuckling." "Once again Neil Plakcy has shown that his storytelling abilities are very wide-ranging. His books cover anything from mysteries that never end the way you—okay I—think they will, to sexier-than-hell man-lovin’ romantic adventures. Then there are the sharp turns to his character-driven tales, long or short, that will entrance and, like his other stories, vastly entertain. I’ve not read one story, one book, one novella by this author that hasn’t been at the very least, enjoyable. I highly recommend anything by Neil but Invasion of the Blatnicks is a terrific book with which to start an acquaintanceship with Plakcy’s writing."

Two words describe the appeal of skateboarders: barely legal. Skateboarding is not allowed on most public property, so it takes a tough and independent young man to find the best places to shred. No wonder skaters have become the object of fantasies by gay men: brimming with attitude and sexual confidence, skaters are athletic and quick to shed their shirt. The characters of Skater Boys all have one additional thing in common — a love of gay sex. Teen shredders get it on with each other in "Slash-n-Burn," "Carter DuBose," and "Totally Choice." Older men get their share of boarder bootie in stories that include "In This Our Day," "Sex in the Streets," and "Shuv-It." "Something to Remember You By" and "Boyz in the 'Hood" pack an emotional punch, while "Kick, Push" and "It's Not About Love" are just great fun. Take a ride with the uninhibited, wild young men of Skater Boys.
