I've got a relatively recent short story out with Torquere, as part of their annual Charity Sip Blitz. This year's beneficiary is Doctor's Without Borders, which does some truly amazing work. If you're not familiar with them, I urge you to check them out: http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org

The charity blitz is a joint offering by the participating authors and Torquere Books ( http://www.torquerebooks.com ). We donate our royalties on the stories, and Torquere matches our donation. You can buy just one story, or the whole collection of 28(http://www.torquerebooks.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=79_111)

My story, Borders, introduces you to Kevin, a young doctor working in Gaza City, who is taking a long weekend away in Tel Aviv because that's the nearest place where he dares to be anything like open about his orientation. He's only looking for a weekend of fun, but he finds something that may have potential to be more than that, if its genuine...

Right now I'm ecstatic because I just came across a fantastic review: http://www.darkdivasreviews.com/?p=2801 Kathy at Dark Divas was kind enough to give it 5 Delightful Divas. She was kind enough to describe Borders, among other things, "a vibrant, extremely sexy and romantic tale that has already sent me to discover anything else that she may have written"

It also got a great review from Jenre at reviewsbyJessewave.com (http://www.reviewsbyjessewave.com/?p=31148) : 4 stars out of 5. But I'm every bit as happy about this one as the 5 diva review, because of the comments. It's absolutely wonderful to read a review where everything the reviewer said is on target for what I was trying to convey.
