Maybe he could have handled seeing the world in color if his Soulmate hadn't turned out to be a troubled artist. Winston Jinx is everything Ivan prides himself on hating. He's a painter (so, without a real job), an activist (so, entitled), and he's a giant smartass. Ivan knows things aren't going to work, especially given Winston's passion for the local orca pods that Galaxsea Theme Parks (Ivan's company) stole its star attraction from.Winston is equally miffed when he meets Ivan. After all, Winston is way too busy planning to jailbreak Seymour the orca to deal with some bigot who sneers at the word "orange." And yet, said bigot keeps finding excuses to show up at Winston's apartment with questions about the wild orcas, why Winston isn't bothered by seeing in color, and what mysterious project is keeping Winston's fridge stocked with salmon.If Ivan is already slightly disturbed by his own infatuation, he's mortified by it when he finds out about Winston's plans to free Seymour. Not because he's worried about the theme park--Galaxsea's corporate culture is nightmarish--but because his coworker and ex, Mike Swan, would love an excuse to rid Seattle of one more activist, and he has already demonstrated his personal disdain for Winston.Saving Seymour is an adult coming-of-age story about the trials that come with choosing happiness, discovering one's sexuality, and love's power for change.

Blue: When my ex walks into the resort bar with his new husband on his arm, I want nothing more than to prove to him that I've moved on.

The only problem? Turns out the stranger's brother is marrying my sister later this week.Tristan: I have one rule: no messing with the guests at my vineyard resort. Of course the one exception I make turns out to be my future brother-in-law. Now we're stuck together for a week of wedding activities, and there's no avoiding the heat burning between us. So fine, we make a deal: one week. One week to enjoy each other's bodies and get it out of our system. Once the bride and groom say I do and we become family, it'll all be over between us. Right?
Right as Raine
Tiller: As the first openly gay professional football player, I can't afford to make any mistakes, on or off the field.

That's completely out of bounds.Mikey: I've learned my lesson about falling for one of my dad's players. They're a bunch of spoiled jocks with more muscles than brains. I've spent years learning to keep my eyes, and my hands, to myself. But resisting the temptation becomes nearly impossible when Tiller Raine and I end up together in a small cabin in a remote Colorado town. Suddenly, there's not much to do but look at each other. And talk. And hopefully, hopefully touch.But what happens when our stay in Aster Valley is over and it's time to return to the real world? Will Coach blow the whistle on our relationship? Or will Tiller admit there might actually be something he loves more than football after all?

How to Whistle
Gay men communicate in many ways, sometimes a glance, sometimes a smile, and sometimes a whistle. In How to Whistle, Gregg Shapiro brings us men of all types sometimes seeking to be with each other and sometimes looking for themselves. They dance, they indulge, they camp, and they enjoy life. Shapiro employs his deft poetic voice to bring you men that will stay with you, men you'll find yourself thinking about for a long time.Praise for How to Whistle: Expanded Edition"The stories in Gregg Shapiro's How to Whistle are so perfectly pitched in tone and execution, so novelistic in their differing densities and delightful variety, that they form a sure portrait of a time and place in gay life that is both specific and universal." - Felice Picano, author of Songs & Poems"You don't have to be queer, or from Chicagoland, to fall hard for Gregg Shapiro's marvelous second collection, How to Whistle. These stories - tart, tender, sexed-up, and terribly wise on the subjects of love and memory - are a lesson for everyone" - James Magruder, author of Love Slaves of Helen Hadley Hall"Gregg Shapiro's stories hum with sex, longing, and electric detail. How to Whistle journeys from the bathhouse to smoky concert venues, and through the confused mind of a culture-hungry teenage brain. This collection goes so many places, yet stays anchored, always, in the heart." - Brendan Walsh, author of Go and fort lauderdale"Shapiro's How to Whistle brings to vibrant life young gay men's casual/intimate/kinky explorations of Boston, D.C., and Chicago in the 1980's. Deadpan humor alternates with delicious dish and quiet introspection in this witty collection of stories about sex, relationship, (in)fidelity, vengeance, and the meaning of friendship in a sometimes dangerous world. An entertaining, deeply insightful, and warmly nostalgic portrait of the way we were." - Daniel M. Jaffe, author of Foreign Affairs: Male Tales of Lust & Love"Shapiro's Shapiro's stories capture the breadth and variety of human relationships - friends, lovers and family; casual and deep; social and sexual. Funny, sad, tragic, and full of surprises, they will keep you reading to the very end and wanting more." - John D'Emilio, author of Queer Legacies: Stories from Chicago's LGBTQ Archives"Gregg Shapiro's How to Whistle documents the 1980s with sharp observation, humor, and keen insights. A decadent decade when urban tastes and desires "lit in a faint orange glow" knew no boundaries, friends and lovers being rushed to the hospital was a typical lunchtime conversation, and pop icons went from tragic to martyred saints of the bullied. This short story collection is also an homage to 1980s Boston and Chicago, as hip as Tama Janowitz' Manhattan in Slaves of New York, and as raw and sexy as Bret Easton Ellis' L.A. in Less Than Zero." - R. Zamora Linmark, author of The Importance of Being Wilde at Heart"How to Whistle Gregg Shapiro's stories bring together a whole kaleidoscope of gay life - from tricks to lovers, passionate romances to bitter breakups, gentle tenderness to raw lust - with voice of singular and simple honesty." - Christine Sneed, author of Little Known Facts
