The Other Man by Paul Alan Fahey is now available in e-book format! Who is the other man? He’s an accident waiting to happen: the skateboarder round the bend, the smiling barista with the extra hot mocha, the computer geek eager to retool your mate’s hard drive. He’s a relationship gatecrasher bound by no rules and with no sense of fair play. Like Caesar, he comes, he sees, he conquers. On the flip side, you or I can be the other man, charging in and breaking the bonds of a committed relationship without a thought to the pain and misery inflicted upon the injured parties. Face it: We’re not all innocent bystanders in other-man scenarios. The Other Man is an artistic collaboration by and about gay men and their relationships. If you’ve ever been the other man, had him invade your life, or are just plain curious about this beguiling, unpredictable and dangerous creature, then this anthology of personal essays is for you. Twenty-one of our most acclaimed authors, many Lambda Award winners and finalists, write candidly about either being the other man, suffering the other man or having their relationships tested by infidelity. What they tell us is we must take heart, it does get better and one day our luck is bound to change. We’ll survive the bumps and detours in our relationships and weather the storms, or resolve to move on. Along the way, we’ll hope to meet someone new and simpatico, maybe even our long-awaited soul mate. Life will be good again. Or will it? Contributors include: Perry Brass, Austin Bunn, Rob Byrnes, Mark Canavera, R.W. Clinger, Lewis DeSimone, Paul Alan Fahey, Wes Hartley, William Henderson, Allen Mack, Jeff Mann, Tom Mendicino, Erik Orrantia, Felice Picano, David Pratt, Glen Retief, Jeffrey Ricker, Rodney Ross, Jason Schneiderman, Philip Dean Walker, and Chuck Willman. Edited by: Paul Alan Fahey. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this anthology will go to the It Gets Better Project. Read an excerpt or buy a copy today!

Guest post by UK Meet Acquisitions Team … Sauce. It’s what we Brits love. Maybe it’s tomato on our chips, or HP on our sausages. It could be strawberry or chocolate on ice cream. Best of all, it’s caramel or custard on our sticky toffee pudding. We love other sorts of sauce, though. The sort you get on seaside postcards, some of them now recognised as classic art, like the works of Donald McGill. There’s a distinct difference between sauce and smut, for example fans of the Carry On films would say the earlier films are saucy, the later smutty. Sauce is never explicit or gratuitous, relying instead on double entendre and innuendo(which isn’t and Italian suppository). Some might say that this sort of humour is all in the mind. When the fat man on that postcard says he can’t see his little Willy, he’s clearly looking for the little boy who’s playing in the sand. It’s only your dirty mind which reads it as anything else. Isn’t it? But then English — or British English, should we say — is a funny old language. Like the Inuit have many different words for snow, we Brits seem to have loads of terms for types of rain (naturally) and many for humour. Sauce, smut, blue, schoolboy, adult, post-modern, etc. Maybe it’s because we’re a race who appreciate a good laugh, often at our own expense. Self deprecating - there’s another one! It’s the same with the word “lashings”. You might look at it and think “whips!” but we Brits think of generous quantities, full to overflowing. Lashings of ginger beer, what? So Lashings of Sauce means loads of fun. Why not indulge yourself, while it’s free? You can download it for FREE for today only: Lashings of Sauce.
