A Soldiers First Last Kiss - a...

Guy Veryzer

This time his Andy had to be back at his Air Force base in twenty-four hours.  
Roger thought to himself, Twenty-four hours seems a lifetime.  
The handsome young soldier stood in the middle of Grand Central Station watching the hands move slowly on the grand gold clock atop the round information booth. 
He felt as if he was watching his life tick by… 
When your country is in a war, a world war; every day is a lifetime. It felt as if Roger had been waiting all his life to find a man to love him, indeed he had been. For men in the military to love was very secret and rare…It had taken a long time to meet on leave a year ago. Now, they would have such a short time together. All there time together was short except for two weeks they had managed once on the shore of Long Island.    
Andy was the first man he had ever kissed, really kissed and felt his affection returned. He had felt revelation in those warm male lips on his. He felt perhaps he wasn’t one of god’s mistakes after all, not a misfit, for he and Andy fit together perfectly right from the start.

Moving Mars

Greg Bear

Greg Bear is "a writer who is rapidly redefining the shape of the modern hard science fiction novel" (Keith Ferrell, Omni Magazine), and in Moving Mars he explores one very plausible scenario for the future of Earth's neighboring planet. 
Mars is a colonial world governed by corporate interests on Earth. The citizens of Mars are hardworking, brave, and intelligent, but held back by their lack of access to the best education, and the desire of Earthly powers to keep the best inventions for themselves. The young Martians - the second and third generation born on Mars - have little loyalty to the Earth, and strong belief that their planet can be independent. The revolution begins slowly, but matures to its inevitable conclusion.

The Kingdom is a Golden Cage

Lilly Inkwood

A magical, classic fairytale reimagined… 
Once upon a time there was a princess, locked in a tower, forced to bend to her father’s will… 
But Celine is no ordinary princess, and she has no intention of being a damsel in distress. 
Celine has a lover, Hugo, whose cunning plan to rescue her is tied up in his own ambition to reclaim the lands and title that are his birthright. If only they can break the spell that binds him to the body of a cat, they will free the kingdom from the grasp of a cruel witch and live happily ever after… 
For the plan to succeed, they must rely on Hugo’s cousin, Philippe, to whom Celine must bind herself in marriage until Hugo can be reinstated. It’s a risk to trust him, but it soon becomes clear that this is the least of their problems, because this is a land of shapeshifters, magic, and illusion, where nothing is as it seems, even the truth. 
This is Puss in Boots with the intrigue and backstabbing of Game of Thrones. A fairytale, but not as you know it…Praise for Lilly Inkwood:
