Love Lockdown ($9.99 Kindle), by Mia Edwards, is free in the Sony ebookstore (DRM'd EPUB format). If it shows up free in the Kindle store, I'll post an update.

Book Description
Tiffany has vowed to get revenge on her half-sister and her boyfriend for killing her father Shon and her long-time lover Saliq. But first, Tiffany has to stay low until the dust settles. Tired of being slept on and disrespected, she meets Rasheeda, one of her father’s former associates, who is also one of the baddest women in the streets. Rasheeda not only runs an elite escort service and a hot nightclub on the Virginia Beach strip, but she’s also one of the major cocaine distributors in the Mid-Atlantic. Rasheeda takes Tiffany under her wing and introduces her to the side of the game that Shon had never revealed to his daughter.

Soon Tiffany reconnects with more of her father’s former associates, settles old debts and rebuilds her father’s drug reign in Virginia. Her reach soon spreads to Charlotte and Memphis. But Tiffany won’t be happy until she finds Kanika and Tyrell. There are people who are willing to help Tiffany seek the just revenge that she’s been craving for years.

Two Free Books from Rainbow EBooks

There are two free gay-themed books from Rainbow EBooks this weekend. You will need an account (which is a bit of a hassle to sign up for, the first time) and the formats are uneven (I think one is PDF only, while the other has several formats available).

Among the Living (PsyCop #1), by Jordan Castillo Price

Book Description
Victor Bayne, the psychic half a PsyCop team, is a gay medium who’s more concerned with flying under the radar than in making waves.

He hooks up with handsome Jacob Marks, a non-psychic (or “Stiff”) from an adjacent precinct at his ex-partner’s retirement party and it seems like his dubious luck has taken a turn for the better. But then a serial killer with a gruesome M.O. surfaces--and no one agrees what he looks like.

Solving murders is a snap when you can ask the victims whodunit, but this killer’s not leaving any spirits behind.


Self-Organizing Men, by Jay Sennett

Book Description
Self-Organizing Men explores that much-written about, highly politicized, rarely understood phenomenon known as "man." A collection of political cartoons, transgender stories, bio-dude poetry, trans art, drag king experimental prose, and some good ol', yet brand new, theories about (trans)/gender, this book will rock your thoughts about gender and masculinity.
