Publishers Weekly just released their review of The Walls of Sparta by Charles Lloyd. Needless to say, it's very positive: "Readers will be transported by this erotic trip to the past." The book is a marvelous mosaic novel about the life of Sparta's most famous king (as well as his family, suitors, and notable subjects). The author is a professor of Classics, and the prose is full of rich details without ever sacrificing compelling characters or stories.

The book releases this Summer. 

We're very excited to offer this collection of short fiction and creative non-fiction by acclaimed author Keith Banner. I think if you grew up in a small town, especially one in the Rust Belt, you'll doubly appreciate his tales. 

Hello, everyone. It's been too long since last I posted in this column. I aim to remedy that. 

So let me start by announcing the good news of four recent Lethe titles are finalists for awards!

...Lambda Literary Awards...
Matthew Bright's Stories to Sing in the Dark is a finalist in the category of Best LGBT Fantasy/Horror/Science Fiction. Thomas Kearnes' Texas Crude is a finalist in Best LGBT Erotica. And Bogi Takács' The Trans Space Octopus Congregation is a finalist in Best Transgender Fiction. We're offer a sale on each of these books.

...Indies Book of the Year Awards...
Jeff Mann's Endangered Species is a finalist in the category of Best LGBT Non-fiction!

I'm very pleased by how well these books have done. And I am hopeful we will have more awards news in the near future.
