Kink Is: Divine Deviance, an anthology
In this groundbreaking anthology, featuring a foreword by Margaret Cho, kinky people from around the world reveal in intimate detail their true stories of embracing the non-traditional practices that have informed or defined their identities, sexualities, relationships, connections, and communities. Filled with first-person narratives and stunning photographs, Kink Is captures the universal presence of kink across cultures, private lives, and public events. In these stories – as vulnerably honest as they are bravely bold – real people share what motivates and animates their desires to experience human-to-human connection in novel ways, most often in the pursuit of increased emotional freedom, physical autonomy, individual power, and mind-altering joy. Featured here are activists, rebels, and professionals alike: Readers will meet a teacher, a technology guru, a priest, a political prisoner, a therapist, an astrophysicist, and a grandmother, among many others.
Kink Is, Divine Deviance, Foreword by Margaret Cho, An Anthology of Surprisingly Relatable True Stories About Sex, Power, and Joy, Unbound Edition; ISBN: 9798989233373; 290 pages; 66 photographs

The Leather Daddy and The Femme by Carol Queen
It’s another night in San Francisco, and Miranda (aka Randy, when she’s not dressed like a boy) has hit the streets looking for trouble. She has an eye for gay men in leather, and most nights she’s too much of a girl for them. But tonight she meets her match: Jack, who thinks she’s hot no matter who she is. This is San Francisco’s notorious SOMA of the 1990s – home to dark alleys, tastefully appointed dungeons, hotel penthouses, clubs where gender dissolves and reshapes. In this bygone sexual utopia, Randy/Miranda embraces desires beyond gender and orientation, beyond what she ever thought she could contain… A FIRECRACKER ALTERNATIVE BOOK AWARD WINNER FOR BEST FICTION!
