Evans' debut novella is an uproarious and uplifting romantic comedy for queer elders. When a gentleman called Joan lands up in a care home, new neighbour Jim doesn't know what's hit him. Battle begins. May the best man win. But beneath antics and antique armour plating, what are both hiding? And maybe they just may be batting for the same team.

Set in the year of the late Queen's coronation, and in the world of variety theatre, Bartlett's fourth novel, tells the story of a small man's triumph over a Goliath. Originally released by Bloomsbury, it gained him a nomination for Stonewall Author of the Year 2014; it is republished with a new introduction by the author.

These flamboyantly funny stories of self-discovery, set against the shifting social scenery of the 80s and 90s, are for everybody who's ever decided to be the person they are meant to be.

Spanning sixty years, starting in Manhattan in 1963 and culminating in Paris in 2003, this is a novel about queer history and families, loss and redemption.

Justin David's newly-released novella is part creepy coming-of-age story, part black-comedy, set partly in buzzing 1990s London and partly in barren New Mexico wildlands.

Originally published digitally by Salt as part of their Modern Dreams series, The Pharmacist is Part Three of David¿s Welston World Sagas; the novella finds Jamie and Billy in turn of the millennium London, where Billy falls for an eccentric older man.

Evans¿ second poetry collection comes in two sections: An Anthroposcene dives into the rising tides of geo-political change; Our Future is Now Downloading explores sea-changes of more personal natures.

We are all connectedIf Alice landed in London not Wonderland this book might be the result. Threads is the first collection from Nathan Evans, each poem complemented by a bespoke photograph from Justin David and, like Tenniel¿s illustrations for Carroll, picture and word weft and warp to create an alchemic (rabbit) whole.On one page, the image of an alien costume, hanging surreally beside a school uniform on a washing line, accompanies a poem about fleeing suburbia. On another, a poem about seeking asylum accompanies the image of another displaced alien on an urban train. Spun from heartfelt emotion and embroidered with humour, Threads will leave you aching with longing and laughter. ¿In this bright and beautiful collaboration, poetry and photography join hands, creating sharp new ways to picture our lives and loves. Every page delighted me.¿¿NEIL BARTLETT¿A winning blend of words and images, woven with passion and wit¿¿PAUL BURSTON¿Two boldly transgressive poetic voices¿¿MARISA CARNESKY
