Guardian spirits walk among us. They are heavenly beings who grant courage, unknown benefactors who offer help, best friends who lend their strength, and celestial beings who embody inspiration. You might not recognize these everyday angels or messengers of mercy, but the men in this anthology are touched by their purity and light and sometimes blessed by love.

Réve Garrison
Réve Garrison
Author · 2 books

Réve Garrison was born and raised in the western USA but drifted eastward until she landed in Tennessee. She has been blessed to travel in much of Europe, but there are still many pushpins marking her travel map. Her writing started off primarily with poetry in grade school before progressing to articles written for the local newspaper in high school. Nowadays, her time in front of the computer is spent more on work than the pleasure of creative writing, but she manages to catch glimpses of her muses from time to time. An avid fan of old cinema (a la Cary Grant) and ice hockey, she plans to take over the world, one letter at a time.

Diana Copland
Author · 7 books

Diana Copland began writing in the seventh grade, when she shamelessly combined elements of Jane Eyre and Dark Shadows to produce an overwrought gothic tale that earned her an A- in creative writing, thanks entirely to the generosity of her teacher. She wrote for pure enjoyment for the next three decades before discovering LiveJournal and a wonderful group of supportive fanfiction writers, who after gifting her with a "Best New Author" Award encouraged her to try her hand at original gay fiction. Born and raised in southern California, Diana moved to the Pacific Northwest after losing a beloved spouse to AIDS in 1995. She lives in eastern Washington near her two wonderful adult children and her surprisingly supportive parents.

Matthew Vandrew
Matthew Vandrew
Author · 2 books
Matthew Vandrew was born somewhere in Europe, and once he got fed up with it, he moved to Australia and then came back. He doesn't have a husband, children, or pets, so his only company is characters he creates and torments with secret and very unsettling pleasure. For the rest of the world, he is just this nice what's-his-funny-name guy. He's a man of very few words, so nobody actually believes him when he comes out as a writer.

ZAHRA OWENS is a multi-lingual globetrotter who loves big cities, but also has a weak spot for the wide-open spaces that are so rare where she lives. She likes her men either tough on the outside but with a huge soft center, or strong, silent and damaged. She makes it her personal goal to find them their happy-ever-after, the road there often leading via hospital beds, villas with gorgeous vistas or ranges full of horses. Zahra is a proud member of the Rainbow Romance Writers, the Romance Writers of America, and is also a member of RWA’s Professional Author’s Network. If Zahra had her wish, a day would have at least 36 hours, because how else would she find the time to finish all the novels still inside her head?

Roland Graeme
Author · 13 books

Roland Graeme is one of several pseudonyms used by a prolific writer of erotic fiction. Graeme, a descendant of Swiss immigrants and a native of Pennsylvania, resides in Buffalo, New York. He earned a Ph.D. in English by writing his doctoral dissertation on the novels of Sir Walter Scott (“Roland Graeme” is the protagonist of Scott’s novel The Abbot). His interests, in addition to literature, include classical music (especially opera), history, and world religions, as well as, not surprisingly, human sexuality, in all its variety and richness. Graeme has been, at one time or another, a teacher, a factory worker, a civil servant, and a music critic. The one common denominator throughout his career(s) has been his passion for freelance writing. He continues to hold down his current full-time “day job” while writing in his spare time.

S. Blaise
Author · 5 books

S. Blaise has loved reading and creating stories for as long as she can remember, but first got into the “male romance” genre through fan fiction. She found slash and yaoi quite by accident (honest!) and began voraciously reading stories online in many fandoms, finally getting up the courage to have a go at writing some fan fics herself before shifting to original fiction. She has lived on both sides of the Atlantic and so can write about Caribbean summers as easily as Scottish winters, since she has experienced both. She loves sci-fi/fantasy, murder mysteries, comic books, anime, and yaoi manga, which she spends far too much money on while still having so much more to get. She’s a creature of nocturnal habits but really wishes story ideas would stop jumping around in her mind at three in the morning when she is finally trying to sleep.

Taylor Lochland
Taylor Lochland
Author · 5 books

Taylor has been reading and writing for as long as she can remember. As a child and a teenager, she spent many weekends holed up in her room with her books. If she didn’t like something about a story, she’d often take it upon herself to write her own version. As an adult, she wrote a bit of fanfiction, but quickly discovered creating her own characters was more fun. She’s lived in the Detroit metropolitan area her entire life. When she’s not reading or writing (or working at the evil day job), she can often be found playing with her bird or her cats, walking, sewing, looking at the night sky, taking pictures of the birds in her backyard, volunteering at a wildlife rehab, or watching baseball or hockey. Taylor is most creative after midnight but unfortunately has a job that usually requires her to be awake by 7:30 a.m. She just knows that the sleep deprivation will catch up to her one of these days.

H.J. Brues
Author · 4 books
H.J. Brues lives in Spain, enjoying the hot weather, the brisk language, the warm-hearted people, and the thousands of books of the library she works in. She has a degree in medieval history and loves castles, knights in shining armor, and barbarian warriors with no armor at all. She practiced fencing till her knees started complaining, took archery till her elbow almost fell off, and then, wisely, switched to the less martial of the martial arts, tai chi.
