BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Hot & Bothered, together with Quickies, are hot his-and-her follow-ups to the highly successful Queer View Mirror 1 and 2 books of queer "short short" fiction. Hot & Bothered includes work by 69 women from the US, Canada and elsewhere-stories about danger, romance, humor, and of course, hot sex. From a woman in love with Marge Simpson (asking the question, "Are your nipples blue, too?") to a sex-obsessed dyke trying to do her grocery shopping, to a woman wearing tit clamps trying to go through airport security, the stories in Hot & Bothered will get you there in 1,000 words or less.
Contributors include such luminaries as Dorothy Allison (Bastard Out of Carolina and Skin), Lucy Jane Bledsoe, Joan Nestle, Nisa Donnelly, Gerry Gomez Pearlberg, Sarah Schulman (Rat Bohemia), Persimmon Blackbridge (Sunnybrook and Prozac Highway), Judith Katz, Lesléa Newman (The Femme Mystique), Elana Dykewomon, Jess Wells, and Kitty Tsui (Breathless).
This book is the first of the four-volume Hot & Bothered series.
