ABOUT THE EDITOR
RICHARD LABONTE (tattyhill@gmail.com) was a gay book-seller for twenty years, has written book reviews for more than thirty years, has edited about thirty (mostly erotic) gay anthologies for Cleis Press and Arsenal Pulp Press, and spends his weekends as a kitchen assistant preparing lunches and dinners for as many as sixty people. He lives on beautiful Bowen Island, a short ferry ride from Vancouver, with husband Asa Dean Liles and their two dogs, both (the dogs, not the men) frustrated because they have not yet caught one of the island’s hundreds of free-roaming deer, which would be a natural thing to do, but so very wrong. Several editions of the Best Gay Erotica series, which he has edited since 1996, have been Lambda Literary Award finalists, and two have won, as has First Person Queer (Arsenal Pulp), coedited with Lawrence Schimel.
