Today we have three new Chasers for you.

Seeds of Time 1: Blue Roses by GS Wiley

Simon is happy with his quiet, peaceful life, working as the front of house
manager in a small-town repertory theater. Things get even better when his
long-time boyfriend, leading man Adrian Newland, pops the question, and
Simon is all set to plan the commitment ceremony of the century.

But his dreams are shattered when he learns Adrian has been unfaithful.
Distressed by her brother's unhappiness, Simon's young sister Kelly visits a
local psychic, who gives her a potion promising to 'remove all barriers to
true love.' Simon is skeptical, until he finds himself launched sixty years
into the past and face-to-face with a sympathetic vicar who has more than a
few skeletons in his own closet.

Spice it Up:

Saffron Stains by Alex Draven

Jem is tired of watching Kael come and go from the fae court, tired of
wondering whether his beautiful lover needs him more than he needs his
family. He waited patiently the last time Kael disappeared, but he's not
sure he can do it again, and when Kael doesn't come home one night, Jem
wonders if it's all over for good.

Kael would much rather be home with Jem than be in the fairy court with his
mother and sister, but he has obligations. Obligations that lead to him
neglecting the one thing he truly cares about. Can Kael find a way to
convince Jem that he wants to come home?

Taste Tests:

Taste Test: Chrome by Tory Temple

How much trouble is a shiny Fiat worth? Quite a bit, if you're into Chrome.
Three stories follow one hot car through its life, from Nicholas and John
who celebrate their newly solvent status by buying a car, and enjoying the
reclining seats, to Evan, who inherits the car from his dad, and shares the
benefits with his best friend.

Finally, the now-vintage Fiat ends up with Tanner, who hopes to impress
fellow car show enthusiast Billy. All of these boys have one thing in
common. They love the glow, gleam and glitter of Chrome.

Toy Box:

Toy Box: Beads edited by M. Rode with stories by Lee Benoit, S. Blaise and
Syd McGinley

Beads as a sex toy? Absolutely. They can be hotter than hot, and the three
stories in this toy box prove it. First, Paulo and Preston are back in Lee
Benoit's Adaptation. Paulo worries that Preston is no longer interested in
topping him. He goes to Preston's best friend Tasim for advice, but can
Tasim help Paulo figure out what's wrong or are Paulo and Preston on their
way out?

In An Innocent Misunderstanding by S. Blaise, relative innocent Stephen lets
himself into his boyfriend Ray's apartment one afternoon to find a string of
rubber beads with a note reading "I'm sure you can find something to do with
this." Stephen figures the beads are some sort of decoration, so when Ray
comes home, they're both in for a bit of a surprise!

Finally, Syd McGinley brings us Ain't Misbehavin'. Rinnie and Tommy are
living with Dr. Fell's mentor, Dr. Pol Rønne. When Tommy takes too long
getting ready to go home after a drag show, he and Rinnie have to put on a
show of their own for Pol using Tommy's mardi gras beads in a most unusual
way.

Screwdrivers:

Keeping Karma by Tory Temple

Alexander Myers and his twin sister Tabitha were born with the incredible ability to "hear" the thoughts of animals. Alex has managed to keep this a secret and has actually used it to his advantage for his job, working in an emergency animal care clinic and
volunteering at the animal shelter while he studies to become a veterinarian.

One night while Alex is working the front desk, Dylan Travers, a local animal control officer, comes in with an injured fawn. When Alex and Dylan become involved, it gets harder and harder for Alex to keep his secret. On top of that, Alex has a little menagerie of his own in his apartment, including a ferret called Karma, who he's not supposed to have as a pet. As the two men become closer, Alex worries about how Dylan will react if Alex tells him about his pets and then his special ability.

Add to that debilitating migraines from especially 'loud' animals, and a dangerous co-worker who Alex butts heads with, and life is suddenly far more exciting than Alex would like. Will he be able to keep his job, his pets, his lover and his sanity?
