 The Velvet Rage:Overcoming the Pain of Growing Up Gay in a Straight Man's World

 The most important issue in a gay man's life is not 'coming out,' but coming to terms with the invalidating past where we learned that we are shameful...."
The gay male world today is characterized by seductive beauty, artful creativity, flamboyant sexuality, and, encouragingly, unprecedented acceptability in society. Yet despite the progress of the past century, our intimate relationships are generally short-lived compared to straight relationships, sexually transmitted diseases among us are at epidemic proportions, and depression and suicide occur far more frequently than among straight men.
Even though an entire generation of us has openly and freely come out of the closet, we still find ourselves asking, "Are we really better off?" Through bravely honest individual stories and compassionate analysis, The Velvet Rage explores how our contentment has been destroyed by lingering, deep-rooted shame-a shame that can be traced to our childhood experiences of feeling "other" and perhaps emotionally abandoned by the first men in our lives, our fathers. Most of us rage quietly against the shame we feel so acutely, masking it behind a faade of beauty, creativity, or material success.
It doesn't have to be this way. There is a way out of this emotional bind.
Drawing on contemporary psychological research, the author's own journey to be free of anger and of shame, as well as the stories of many of his friends and clients, Velvet Rage outlines the three distinct stages to emotional well-being for gay men. Offering profoundly helpful strategies to stop the insidious cycle of avoidance and self-defeating behavior, Velvet Rage is an empowering book you'll wish you read long ago.
It's not too late to begin healing now.

Rag Tag
 Raymond (Danny Parsons) and Tagbo (Damola Adelaja), Rag and Tag, were inseparable childhood friends until Social Services tore them apart, removing Rag from his neglectful mother in London. At twenty-three, Rag returns a school dropout and jobless, while Tag has just graduated from law-school and is now applying to top-ranking London firms. But after all these years, they realize they are still connected on some deeper level and are oblivious to what anyone else thinks of their friendship. Tag's Bible-preaching father has more disdain for the boys' renewed friendship than he does for his son's white socialist girlfriend. Rag and Tag's love for each other remains bottled up until a wealthy friend, with some shady business deal, invites them to Nigeria where they have plenty of time alone for their love to blossom. Finally ready to make a commitment to each other on their return to London, they realize that the obstacles they face may tear them apart forever. Read More - See Video Trailer

 As an entertainment industry veteran, Aaron Powell has worked briefly in
front of the camera and very successfully behind the scenes
representing some of the biggest names in television, radio, music,
books, and film. He started out as a dancer in old-school hip hop videos
and in New York City clubs. He met a lot of aspiring actors at dance
auditions and in the clubs and eventually got bit by the acting bug and
began auditioning for everything, including a few Spike Lee movies. On
an audition, he met a casting director who encouraged him to follow all
his dreams but to have a back-up plan and suggested he look into the
world of public relations. He followed her advice and eventually landed a
internship at ARISTA Records, whose roster at the time included Whitney
Houston, TLC, Annie Lennox, Aretha Franklin and Carly Simon, to name a
few. After ARISTA, Powell worked at one of the most prominent
black-owned PR Firms in N.Y., where the owner took him under his wing
and taught him the ins and outs of publicity. He worked for various
radio and TV personalities and was an independent publicist for record
labels like TOMMY BOY and ULTRA Records. He also did publicity for TV
personality Wendy Williams (for her novel, Ritz Harper Goes to Hollywood
). Powell also worked as a publicist for the late groundbreaking author
E. Lynn Harris (for his final mainstream novel, Mama Dearest).
A Good Time In the Hood

 In the initial volume of this anthology, Diesel King presents a shocking
revolution to the world of gay erotica. One that surpasses the comforts
of lustful man-sex beyond the safe confines of Castro and Christopher
Streets, and into the rough terrain of the various slums and ghettos
that dots the landscape in between. A Good Time in the Hood is a
collection of homoerotic adventures told and experienced firsthand by a
strikingly handsome muscled man of color that truly enjoys sex with
other men of color in these kinds of places. He revisits his most
intimate accounts, starting with him and his homeboys running trains on
all the neighborhood punks in the dilapidated housing projects that he
once resided in. He then recounts "repaying" what he thought was a
business partner through classic humiliation to turning out a quiet but
sexually curious college student with the help of his former cellmate.
In a surprise twist of events, he also finds himself sharing his wanton
lust with two middle-aged brothers in the same night. He even took to
mentoring a nineteen-year-old boy about the dangers of teasing grown men
along so many other scorching hot narratives. Diesel King offers
just a modest taste of the man and his numerous escapades within these
pages. He does so with the sole purpose of whetting appetites and
leaving everyone hungry for more.
