Review:
Fired from his job at the slick gay lifestyle magazine, Phag, Peter Mallory has to find a way to make a living. When his best friend suggests writing a book about the bear community, Peter is skeptical. But as soon as he realizes that with a new “bear” look he can go undercover at his old job and get his revenge, Peter is letting his body hair grow out and practicing the fine art of flannel couture. But of course, things are about to get hairy. When Peter’s sabotage campaign works almost too well, he starts to run the risk of discovery. And when an intriguing bear steals his heart, Peter realizes that his double life could end very badly. Where else could the story conclude but at the annual global bear meeting in San Francisco? With an envious fellow bear set to unmask Peter as a fraud, and his old magazine about to announce new plans for market domination, what can Peter do? If you answered “strap on a leather jockstrap, participate in a bear beauty pageant, and almost die in an elevator crash,” you’re getting close. Peter Mallory is in for the ride of his life!

Review:
This collection of all previously unpublished "bearotic" fiction gathers a zoo-full of varying styles, settings, subjects, characters, and author backgrounds. Like the Bear subculture itself, there is something stimulating for everyone: literary and smutty, romantic and hardcore, rustic and citified, historical and postmodern. Collected here is a jungle orgy of grizzlies and musclebears, daddybears and cubs, chubs and otters, bikerbears and bearlovers, "straight" bears and gorillas and lions and wolves and bulls, oh my! The contributors come from all over the U.S. and from the U.K., Germany, Denmark, and Australia. One can't necessarily tell from their pen names or writing, but several outstanding stories by women are included. These twenty-five stories are more than "genre fiction" - they tweak more than one's furry gonads - although there's plenty of hot hairy-heavy-homo sex in these pages. These well-crafted tales display depth of heart and understanding and humor - essential qualities that endear to us the sexy creatures we call bears.

Review:
In 25 candid discussions, Bears on Bears brings together 57 contributors from around the world, from a rich variety of perspectives and backgrounds. With lighthearted playfulness as well as serious analysis, these Bears (as well as some nonbearish Bear-lovers) describe themselves, their lives and loves, their sense of masculinity, and their flourishing community-cum-culture. Widely excerpted in the gay media, Bears on Bears is the first interview book ever (gay-themed or otherwise) compiled primarily from online interactions. This groundbreaking collection of voices gathered from in and around the edge of this unique culture is both entertaining and enlightening. Several of the interviews were serialized on Resources for Bears and some are still available in the archives (look for articles written by Ron Suresha). More info available at bearsonbears.com.

Review:
Main character, Bear Ryan O'Hara, named for the Bear Constellation "Orion," meets blond musclebear "Kick" in San Francisco in 1970's Wild Party of sexual liberation. 15 main characters sweep thru this novel of gay history that the Advocate called "the Gay 'Gone with the Wind.'" Bear author Michael Bronkski wrote in Boston Gay Guide: "a sweeping epic...recreates more than a decade of gay history--its sights, smells, nerves, and guts. 'Some Dance' astonishes and bewilders, seduces and frightens us because Fritscher has captured, with intelligence and love, the way we live, both then and now. Jack Fritscher is the legendary founding editor of "Drummer" and helped found "Bear" magazine for whom he was a model as well as a photographer whose video work is all the bears of Palm Drive Video. Jack Fritscher also wrote the intro to the 2001 book, "Bear Book 2." "Some Dance" takes place in the Golden Age: 1970-1982 in San Francisco. This is the homomasculine book that--if you were there at the 70's party--will take you back. Many daddy bears have their cubs read this novel so they can see what they missed in that Glory Decade between penicillin and HIV when everything sexual was possible. Kick, the Muscle Bear, is a dropdead blond bodybuilder who gets "too big." "Some Dance" is the story of 2 Bears, a City, a Murder, a Plague, a Lost Civilization, a Love Story. Every Bear should have "Some Dance" on his coffee table. This is the first and only novel that has a bear as its central character. It's sexy. You may even be able to get off on it, but the book is real writing, and it will not insult your intelligence. You'll laugh. You'll cry. "Some Dance" is the REAL TALES OF THE CITY! "The New Republic" called "Some Dance" "a classic equal to Gore Vidal and James Baldwin. A WONDERFUL BEAR STORY.
