ABOUT THE EDITOR
RICHARD LABONTÉ lives on small, friendly Bowen Island, off the coast of British Columbia, with his 9.5-year-younger husband Asa and their dogs Zak and Tiger-Lily. One day shortly after the Labonté-Liles household settled on Bowen, Asa went into the post office to pick up a parcel for Richard, and was told by the postmistress: “Your father is so cute.” The next day, Richard trimmed his beard and cut his hair, and looked a decade younger. The postmistress still flirts with him, but now in jest. He reads many books and writes about them; reads many, many short stories and edits them into such anthologies as Bears, Boys in Heat, Hot Gay Erotica, Where the Boys Are, Best Gay Bondage Erotica, Best Gay Romance 2008 and 2009, Country Boys, Boy Crazy, and the fourteen-year-old Best Gay Erotica series. He co-edited (with Lawrence Schimel) The Future Is Queer and First Person Queer, winner of the 2007 Lambda Literary Anthology Award, and Second Person Queer, forthcoming from Arsenal Pulp Press.
