Raise your rainbow umbrellas high and celebrate!

Enjoy this enchanting, entertaining and thought-provoking collection, a heartfelt expression of what it means to be queer in Britain, past and present. All these stories reflect the iconic sights and national character of the British Isles: a taste of our idiosyncrasies and eccentricities, but also an unashamed representation of the love, loyalty and laughter of our people.

Including a wide range of style and subject, this is the perfect way to sample different authors and to find both existing and new favourites. Follow the British way of life from historic villages to modern cities, from the countryside to the sea, through history and with a fantasy twist, in gardens, churches, campus and the familiar, much-loved local pub.

The stories cover universal themes of romance, desire, remembrance and reconciliation. The authors range from multi-published to up-and-coming, and they all share a passion for their characters, whether through great drama, erotic excitement, humour -- or a combination of all three!

Contributors include: Alex Beecroft, Jennie Caldwell, Stevie Carroll, Charlie Cochrane, Lucy Felthouse, Elin Gregory, Mara Ismine, Clare London, Anna Marie May, JL Merrow, Josephine Myles, Zahra Owens, Jay Rookwood, Chris Smith, Stevie Woods, Lisa Worrall, and Serena Yates. Edited by: UK MAT (UK Meet Acquisitions Team).

This anthology is a souvenir of the 2011 UK Meet, an occasion for GLBTQ supporters to get together in a relaxed setting to celebrate and chat about the fiction community they love. Funds from the sale of this anthology will go towards future UK Meets, to which all are welcome. Please visit the website for details, or contact UK MAT through the publisher.

UK MAT is the acronym for the UK Meet Acquisitions Team, a group of authors and editors who seek to promote and share some of the very best of LGBTQ fiction. In 2011 they have produced two excellent and entertaining anthologies, one of flash fiction titled British Flash, available as a free download, and one of short fiction titled Tea & Crumpet, available from JMS Books.

The members of UK MAT attend and support the UK Meet, now in its second year, providing a fun and rewarding environment for authors, readers and allies in the LGBTQ fiction community. Maybe you'll join us there some time!

UK MAT, the real people? We are Josephine Myles, Alex Beecroft, Charlie Cochrane, Clare London, and JL Merrow. We all publish in our own right, and wholeheartedly love our genre. For more information on UK MAT, please visit ukglbtfictionmeet.co.uk.
