'I am about to make my first kill of the day. Correction: the first kill I notice. Eddie. Nick. Nigel. David. Russell. Frederick. Ste. Michael. Emile. Jack. Jamie. Brandon. By turns poignant, funny and tragic, coupling follows the sexual paths of twelve very different gay men-a young runaway, a closeted father, an obese porn star, a dying pensioner, a Hollywood actor-as, through each other, they search for excitement, friendship, lust, and love. 'I will sit up all night in this secret place he calls home. Just to watch him sleep. 'Robin Tamblyn, author of La-La Land expose King of Hollywood and the adrenaline-packed Velocity, has come full circle with coupling, a collection of twelve short, erotic stories. Infused with Tamblyn's signature youthful energy and spot-on dialogue, each story sizzles with lively humor, camp drama and sexual tension so thick, you'll need to sharpen your Ginsu knives to cut through it. -Michael D.

Matt Santini is discontented. An unhappily closeted gay actor, he's just lost his lover and is fast approaching thirty without so much as a decent soap opera callback in sight.

24 year old Richard Lucas has even bigger problems. The newest recruit of fading Formula One team Logan Racing, he's fighting to escape the omnipresent shadow of his ace older brother as well as his burgeoning sexuality.

After Matt wins a role in hip new TV drama "Nightsearcher" (think: "Buffy" on wheels), the two men begin a secret affair that takes them all over the globe on a collision course between career and companionship in which there can only be one victor.

"Robin Tamblyn follows up backdoor-to-Tinseltown blockbuster "King of Hollywood" with "Velocity," a steamy, adrenaline-rush, fast paced novel mixing hot guys, sexy shenanigans and Formula One racing. Written with verve and a youthful edge, "Velocity" takes you on the inside track to the macho world of racing, where sex and the need for speed meet head on. Fasten your seat belts readers, "Velocity" is one pleasure-trip of a ride!"
