Dear Mike,

Welcome . . .

Chewin' the Fat is a publication from The Complete Bear designed for the bear community. It is published on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month.

Chewin' the Fat will offer up the best of the bear lifestyle - casual, cool, or woofy. Whatever it takes to complete the bear.

For the bear, his cub and their den . . .

Bear Bones Books

Recently, we chatted with author Ron Suresha.

Lethe Press is pleased to announce that the first book-publishing imprint intended for readers in the gay and bisexual "Bear" community has been initiated and will produce its first title by year's end.

Ron Jackson Suresha will serve as the acquisitions and developmental editor for the Bear Bones Books line. Suresha has been a member of the Bear community since its mid-1980s inception, and has written, published, and broadcasted extensively on emergent queer masculinities. Suresha stated, "I'm excited to be working with Lethe Press, which has published important gay books since 2001. Together we can now offer gay and bi Bears and other readers the best literature on the subject."
