Seems quite a few lovely friends of mine are involved in this book (no, I’m not getting paid to pimp this out). For those of you around KL, you can keep an eye out for the booklaunch in Annexe, Central Market during Seksualiti Merdeka, 12th-16th August 2009.

The rest of us can already pre-order Body 2 Body from Amazon.com.

All Matahari Books titles are available in major bookstores, so Body 2 Body should be as well, bar any insanities from the authorities. Otherwise, Amazon.com carries all their titles.
