SUMMARY:Contributors to Sensual Travels: The Best of Gay Travel Erotica Read at the Bureau
DESCRIPTION:Dominic Ambrose\, Michael Luongo (editor)\, and Michael Mele will read. \nSensual Travels: The Best of Gay Travel Erotica \nEdited by Michael Luongo \nBruno Gmünder May 2013 \nWhether traversing desert sands\, steamy jungles\, or the urban playground: these are the erotic encounters told by men willing to roam. The stories in Sensual Travels pack a sexual punch\, and carry with them the resonance and character of their locales. The writers in this book got to relish and relive their adventures\, revisiting them in their minds as they wrote them down for these stories. For the reader\, each chance encounter described by the writers is brand new\, as fresh and exciting as they were on the day they happened years ago on continents far away. \nEdited by renowned travel writer Michael Luongo\, Sensual Travels includes contributions from Felice Picano\, Lawrence Schimel\, Michael Mele (reading)\, Dominic Ambrose (reading)\, Sebastian V\, Jesse Archer\, Trebor Healey\, and many others\, writing on destinations as diverse as Spain\, Japan\, Lebanon\, Brazil\, Russia\, Thailand and other regions. \nBruno Gmünder Website listing for the Book: \nhttps://www.brunogmuender.com/products/details/id/7424_Sensual_Travels \n  \nBIOS \n \nDOMINIC AMBROSE is a writer with a transatlantic vocation.
