Drag Queen in the Court of Death
 My second standalone mystery was published in January, 2007, (from Harrington Park) a bit ahead of schedule. Check out the opening chapter by clicking on the link in the left-hand menu.
Advance praise:
"A SEDUCTIVE BLEND OF CAMP HUMOUR, PATHOS AND ANTICIPATION"
Anthony Bidulka, author of the award-winning Russell Quant mystery series, including Flight of Aquavit, winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Men's Mystery
"A FIRST-RATE MYSTERY. . . . A GREAT READ AND WELL WORTH A SPECIAL TRIP TO THE BOOKSTORE"
Mark Zubro, author of the Tom and Scott mystery series and A Simple Suburban Murder, winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best Gay Men's Mystery
The Danger Dance
 The second book in the Merculian series, is also available now in an bookstore near you. Or you can order online. The Danger Dance is actually a "prequel" to Abulon, since it takes place earlier and describes some events only hinted at in that book. Click on the link on the left to read an excerpt.
Advance praise:
"a sparkling futurist romp."
"(A tale) imbued with a tingling subversity of gender, sexuality, and goose-bumping excitement. Soles can really write, with wit, sensuosity, and depth." Perry Brass
The Abulon Dance
The pleasure-loving hermaphrodites of the Merculian National Dance Company are on tour to mysterious Abulon. The natives seem friendly enough, but when the star's young lover is kidnapped, the Merculians find themselves plunged into an alien civil war they are ill-equipped to survive.
"...a crackerjack SF novel -- moving, eloquent, and richly textured. I recommend it highly."
Robert J. Sawyer
The Tangled Boy
 My first mystery. The murder of notorious Jordan King shocks the small resort town of Fairleigh Heights. Seventeen year old Cory Williams was there that night. Now the boy is terrified—of his own peculiar desires; of his classmates who persecute him mercilessly; and most of all, of the threatening shadowy men who know his shameful secret. Read an excerpt by clicking the link.
"Caro Soles makes a very impressive debut as a mystery writer with The Tangled Boy, an intriguing and haunting tale of a boy's sexual awakening set against a backdrop of small-town murder."
Peter Robinson
"Provocative and engrossing, Caro Soles' "The Tangled Boy" haunts the reader long after the last page is turned. This is an impressive debut novel that leaves us wanting more."
