Extract from my booklist of fantasy novels - some homoerotic examples.

Most recent is probably Ellen Kushner: Swordspoint, and that's not new.

No, I tell a lie: I'd rec this series currently developing: Sarah Monette [LJ truepenny]: The Doctrine of Labyrinths 1 Mélusine, 2 The Virtu, 3 Mirador

Melissa Scott: Five-Twelfths of Heaven, Silence in Solitude, Empress of Earth; Burning Bright; Dreamships, Dreaming Metal; The Kindly Ones, Mighty Good Road, Trouble and Her Friends (she's gay, and most of her books feature a gay heroine, but gayness isn't the focus, just a fact of life)

Elizabeth A Lynn: Watchtower, The Dancers of Arun, The Northern Girl (trilogy); A Different Light (more 'modern' setting), The Sardonyx Net (focuses on a scary SM homoerotic relationship). Dunno if any of them are currently in print, though.

Samuel Delany's SF novels are heavily SM/Ds homoerotic, from the POV of the submissive, usually; I find them a bit hard to take, but he used to write interesting stuff about language, too. Old.

Not homoerotic, and YA in intention, esp the first two: Joy Chant: Red Moon Black Mountain, The Grey Mane of Morning, When Voiha Wakes ('sbeautiful! a women-in-charge world, from POV of nice young man). Also not new.

Hmm. Looks as if I haven't found much lately.
