We have our first stops on the Travels Through the Scarlet Equinox Blog Tour! First off, I’m interviewed on Anne Barwell’s “Drops of Ink” blog: If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things (or people) would you want there with you?

Who knows how long we’ll be out there. Thanks, Anne! Next up, I have a guest post over at … Read more

Hey all. SA “Baz” Collins here. When Scott asked me to guest blog on his site I was immediately intrigued. In the short time I’ve come to know Scott and his works I’ve been nothing short of impressed at the sheer volume of work he does in queer storytelling (writing novels being just one aspect). So what to write about? I pondered talking about my current work (Angels of Mercy – which has a new release coming out at the end of September) that dives into homophobia in competitive sports (in this case American high school football). And while a … Read more

It’s not like he hasn’t seen it before. “I’m sorry,” Dominic said. … Read more

Wow – lots of news this week – today is also the launch date for “Discovery: QSF’s Second Annual Flash Fiction Contest”. This is a great little book – and I say little because none of the hundred-plus stories included are more that 300 words long. The five contest winners are included, but there are many other great stories in here, running the gamut from sci fi to fantasy to paranormal to horror. It’s also a fundraiser for QSF… after the great folks at Mischief Corner Books take a small cut to pay expenses, the rest goes to fund the … Read more
