This one’s fun. Boy Meets Boy asked me to write a flash fic piece and gave me a few photos to choose from as inspiration. Here’s the one I chose: And a teaser: “Holy crap.” Jillian Tinsnip’s spell had gone horribly awry. He was a bit of a crap magician to begin with. He was always leaving his wand back at the apprentice dorm when it was time for his Witchery & Wizardry course, and just last week he’d accidentally turned the rest of his class into frogs when he was trying a spell to conjure himself up a fair … Read more

All of my writing is done. I mean, not forever. But I just wrapped up the first story arc of my online serial “The River City Chronicles.” I sent my second draft of “The Rising Tide” off to beta. And I finished edits on my Christmas story “I Only Want to Be With You.” So I’m currently between writing gigs. It’s a little weird. It won’t last for long. Although I’m done with new writing for a month or two, I’m about to dive into consistency edits on “River City;” I’ll have edits for “Lander” (the sequel to “Skythane”) shortly; … Read more
Dragonmount just posted a four star review of my forthcoming epic queer sci fi book, “The Stark Divide”: This story is very epic in scope, spanning over a thirty year period. You get to see the birth of the seedling, its adolescence, and finally its capabilities of being a host and home for humanity. One enjoyable aspect is viewing the technology as it grows, understanding the process taken to ensure the survival of the human race. It’s a well thought out and logical system. The idea of the self-aware AI is given a different spin in this story. They are seen … Read more
Last year was my first at GRL in Kansas City. I was a GRL virgin and a Supporting Author, which basically meant I had a few novellas out and some other miscellaneous work. It was an amazing con for me, and Mark and I are thrilled to be returning this fall for GRL Denver. This year is different. I’m attending as a Featured Author for the first time. It’s a choice I made with some difficulty, as I still feel like the little guy no one really knows about. Yeah, folks know me for Queer Sci Fi and QueeRomance Ink, … Read more
