POINT OF VIEW: Taking a Writing Vacation

by

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

ADVANCE REVIEW: The Stark Divide – Dragonmount

by
Dragonmount Review - The Stark Divide

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

The One Where I Stop By Bayou Book Junkie

by

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

Point of View: Bid on a River City Walk On Part, For Chechnya

by

Hey all, It’s time once again for my weekly writerly column. Usually I focus on how my own writer life is going, often with a pithy list or some wry comments. Today I’m gonna break that tradition for something that I feel is really important. The strongman leader of Chechnya, in Eastern Europe, has embarked on a campaign to decimate his country’s queer community, with an emphasis on rooting out gay men. The government has set up concentration camps, has practiced torture on its own citizens, and has encouraged families to kill their gay relatives. It’s a shocking reversion to … Read more

Point of View: Reaching Your Community

by
Scott - Milk and Cookies

Hey all, I’m still a little high after last night’s inaugural Milk and Cookies event in Sacramento. About six months ago, Pat Henshaw, Christopher Koehler and I banded together to create a new local group for writers of queer fiction – The Queer Sacramento Author’s Collective – or QSAC. Our idea was initially just to have a place for local authors to hang out and start building our own version of the Algonquin Round Table – an exchange of ideas over french fries and salad. But then we started thinking a little bigger. Sacramento’s a fairly small town, but we’re … Read more

Love Bytes Loves Skythane

by
Love Bytes Skythane

Another great Skythane review, this one by Dan at Love Bytes Reviews: I really liked this one. I reviewed The Autumn Lands from this author last year and thoroughly enjoyed that one, so when I saw this one pop up on our list, I grabbed it. I’m glad I did. Mr. Coatsworth has created a believable world and populated it with believable characters. It was a fast read, and I didn’t want to put it down once I started it. What I especially like about this author is his ability to pop little things into a story that grab you. They have nothing … Read more
