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

Five Stars for Skythane from Anne Barwell

by
Skythane

More Skythane reviews are rolling in: The great Anne Barwell gives Skythane five stars: “I love science fiction and have been reading it for years, and I think Skythane is a great addition to the genre. The world building is detailed, not just with the descriptions of the world, but in its rich history. I felt as though I was stepping into a fully formed world when I began reading… Although Skythane gives them a satisfying HFN, and brings this part of the story to a close, it is far from over, and I really hope there will be a … Read more

Point of View: Informed and Overwhelmed

by
Scott

Have you ever gone to a really good con or retreat, and when it’s over, your brain is so stuffed full of information that you think it’s gonna burst? I just got back from the 2017 Dreamspinner Retreat. It was an amazing experience – I can still see the look of stunned amazement on Elizabeth’s face when she was presented with this beautiful painting by Paul Richmond celebrating how her vision for Dreamspinner rippled through the queer romance world: And the networking was fantastic, not to mention just having the chance to hang with old friends and make new ones. … Read more
