My interview with Young Adult author Alex Sanchez went up on La Bloga today. Alex’s fresh, matter-of-fact portrayals of American gay teenagers have taken YA LGBT lit into the mainstream and garnered a good heaping of critical praise. He was also a wonderful guy to interview. You can check out the article here.
After a bit of a publishing drought, I just got notified that my short story “In A Wine Phase” was accepted by the quarterly e-zine Wilde Oats. The issue is slated to come out in August.
I wrote “In A Wine Phase” about a year ago. It’s a quick look at a relationship in trouble, a 7-year itch kind of story, and it also deals with the meaning of family for gay men. The story got a pass from another journal with some feedback from the editor, so I took another shot at it recently. Really cool that sometimes when you put the extra work in, it pays off.
All in all, this is a pretty damn exciting time as I also have a column coming out shortly in La Bloga featuring an interview with YA author Alex Sanchez. The article should be out this coming Sunday or the next.
So tonight: a glass of champagne, a cigarette and feet up on the couch.
