Bizarro author Eric Mays’ interview with me went up on The Authors Speak website!! This was a great opportunity to get the word out about my projects and toss back and forth our perspectives on the publishing industry, the state of LGBT fiction, retold fairy tales and dreams of turning books into musicals.
What does “bizarro author” mean you might ask? Well, bizarro fiction has emerged as a specialized genre described delightfully by its proponents as “the genre of the weird,” created by a group of small press publishers in response to the demand for good weird fiction, and “Franz Kafka meets John Waters.” Having read Eric Mays’ “Naked Metamorphosis,” I’d call it urban fantasy meets “The Evil Dead” series. I haven’t read much bizarro, but the titles are pretty damn brilliant– Cameron Pierce’s “The Ass Goblins of Auschwitz” for example.
So I’ve been basking in a little sun-shower of publicity and trying to get back to work on revising my latest manuscript. Wish I could say it was cruising along but between work and social obligations plus a bit of a mental gnarl, it’s barely inching along.
Next week, my blog goes dark while my partner and I entertain house guests. In July, hard core writing starts anew, I promise.
I am the first time on this site and am really enthusiastic about and so many good articles. I think it’s just very good.
