I’m back on WROTE!
MEDIA ALERT! I sat down with Vance and Baz to talk about Slashed and Mashed, mythology, diversity in queer lit, cultural appropriation and a whole bunch of other things. Those two guys run an amazing podcast, which is now up to episode 243. Pretty darn impressive. They both have an awesome sense of humor too.
Yes, It’s release day for my very first short story anthology!
Seven gayly subverted stories from around the world in one neon pink-slashed collection.
Get into your comfies, set your cell on vibrate, and curl up with it on the surface of your choice. My preference is our living room sofa next to the radiator. Our cat Chloë likes that too.

Hey folks!
I’ve been neglecting my website a bit as I haven’t had any big, shiny news to share in a little while. Still, it helps to keep this place alive and breathing. I thought I’d share some of the work I’ve been doing offline, and online elsewhere, come to think of it.
Telemachus and His Mother’s Suitors
Hey folks! Continuing with my retold myth project for 2018, I’m posting my next recently completed story: “Telemachus and His Mother’s Suitors.”
I remember reading The Odyssey in high school and being much more enchanted and engrossed than I had been with its partner required text The Iliad. I liked The Iliad for its style and language, the interplay between gods and mortals, and some bits of drama (the Achilles vs. Agammemnon storyline stayed with me the most). But you’ve got to admit: the battle scene passages of “he smote him, and he smote him…” go on and on and are mind-numbing. For me, they kind of took away from the more interesting dynamics between the characters.
