About this author

Angel Martinez currently lives part time in the hectic sprawl of northern Delaware and full time inside her head. She has one husband, one son, two cats, a love of all things beautiful and a terrible addiction to the consumption of both knowledge and chocolate.

Angel's alter ego writes the all-ages science fiction - Sandra Stixrude.


Charming Euphemism, over at the Gay Science Fiction group, was kind enough to point out the review for me today over at Jessewave:

Gravitational Attraction

Wonderful review from Raine - especially loved this part:

"The bad guy was effective enough for me to want him splattered across the universe- he shouldn’t have touched Isaac that is all I’m saying."

Thank you, Raine!

Vassily the Beautiful (Gay & Lesbian)
1 chapters   —   updated Apr 13, 2012 01:55pm
Description: Vassily Belikov, composer and pampered son of privilege, suffered neurological damage in the accident that killed his father. Resentful of people treating him as an invalid, he lives as a recluse, dependent on his mother. All that changes the day she brings home a new husband with two sons of his own. When deep-space pirates capture Vassily’s mother, he's left to the mercy of his cruel, amoral stepfather. Fighting addiction, fear, and his own physical shortcomings, he's forced to seek out the criminal mastermind Baba Yaga for a crucial piece of equipment. While she agrees to deal with him if he beats his Exoticus addiction, paranoia and mysterious intentions infuse her household. Drawn to her fierce, suspicious youngest son, certain his actions are all carefully measured, Vassily must find the courage to face both his fears and his desires if he expects to survive.
