I fled Thatcher’s England in the late 1980ies, and have lived in the American Midwest since then. Frying pan and fire come to mind. Back in the UK, I ran a record store (ah vinyl!). Since coming to America, I've taught college, edited at a small publishing house, researched and written background reports, and been a professional thank you letter writer.

For 2011, Torquere's authors have chosen the theme "Getting Better" in honor of the It Gets Better project, which helps LGBT youth understand th... read more »

“Die in winter woods," roared Tarin, as if it were his most
fervent wish. He was losing it again. Since being caught, he
had seen a boy with no balls or toes, a finger had been in his
ass twice, he'd been cooked, made to wear clothes, walked on
winter-lake stuff, wasted his gift, was going to have his tooth
pulled out and—scat—and he was being laughed at.”
Syd McGinley, Out of the Woods

“I am shocked both that I hurt him and that my shoe hit him, because I do throw like the proverbial girl. I hurl stuff around secure in the knowledge I’ll miss my target.”
Syd McGinley, Garnet: A Season In Hell

“What the Lady was happening? The man had his mouth
smashing on Tarin's, and his tongue was shoving at Tarin's
tongue. Tarin tried to scream. The men did eat boys. It wasn't
just a scary fire-rumor. He bucked his body and writhed. He
was going to be consumed alive!
"Lady!" he bawled like a little kid.
It sort of worked. The man moved his mouth and laughed.
"Now, no fussing. I won't hurt you if you're a good boy."
"Don't eat me," moaned Tarin. He was too scared to be
brave. This was why no boys ever escaped from the Before
Times buildings. The men ate them! No wonder men were so
sleek and strong. They had boy meat to get them through the
winter.”
Syd McGinley, Out of the Woods
