'Nathan Burgoine grew up a reader and studied literature in university while making a living as a bookseller. His first published short story was "Heart" in the collection Fool for Love: New Gay Fiction. Since then, he has had dozens of short stories published, and despite being "the tall queer guy who writes mosly shorter queer fictions" novels have happened between the novellas and short stories.

A cat lover, 'Nathan managed to fall in love and marry Daniel, who is a confirmed dog person. Their ongoing "cat or dog?" détente ended with the rescue and adoption of huskies. They live in Ottawa, Canada, where socialized health care and gay marriage have yet to cause the sky to cave in.

STA Saturday — “Wolf in the Fold”

Hey all! It’s Saturday, and I’ve been revisiting TOS-era episodes of Star Trek every week in search of a scenario seed or two or three for Star Trek Adventures as put out by Modiphius, with the hope they’ll be useful for your own games (or Captain’s Log, which is how I’ve organized them), and today we’re dealing with a noncorporeal serial killer.

This is definitely an episode that’s atmospheric, th

Ultimately, I liked this, but I think it had two things working against it from the get-go. One, I struggle with Robert Petkoff's performance (especially when he does women's voices); and, two, there was no way to maintain narrative tension really be ...more
'Nathan Burgoine is 52% done with Drastic Measures: I knew they'd eventually show "Kirk as kid present during this awful event" but man oh man did I not need "Kirk is smarter/better/faster/cleverer than everyone else and that's how they find out what Kodos looks like!" as a plot point.

Georgiou and Lorca are present. Let them shine.

I did end up quite liking this for the reasons it's most known for: a queer lens on a post apocalyptic story. I'm a sucker for a hurt/comfort, and this one begins there, and while I got frustrated with Andrew's refusal to tell the whole truth (even t ...more

I really enjoyed this collection as a whole—way, way, way more hits than not.

Olivia Dade's "A Solstice Kiss" was a particular favourite, and honestly one of my favourite romances I've read all year, let alone in a short form.

“My bond with Luc and Anders is holy," I said. "It's just, y'know, holy in a gay threesome sort of way.”
― Nathan Burgoine, Erotica Exotica: Tales of Sex, Magic, and the Supernatural

“The more words you use, the more untruths sneak in.”
― Nathan Burgoine, Triad Blood

“It didn’t feel right to die in summer. Autumn maybe. Or winter. Winter was for dying. Death shouldn’t have a UV rating.”
― Nathan Burgoine, In Memoriam

“Look, I've been doing this a long time. If I'm honest with you, then yes. The Families could have done both. The car thing is absolutely their style, like you said."

Luc frowned. "But you don't think they did it."

David shook his head. "No. Because you're alive. The Families wouldn't screw up twice." He left, closing the door behind him.

"If that was supposed to make me feel better," Curtis said, "it needed way more puppies. Or something from the chocolate family.”
― Nathan Burgoine, Triad Blood

“For every evil under the sun,
There is a remedy, or there is none.
If there be one, try and find it;
If there be none, never mind it.”
