Huge Halloween Giveaway! (CLOSED)

So I had been planning on writing a free, slightly creepy story and putting it up (for free!) on Halloween to celebrate my favorite non-religious holiday.

However ... I ran into, shall we say, some problems with that plan.

Since I've been meaning to do a ginormous give away and I figured Halloween would be as good a time as any to do it. 

As witnessed by this very blurry photo, taken far too early in the morning, I will be giving away real paper and ink copies of:

Let's Talk Sex: Gay Erotic Comics: Dale Lazarov

A while back Dale Lazarov started following me on Twitter. At first I didn't really notice, a lot of people follow me on Twitter and for the most part usually I can't really figure out why. Then Dale posted a link to his gay erotic comics and I decided to take a look.

The first thing I noticed was Dale and the arts he works with write about bears, big hairy guys having lots of explicit, sometimes piggy sex. The second thing I noticed was there was no dialog in the comics the stories being tol...

"making the whole world LGBTQA is unrealistic" or why I find this common writing wisdom to be false

A rule of thumb for writing LGBTQA characters or fiction whether you write romance, literary fiction or fan fiction seems to be you can't make the whole world queer.

One or two queer people is great. That's why we are here after all. The main couple will be queer, maybe some close friends but more than that and it becomes unrealistic. The whole world after all isn't LGBTQA.

I've seen making an entire cast of characters, or the majority of characters queer described as utopian, unrealistic, anno...

A Writerly Update: paperback novels and the apocalypse

I had a really busy Friday, with a number of meetings one of which ran long, a paper to rewrite and then I inspected over thirty-four apartments in the evening.

Oh and Like Fire Through Bone came out. Yay! It's only been about twenty four hours and I've already gotten at least one positive review that I know of so fingers crossed.


I also had a great conversation about tags and warnings recently and should say in the interest of full disclosure that Like Fire Through Bone has some stuff which sh...
