Paperback Coming Soon! - Cover Teaser

cover for the mythology fiction book The Blacksmith's Circus by BLA and GB Gabbler, a book for readers of American Gods and The Library at Mount Char or The Just City

The cover art incorporates Alexandre Charles Guillemot's Mars and Venus Surprised by Vulcan, a scene from Greco-Roman myth depicting the result of the god Vulcan's trap -- a trap set to catch his wife and brother in an adulterous act.

Venus seems to feign shame, Vulcan takes in the scene with furrowed brow, and Mars is nothing but a lingering hand in our cover--a synecdoche in their ongoing story. Read more of this blog post »

G.B. Gabbler shared a quote
The Other Side by Jennifer Higgie
“Yet to experience wonder take time and most of lead lives that leave little room for the solitude needed to explore the parts of ourselves that are intangible or inarticulate. We live in a world that insists we explain from the time we are teenagers: What do we want? How might we achieve it? For an artist to teach at graduate level, in many countries they’re not required to have a PhD, a depressing state of affairs: to bureaucratise the arts is to shackle the wild roaming that imaginations are capable of. Why isn’t professional practice as an artist considered a qualification in itself? Over the past century, works of great innovation have emerged in response to swift change. None of it was created because it was a formal requirement. To demand a very particular kind of artistic engagement in order to allow something or someone into the hallowed halls of art history is to deny creativity its often eccentric lifeblood.”

“There’s a name for what I am, Odys. I’m your Automaton. You’re my new Master. When Pepin, my old Master, killed himself, he canceled the bond I shared with him. I became functionless—stagnant—inanimate. I couldn’t change from my object-form until you touched me—until I took your soul. I need a soul to fuel me—to wind me up. We’re like machines— our soul is the rechargeable battery. But I’m far from wires, gears, and bolts.”
G.B. Gabbler, The Automation

“You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
Ray Bradbury

“Guys warning girls not to fall in love with them is so truly douchey that it should have a higher success rate.”
Lena Dunham

“I just don't want to be around people who don't hate everything in their life right now.”
Lena Dunham

“Good wood often warps if no craftsman uses it.”
Jerry Toner, How to Manage Your Slaves by Marcus Sidonius Falx

“It's important that we, as historians or as queer people, don't treat gender and sexuality as two things that use to be entangled but have now been teased apart. There can be a tendency in white queer circles to frame this as a narrative of 'progress' in which we've moved from and outdated past where all queer relationships had to have 'a man and a woman', to a liberated present in which sexuality has been unhooked from gender and queer relationships are characterized by sameness and mutuality. But that narrative doesn't represent everybody's experience. If we frame the entanglement of gender and sexuality as a relic of an unenlightened past, we erase the experiences of many people - often, disproportionately, working-class people and people of colour. There are plenty of examples of individuals, groups and cultures for whom it's no accurate to talk about 'gender' and 'sexuality' as separate concepts or experiences.

...

Where do non-binary peole fit into our existing categories of sexuality? Is gender really the most helpful way to [categorize] the people we're attracted to, or is it time for a new model: one that reflects the fact that knowing someone's gender doesn't always tell you much at all about who they are?”
Kit Heyam, Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender
