news: “We Live Without a Future and other stories” released!
I’m delighted to announce the release of my collection We Live Without a Future and other stories! These stories all deal in literary figures in one way or another – whether authors or characters, all of them queer – and ghosts often flit through the words, looking for truth or peace.
Lord Byron visits Verona on his travels through Italy, and encounters a gorgeous ghost. A long-dead author seeks t

“Hilary took a moment to rest careful fingertips against his cheek, reliving the sense–memory of Tom’s lips against his skin. He thought that, if he were especially careful with it, if he nurtured it and didn’t wear it out, that moment might see him through decades of loneliness.”

“Eudora Welty singles out for praise Austen's "habit of seeing both sides of her own subject - of seeing it indeed in the round". ... Both men and women can be vain about their appearances, selfish about money, overawed by rank, and limited by parochialism; both men and women can function capably, think profoundly, feel deeply, create imaginatively, laugh wittily, and love faithfully. Without vindicating the rights of anyone directly, Austen posits a humanism far ahead of her time. "How really modern she is, after all," Welty concludes of Austen.”

I haven't read that title, though I have read her Between Men: English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire. I do think she's worth reading! And, no, I haven't seen more than a glimpse of Henry James so far, but will keep an eye out as I tackle my towering TBR piles.
Did you ever read Epistemology of the Closet? I remember I 'decided not to', although the details of why escape me. Interested because of Henry James. (You haven't seen anything on Henry James in your gay 19thC travels, have you? worth recommending?)

It was awesome to meet you, Jo - and I can't even tell you how honoured I feel that you liked Butterfly Hunter... Well, I can't tell you without getting embarrassingly fan-girly, anyway! So I'll save you from that. :-)
I'm looking forward to reading your Barging In. Narrow boats FTW! :-D
