New novel, April 16
My newest LGBTQ novel, THE MIRACULOUS LIFE OF RUPERT ROCKET, is publishing in a few weeks, and it's currently available for preorder at major online booksellers (including my publisher, rebelsatori.com).

“There are still so many Americans who think they don’t know any gay people. That makes it especially vital for us entertainers to do it. The only issue is that this is not just my secret anymore. If I come out, you’re inevitably going to come out, too.”

I saw the foreword by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and I was impressed that I was reading a new edition, but I was not that impressed with the writing. The overall structure is a series of episodes with different settings and characters, but the author kill ...more |

“Rupert stood there for a moment. He took inventory of what sort of life he was stepping back into. His friends were still there, except for Dorian. His apartment was still there, Danny said. His job was gone, according to Arthur and Hakim. And he had been just an observer from the sidelines for more than a half a year, trying every day to entertain and manipulate the guards and other prisoners into leaving him alone and not hassling him. He realized he had become accustomed to seeing everyone and every new environment he entered as a potential threat.”

“Clarissa shuffled toward the ellipse that framed the nighttime view of the Earth. They seemed to be passing over China, but then a dark shadow broke the familiar coastline and then completely obscured it. Her body became taut and her reflexes quick.

“After ten minutes with no young people in gray coveralls with weapons entering, Shonda tried to blend in more, as if she were shopping. She wandered down the aisles trying to look indecisive for almost an hour. She found the extreme heights of cakes and breads possible at such a low gravity engaging for a few minutes. Several unmarked bins full of strange produce that could have been grains or nuts kept her attention for a few more.”

“When you look at it from the big picture,” Arthur said, “your life isn’t that different from mine. I’ve had my ups and downs, my victories and disappointments too. Normal is overrated.”
