E-book Imminent

Hello there! Behold the cover for my new e-book, designed by the peerless writer/book cover maker Johnny Murdoc. Str8 But Curious is a compendium of my best “straight-ish guy” stories. Most importantly it contains two brand new stories featuring fuckable (but not quite lovable) straight bait. Plus a nonfiction introduction by yours truly! I’m still […]

Backwoods Non-Update Update

So here it is, summer, and I have nothing to report about the state of Backwoods. It’s in book limbo – everything is completed (though I’m sure it could use some editing), but no action is being taken to get it out in the world. I anticipated this. My publisher set the summer release date, […]

The Mall

Repost from old blog, 1/28/2008 Breath shallow, feet taking me to my destination, I would enter the warm light of the bookstore and duck the imagined glare of the clerk.
