Wow, that sure was a year, huh. It's easy to say the year was a dumpster fire and move on. The pandemic ripped through all of our lives and tossed our carefully laid plans for the year into the air like so much poisonous confetti. It was a year of grief - of accepting again… Continue reading 2020
Hard to believe that I had a book come out this month, huh? Let alone the last book in a trilogy. This month has been a year in and of itself: plague, civil unrest, a reckoning in the SFF sphere, and so many other things. Kinda makes you feel like a little book birthday isn't… Continue reading A Trilogy, Complete
In celebration - and anticipation - of the third and final book in the Chronicles of Ghadid series, I'm sharing an in-world novella that takes place sometime during the events of the second book, The Impossible Contract. That said, if you haven't read The Impossible Contract: stop. Do not pass go. Do not progress forward.… Continue reading The Siege of Ghadid: Final Wave

Welcome to my ongoing and - hopefully - regularly updated list of queer adult science-fiction and fantasy books* published in 2020! (*Since novellas are making a big comeback these days, and a lot of the novellas we've seen have been decidedly queer, I'm including them along with full-length novels.) I'd intended to wait until the… Continue reading 2020 Queer Adult Science Fiction & Fantasy Books
It's been pretty quiet on here, huh. Probably because it's been pretty quiet outside of here, too. I've been kind of drifting for a bit, occasionally dipping my toes back in to see how the water feels, if this is where I want to jump in and dive deep and see just how long I… Continue reading The State of the Doore
The decade ends in a little less than two weeks, an arbitrary endpoint to an extraordinary time. I went from being afraid I would never figure out what I Wanted To Be When I Grew Up (TM) to being exactly where I've always wanted to be - with sufficient wiggle room for growth.
