• “GAY SEX” does not exist

  

  “GAY SEX” does not exist One bone I have to pick is the idea that there is “gay sex” when it’s all just SEX with people and various body parts either inserting or rubbing them on one another. Say it with me – IT’S SEX! It’s naturalIt’s chemical (let’s do it)It’s logicalHabitual (can we do…

• Identity Journey

  

  Identity Journey In an odd way, finding your readers and discovering what genre you write is a tiny bit like trying to figure out your sexual and/or gender identity. Some authors, if they are lucky enough to win the query-agent-publisher lottery, have a lot of help in this department. However, some of that luck is…

• Influences & Continuity

  

  Influences & Continuity Interesting things about influences, you never quite know where things come from until they show up.

  The Jesus Phoenix Hypothesis In worldbuilding sometimes you use what you have around you to help with the heavy lifting borrowing from myths and legends and building on those. Maybe even twist them a bit to suit your purposes. For my Mythical Desires Universe, I not only borrow from secular myths and legends, I borrow…

• “I’m Happily Delusional!”

  

  If anyone else read the title of this in Lewis Black’s voice, then we have something in common. For whatever reason, certain words always pop up in my head sounding like him. He’s quite hilarious in my opinion, and I’ve enjoyed his comedy specials. But on to why I’m happily delusional. When I first started…
