What My Books Are About
What My Books Are About After five books in the Mythical Desires Universe, I’ve realize that I write a certain kind of book. My books aren’t going to be popular with everyone, and that’s okay. I’m only trying to please myself after all. I don’t have the pressure of being a traditionally published author that…

The Jesus Phoenix Hypothesis
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…

Cross-sectional Recommendations: Disabilities & Queerness
Disabilities & Queerness An author friend of mine recently noted (thanks Kharma Kelley) that I read a lot of everything, not just what I write about, or what I enjoy reading.
