    I am SO delighted to have a story in this anthology! Mine is called "Lions and Tigers and Girlfriends" and it is totally about queer theatre kids trying to put on a production of The Wizard of Oz on a generation spaceship. 🌈🎭🚀 😃 Can't wait to read the whole antho!

    One more week until these beauties can arrive at your door! Order your copy of the first anthology from so you don't miss out! It's about half original stories and half reprints from some of our great authors.

    ICYMI: I have a new novelette out this week! "Colors of the Immortal Palette" was a difficult story to write, and one that I'm extremely proud of. My creative process is to mash together a lot of shiny ideas, and this is a story that had many inspirations.

    I have a new novelette in today! "I will always remember the view of Paris from his window. Snow, pure and untouched, softens the outline of the buildings and covers the grime of the streets. White, the color of beginnings..."

    This post by Kacen Callender is brilliant. "...sales are not driven by social media presence. They’re driven, always, by the efforts of the publisher, and how much money they’re willing and able to spend for each title."
