What if? (What Writing LGBTQ Literature Means to Me)

From Tumblr: Cassandra Clare: October is anti-Bullying month: on hiatuses and...
John Green reblogged this post over on Tumblr, which is a very thoughtful post Cassandra Clare made about bullying and anon hate. I felt compelled to respond: I confess, I don’t know enough about...

Fascinating article on Slash Fandom and Queer Fetishization
Read this post. Do it now. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Admittedly, it’s about fandom, but since a sizable portion of the m/m romance genre seems to have originated in fandom, I think it’s...

E.L. James did not invent BDSM and other discussion topics
Authorly thoughts here…. As I watch the reviews for Acceleration come in, I’m finding it interesting that there are no comments on the reviews. Nor are my books being talked about in general discussion...

An anniversary and a year in review
As of yesterday, it has been one year since I self-published my first book, Inertia. I will be the first to admit that I went into publishing all wrong. I had no idea what it was about. A friend told...

One of those moments in life
Boychild – Six days old (June 2007) Tomorrow will be the six-year anniversary of the day my five-and-a-half-day labor ordeal ended and this little guy entered my life. Just a few minutes ago, I went...

Some clarification on what is offensive about yesterday’s brouhaha
Okay, before anyone comes at me with the old “it’s so-and-so’s site, she can review what she wants” battle cry, misrepresenting what are the issues with this entire debacle over female-bodied-sexuality...

Ups and downs: from knee-jerk anxiety to reasoning and back again.
I’ve been trying to most of the morning to figure out how I truly feel about the GRL2013 debacle. I woke up this morning feeling fairly upbeat, for all that I’ve been quite ill and feeling physically...
