The Straight Road to Kylie by Nico Medina
I started the first morning of 2008 finishing off The Straight Road to Kylie, Nico Medina’s debut novel that came out last spring. It was a good way to start of the new year from a reading perspective.
I admit, I was dubious of this novel for the first few chapters. The story revolves around Jonathan [...]

Meg Cabot - My new favorite Diva!
Category: Writing | tagged fiction, Meg Cabot, NaNoWriMo, pop culture
As some of you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve been particularly quiet about the whole NaNoWriMo experience. The reason I haven’t mentioned it is that I totally bailed on it around day 10. People, I’m a realist, I know when there’s no way in hell I’m gonna finish something. I don’t feel bad [...]

The God Box by Alex Sanchez
I’ve been a fan of Alex Sanchez since Rainbow Boys was published in 2001 and have read every book since. His just published The God Box is his best work yet.

Chris Owen’s Adagio
This was a great book to read as summer draws to a close. Chris Owen’s Adagio is romance and travelogue melded together. In just the span of a week, I’ve been through Australia with stops at Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Woomera, Uluru, Kakadu and other places. This story centers around two Canadian natives, [...]

Chris Owen’s 911
I became a fan of Chris Owen last year when I read Bareback, a romance between two ranch hands. A couple months ago, Will and I picked up several more of Owen’s books and I’ve just completed reading 911. It’s another romance, although this time with a twist. Firefighter Drew and Doctor Scott initially meet, [...]

Douglas Coupland’s JPod
I have been a pretty solid fan of Douglas Coupland’s work over the years, especially novels like Generation X, Microserfs and Polaroids from the Dead. I was excited to finally pick up JPod to revisit the world of high-tech workers through his eyes. Unfortunately, this one fell flat for me.
JPod is the story of [...]
This Writer’s Life - Anticipation
Well, it seems Haworth Press won’t be releasing the Superqueeroes Anthology (featuring my story “Partners“) until the Summer of 2008. Oy. Until then, here is some gratuitous superhero beefcake courtesy of artist Glen Hanson.

Friday Geek Out: Armistead Maupin & Tales of the City
“Mary Anne Singleton was twenty-five years old when she saw San Francisco for the first time.”
That’s how Armistead Maupin kicked off Tales of the City back in 1978 when it was a column in the San Francisco Chronicle. In 1989 the last Tales of the City book came out, titled Sure of You, was released. [...]
