  • Hope

    I’ve been avoiding talking about politics on my platform because it’s still so small, and I’m still so new, but it can’t be dodged forever. I’m a mixed-race, bisexual, disabled transman.

  • Midnight Musings

    Executive dysfunction is kicking my ass. That and life are really giving it to me. There’s just been so much going on that I haven’t had a chance to catch my breath, and getting any of it done has been a Sisyphean task. It’s been six years now since my life got upended, longer really…

  • Happy Bi Visibility Day!

    Happy bisexual visibility day! Part of my journey as a writer has been figuring out where my sexuality fits into the grand scheme of things. I don’t mean who I date or anything like that, but how honest did I want to be? Did I want to sit on it, considering the current climate of…

  • Announcement

    I am excited. Why, you ask? Because I’m about to show you something incredibly cool. The idea for the book I’ve been working on is about fifteen years old. Last year I finished the rough draft of the first Guardians of Gaia book, this year I polished it up, and I’m here to show you why you should…
