This past month I had a short story published in the online literary journal Oyster River Pages. It's about paleolithic gay people finding each other in a hostile, prehistoric world. And it's got a HEA of course! 🏳️‍🌈

Check it out here. It's a quick read:

We've been persevering in places where they don't want us for over 14,000 years. 🏳️‍🌈

Here's my new #gay #shortstory set in the paleolithic and published today in @oysterriverpages.bsky.social

I've been published!

I have a #shortstory in the new issue of online literary journal @oysterriverpages.bsky.social.

It's super gay 🏳️‍🌈, set 14,000 years in the deep past 🗿, and tells a romantic story of found family ❤️.

I'm working on a #historicalfiction novel based in the Roman empire (2nd century) and having to wrestle with 1) accurately portraying ancient sexual mores and 2) keeping the novel appealing/sexy to modern readers. Boy howdy did the Romans think of and do 🥒🍩🍑 things differently. 1/2 #amwriting

Anyone know any anthologies or journals looking for queer 🏳️‍🌈 horror 💀 or sci-fi 🚀 short stories? I got a few ready for submission.

This morning I typed the last sentence of my next novel!

It’s ancient Roman #historicalfiction and I now have a full first draft. 🥳

Time to get out the editing pen and get it ready for beta readers!
