This is my favortie musical in this history of the world and I have been waiting since 1984 to hear two men sing this song.  This is John Barrowman and Daniel Boys in concert earlier this year.  Good stuff.

One more review of this story posted at Jenre's Well Read blog just in time for the Solstice.  Hers is another site with lots of thoughtful reviews of m/m romance.  Take a look.

Wishing you the best on the Winter Solstice.

Yikes. A tough review of "The White Stag" from Tam at Tam's Reads :

"Joshua met Jude (a Senator's son) at a grief support group for those who lost people in 9-11. They eventually hook up but Joshua won't commit because Jude is an atheist and Joshua can't be with someone who doesn't believe in God. They remain friends though and he's invited to the fancy Christmas party. Can they work out their differences? I had issues with this book, well with Joshua I guess because I'm an atheist and I...

I recently received word that one of my stories ("Ships That Pass") will be included in the upcoming anthology I Do Two! (MLR Press, 2010)

My story is a dark, but ultimately hopeful piece. Two gay men, bo...

Happy Solstice to everyone. I have a Solstice-themed short story available in e-formats from Dreamspinner Press. The story's called "The White Stag." It's about different flavors of faith.

Jude Balder, the son of a U.S. Senator and a well-known artist in his own right, is everything Joshua has ever wanted, except for the wh...

Like hundreds of thousands of other people, I saw The Twilight Saga: New Moon over the weekend. I went with my boyfriend and a lesbian friend of ours. Admittedly we were not the target audience, our party conspicuously lacking in the teen straight girl demographic. But then, the $517 Million worldwide gross seems to indicate that some of the rest of us are ponying up our $10 to dream with the kids from Forks.

As we were leaving I stood off to one side listening to the other patrons flooding...

So the Gators did not pull it off. Around here in Gainesville the mood is likely to be subdued. Some of my moderate Gator friends posted "you fought the good fight" comments on Facebook last night, but the die-hards have said nothing. It is Ragnarok. It is the end of an era and sadly, a heart-breaking defeat for Tebow's rabid disciples. He inspires the kind of...
