Point of View: Why Is Everything So Hard?

by
man croucing in corner - deposit photos

It’s been a long year. Starting with the new political regime, everything has felt coarser. Harder. Less stable. Just this fall, we had four different household issues at the same time, each of which should have taken a single visit to resolve. Instead, the vendors had to come back three or four times to get these things taken care of. Sometimes because it was hard to diagnose the problem, and sometimes out of sheer incompetence. And it’s a pattern that repeats in our lives, over and over again. We spend precious time and mental energy tracking all of these things, … Read more

Point of View: Wait, There’s a Zone?

It’s so hard to get into the writing zone these days. I have three active novels, I’m working on and two other short stories I need to complete by March. So there’s plenty to do. Nevertheless, our politics hangs over everything like a miasma, a thick black smoke that chokes out almost everything else. I try to block it out. I do my best not to let it own my life. But it’s always there, lurking in the background, seeping into everything. And in this new world of inflationary pressure and “artificial intelligence” and corporations hell bent on extracting every … Read more

The Reluctant Incubus - Alex Woolfson

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal, Detective, New Adult LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Ulysses Get It On Amazon | Publisher About The Book A hilarious, high-action M/M Buffy the Vampire Slayer—but all grown up, made spicier, and with a scrappy and lovable monster as the hero. Perfect for fans of TJ Klune, David R. Slayton, and K.D. Edwards. I was born an incubus, a literal soul-sucking sex demon. But I’ve deliberately never fed, so I don’t have any powers. Still, that doesn’t stop an arrogant fae prince from blackmailing me into stealing a magical watch from a creepy San Francisco mansion. Turns out, the … Read more

Point of View: tri County Diversity & Clockwork Alchemy

by
Clockwork Alchemy

Mark and I (and M.D. Neu and B.J. and Aaron Sikes) will all be at Clockwork Alchemy in Redwood Shores (just south of San Francisco) from October 24th-26th, and I’ll be running the “bookstore” there, in addition to being on three panels. More about the con: Our theme for 2025 takes advantage of the upcoming Halloween season. Gaslight Fantasy is Steampunk’s more magically-inclined cousin. It’s a subgenre of Historical Fantasy with a setting that is clearly recognizable as the real-world 19th or very early 20th century. It may be a full-on Alternate History where magic exists openly and has affected … Read more
