Really seemed to get this story, much to my delight. Solstice hasn’t been everyone’s cup of tea—it’s a sci-fi thriller involving alternate universes, dueling AI threats, Roko’s basilisk, and of course…a trans heroine. But this reader really liked it. “Thought provoking ideas…I loved it all…begs for a sequel,” wrote this reader. Made my day!

This Machine Kills Fascists
That’s the sticker Woody Guthrie had on his guitar. I feel I should add that to the cover of my books.
Conservative War on Trans People

Freudian Slip
I thought I had entitled episode 27 of Transfiguration “No Good Deed Goes Unpunished”. Turns out I wrote “No Good Dead Goes Unpunished”. I like it. Think I’ll leave it.

Fiction and True life
While perusing the Femulate blog the other day, I came across a purportedly true story that reminded me very much of the plot of my book, Influence: A Transgender Tale. It’s always cool to see such a convergence between my fiction and the real world (although I would not want Devil’s Due or Solstice toContinue reading “Fiction and True life”
