ANNOUNCEMENT/GIVEAWAY: Innocence and Carnality, by J. Alan Veerkamp
J. Alan Veerkamp has a new MM steampunk book out: Innocence & Carnality. Innocence is his only currency. The gilded cage of propriety where Nathan grew up as a member of the Deilian aristocracy became a true prison when, at fifteen, his homosexuality came to light and created a terrible scandal. His parents see only one way to preserve their reputation amongst the other noble families: fit Nathan with a chastity belt to increase his value to a potential partner and marry him off as soon as possible. The recipient of that prize is Lord Rother Marsh Delaga III. After … Read more

SPACE: Black Holes Will Blow Your Mind
Is there anything stranger in the universe than black holes? These bizarre, gravitational monstrosities don’t only warp space and time; just thinking about them stretches and bends people’s imaginations as well.

We take a look at some of the most astounding characteristics and theoretical possibilities regarding these cosmic oddities. Black Holes Might Have Hair In the 1960s, physicist John Wheeler suggested that black holes … Read more
Dealing with Distraction
Too often I get distracted. I cannot count the number of times I stopped in the middle of a Work in Progress, because I was obsessed with Star Wars, Tokyo Babylon, or Naruto. Those are just the fun distractions. There’s also the serious, real life problems which grab, shake me, and leave me too hurt to create. How do I deal with them? How do I deal with such distractions so I can work? Sometimes I simply can’t. It’s too big, too serious. I have to take a break from my writing, let myself cope. Regardless of how big or … Read more

When Dark Shadows Got Graphic – Boogieman In Lavender
“The fools! Of course there is no book! It is but a shabby lie to hide the truth; that I sleep with the dead during the day and spend my nights prowling for blood!”—-Barnabas Collins, Dark Shadows, issue # 35. I’ve written here before about “Dark Shadows,” the Gothic T.V. soap opera with supernatural themes and a large following in the LGBT community. Those who were around in the early 1970s may remember that there was a comic book version as well. Produced by Gold Key Comics the comic book (we’d call them “Graphic Novels” now) lasted an amazing 35 … Read more
