by
Where Home Lies

QSFer Elizabeth A. Schechter has a new queer fantasy book out, and shares a great guest post with us: Not Where I Thought We’d Be I was going to write a blog post about the eroticism of food. Was being the operative word. I’ve been fighting with it for about a day and a half. The topic that seemed to be so interesting to me when I first thought about it just won’t come out of my head and onto the page. And I finally realized why. There’s something more important that I need to get out of my brain. … Read more

by
Devotion

QSFer Grace R. Duncan stops by the QSF blog today to hang out and discuss her new paranormal book, Devotion. Thank you so much to Scott and the rest of Queer Sci-Fi for letting me stop by today! I’ve given this part of the interview a bit more of a paranormal bent. Hope you enjoy! Are either of you particularly religious? Finley nods. I think we both have a solid faith. Can you tell me a little about it? Tanner: We follow—for the most part—the Roman pantheon. Our patron goddess—and the one who created us—is Diana, goddess of the hunt. … Read more

Jonah Bergan on Star Trek Renegades (or How I Made a Fool of Myself in No Time At All)

by

Jonah Bergan on Star Trek Renegades or How I Made a Fool of Myself in No Time At All by Jonah Bergan Respect is important, and if anyone understands that, it’s the fans of Star Trek. Those who know me know I am respectful of others. They know I am an even tempered man. I am not prone to anger or rather; I am not prone to angry outbursts. I’ve worked with the public for far too long to let one random opinion or another rankle me, and I’m a writer, so I have plenty of constructive outlets for many … Read more

Jonah Bergan bw

It’s a fair question for those who feel that anyone’s sexuality is an aberration or distraction from their true being. I for one don’t feel that is the case, but in this age where the mere mention of a difference between us is held up as an example of someone’s political agenda, I understand how it could seem to be a part of that and how, in order to protest the … Read more
