Today's review! Love & Limitations by J. Scott Coatsworth:

Maryann: "Heartbreak, sadness, melancholy, love, generosity and hope here in spades - I highly recommend it."

Ulysses: "Every story is strikingly different, despite shared themes of friendship, loss, and hope. They’re all really good. 5 stars."

Welcome to my weekly Author Spotlight. I’ve asked a bunch of my author friends to answer a set of interview questions, and to share their latest work.

Today: Beck is a non-binary writer of sweet, sexy, LGBTQ+ happily ever afters. Why?...

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1. Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.

2. Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.

3. Donors make a huge profit.

4. Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Somewhere along the way, I lost the thread.

I let the other side frame the debate, making my identity all about sex.

I forgot that my identity as a gay man didn’t rest on sex, or sexuality, and it took a beautiful song to remind me.

I was scanning through my Mastodon feed and ran across a video from 2021, made during the heart of the pandemic – a song called Boys Who Like Boys by an openly gay singer named Eli Lieb. Intrigued, I clicked on the link...

There’s something in the air today. Could it be…yes, I recognize that. It’s the sweet smell of a pending indictment. Federal flavored, I believe. Can’t come soon enough.

Today's queer indie author review: To a Fungus Unknown" by William C. Tracy:

"This series is totally my jam – colonization sci-fi, a weird alien species, and a whiff of mystery... I can’t wait to see where this goes. if you love serious sci-fi, grab this one right now (and the first book if you haven’t read it yet). You won’t be sorry."

I appreciate that this is going to upset some people, and I thought I was too shy to say it, but I prefer #BlueSky over #Mastodon:

Here's why:
