Working Out Writer's Block
For anyone who follows me, they'll know that for someone who publishes so regularly and with a new book out in a couple of weeks (that's a plug), writer's block shouldn't be a problem. But sometimes it is. Here's what I do. Whenever I find myself out of ideas or locked in a plot, there are only two ways to proceed. I can either stare at the screen until an idea shits itself out. Like constipation,

Justin Tate's review
of
Teleny, or The Reverse of the Medal:
"Candid gay erotica, first published in 1893 and believed to be written—at least in part—by Oscar Wilde, Teleny is a dream text for us literary historians. Though fiction, and a bit ethereal at that, it is a time machine that transports readers direct"

Right and the sly old fox knew that. In the Humble Lover he seems to enjoy ignoring current mores. Bad boy til the end.

"The Loves of My Life: A Sex Memoir
by Edmund White Review I first noticed this book earlier this year and was immediately intrigued—partly because Edmund was in his 80s, which made me even more curious. I finally took the plunge, and I’m so grateful I d" Read more of this review » |

Deep House: The Gayest Love Story Ever Told:
"Review: Deep House by Jeremy Atherton Lin
I remember reading Gay Bar back in 2022, while in Mexico City. I found it blazing and inspiring—mostly because of how singular and bold Jeremy’s voice felt throughout the book. Oddly, in 2025, as I tried to re" Read more of this review » |

“Bill rolled his eyes. “The MM book with the guys on steroids on the cover, okay? I saw it.” The picture was imprinted in Bill’s memory. How two such bulky individuals could possibly contort their bodies so wildly boggled the mind. They didn’t even look like they could bend over, although he assumed they could.”

“Two caregivers accidentally meet and decide to trade their charges. It was like something from a Hitchcock movie.”

“Pierre was an excellent liar, although the word was much too sweeping to describe his occasional reticence to divulge. Rather than lie outright, he’d fabulate. He’d tell a story or change the subject or say something funny. Like a magician, he’d distract. For years, Bill had watched him nimbly extricate himself from someone else’s demands. It was very entertaining except when the other person was him.”

“He was thinking back to his own encounter with his biological family. His father was barely in the ground when some strangers had shown up thinking they could just take his boy. As if they owned him. As if he’d been out on loan. They kept touching him, fondling him, patting him as if he was a trophy they’d come to claim.”

“They weren’t wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. Each had a life before they’d met with everything that living entailed. Experience is precious but it comes with a price.”
