“Alternaqueer lit publishing was drowning, with publishers either going under or going straight. And then Suspect Thoughts Press dove in, like a hunky savior in shiny swim trunks, and wrestled underground queer lit to shore, before administering the sloppy wet kiss of life. In the past few years, Suspect Thoughts has gone from an obscure webzine to a publishing powerhouse. More than anything Suspect Thoughts has put playfulness and risk-taking back into queer publishing.” —other

I'm the author of the short fiction collection, Johnny Was & Other Tall Tales.

“Hopeless romantics and hardened perverts, beware. Greg Wharton’s spare but lyrical accounts of love gone—where else but wrong?—will wring your heart dry. His characters yearn and fuck and fuck up among the ruins that Eros has made of Everyman’s suburbs, schools, parks, highways, and motels. Reading these stories, you may forget what the difference is between laughter and tears; arousal and regret.” —Patrick Califia
