About Me

I'm not really allowed to ramble on anymore. Get drunk one night at a burlesque show and...
Here's what my first edition chronicled:Love. Loss. Memory. Choice. Friendship. Identity. Gender. Sexuality.
In a new collection of literary shorts, eleven new and experienced writers serve up queer in eleven different ways. Their accounts explore the queer world nearly four decades after Stonewall through unique, deeply personal perspectives.
The writers' diverse viewpoints take readers on a journey that spans four generations. Their stories explore, among other themes, the way that attraction can change identity and that new love can uncover the memory of a love lost. The pieces cover moments in time across the range of human experience, including the need to separate, wanderlust, and an extramarital affair.
Intense, often meditative, and embroiled in the power of recollection, this anthology explores many slices of queer culture through themes that will universally resonate with readers.
Queer Shorts features work from: Gayle Lloyd, Jeff Mann, William Reichard, Nairne Holtz, Ethereal, Alan Witchey, S.G. Reichen, Monica Dulberg, F.I. Goldhaber, Jen Burke and Sally Bellerose.

My Interests

I wanna be looked over and bought.

I'd like to meet:


Hot book friends. I'm single and looking, Honey. (Maybe right at you.)
Turn-ons: being held in bed, being brought on trips.
Turn-offs: silverfish, dog-ears, coffee spills, sitting around too long on a shelf.

And YOU. Of course you.
