It's finally here. I'm rolling out the second book of The River City Chronicles, Down the River, on a weekly basis on my blog starting today. Here's chapter one:
Dante's new series revolves around the mystery of the journal that was discovered in “The Rough Edges” series. a fast-paced, action-packed story that's filled with suspense and surprises... I highly recommend “The Collector.”
I don't even know why I have this image in my collection. It clearly doesn't contain innuendo or double entendres of any kind. #vintage#gay#backdoor#comics
Count Regal Inkwell, the Lord Inquisitor, favoured by the Princess, leaned in for the kiss. For all the rewards which power netted him, it always came with equal if not greater amounts of stress: So much to worry about, so much to fear, so much at stake every day.
This was meant to be his comfort from the stresses of life, to be in the embrace of Mr. Fluffy Pillow, his Majordomo, the highest-ranking servant of his household, and his beloved, his precious, sweet fluffy boy.
And still, the noble worried. Always. He often joked that he wouldn't be himself if he didn't worry.
It wasn't that he couldn't have the pegasus:
Few would deny a powerful stallion such as him anything, let alone some common-born pegasus. It wasn't that he was a married stallion seeking comfort in the embrace of his servant, he was naught if not a dutiful husband, and his wife knew and did not mind the time he spent with the pegasus.
Rather, what worried him at times like these, always, was quite the opposite:
How aware he was of the gulf there was between himself and the winged servant. In power, in age, in all things. It had been years, and still every night did he wonder if one day the other horseshoe would drop, if he'd find out the pegasus was merely following orders, doing his job in spite of himself. — He very genuinely loved the servant and wanted to see him happy. He would never, ever, forgive himself if it came to light that his beloved had given himself to him out of duty, and that he had essentially been forcing himself on the pegasus.
Still they kissed, even as the little pony in the lord-inquisitor's head reprimanded him for this great impropriety. Still they embraced in their secret little rendezvous.
Fluffy, for his part, thought of nothing, and worried about nothing: His master was a great stallion, as lovely on the inside as he was outside. He took great joy and pride in serving a stallion such as Lord Inkwell, and considered himself the luckiest colt alive, that he was also the target of his glorious liege's affections
"From the beginning, I was completely enthralled by this book... the world building is top notch. If you love dark romance, fantasy, queer characters, flawed and morally grey characters... you’ll love this book."
A cock horse is, of course, an old fashioned name for a hobby horse. And a gay cock horse is a phrase you'll never see in a magazine ad today. #vintageAd#gay#horse

#LGBTQ Michiganders like me have been reeling since last week when 7 high school boys stalked, cornered, violently attacked, and hospitalized a #gay couple on the #MichiganState campus.
Shocked? Here are 3 reasons teen anti-#queer violence is surging.👇
"This is the first time I've read something by M.A. Grant. I was thoroughly entertained with this very well-written story. The plot is solid, filled with suspense, excitement, fast-paced action, danger, humor and romance."
Good. The state #oppression of gay people and #LGBTQ+ people in general must be condemned and ended worldwide. Only then can true #freedom be achieved. ✊
Of course, the law did not JUST target gay people. "#Homosexual acts" were illegal so #bisexual people were not off the hook. #Homophobia almost always implies #biphobia and other -phobias.
I recently read (or rather listened) to abook that I want recommend: "Better Living Through Birding: Note from a Black Man in the Natural World"
It is an autobiography of Christian Cooper, a truly fascinating human being. Cooper is (sadly) most famous for being the Central Park birder who was threatened by a racist white woman (and you know probably the rest of that story, so I won't retell it here), but there is much more to his story including of course the #birding (he weaves stories of his hobby and passion throughout the book), but also as a writer for #comics who played a key role in bringing several #LGBTQ characters to the #Marvel universe. And throughout it all, he also explains eloquently the joys and heartbreak of being a #Gay#Black man in a world that is often hostile towards gayness and blackness ---and I can't forget to mention his interesting ideas about nature-based spirituality, but also issue of accumulated trauma and family drama.
