Faking Trademark in Fiction for Comedy Gold
So there is this thing about using trademarked names when you are writing fiction, Gentle Reader. Names like Facebook, or Coke, or (heaven forfend) Disney.

Why Write Sexy? High Heat in Genre Fiction
I’ve written books that fall all across the spectrum. No, not that spectrum. I’m talking about sex scenes here. The 5th Gender, is sexy, Gentle Reader. It has a high heat level. Not all of my books do. They range with regards to how explicit they are. The Finishing School is at one end with […]

Researching Gender Fluidity & Representing it in Fiction
I’ll be honest, Gentle Reader, I wrote The 5th Gender, basically in the space of one week without internet. So while I was writing it. I just let it come… So to speak. But after that, I did a ton of research, as indeed I did for Custard Protocol, San Andreas Shifters & other Tinkered […]
