Stop me if you’re heard this one: Veteran comic Chauncy and social-media star José are the very definition of “opposites attract”. But sparks, and jokes, fly after the two of them embark upon a beautiful romance for the ages...two vastly different ages. Starring Drew Droege and Gabe Gonzalez, The Comedians is a modern queer love story, told through individual stand-up acts. We hear the ups and downs of their journey—from falling hard to failing harder than a botched punchline—in this hilariously relatable play about love, loss, and, above all, "The Laugh".

Desireless. Formless. Empty. These were the three intentions I had in mind when I sat down March of 2024 in the hopes of liking writing again. I had slipped into the bad habit of expectation and perfection every time I sat to write prose, but at a prompt from Beth Kempton's The Way of the Fearless Writer, I decided to start that March--not with the current novel project--but with a haiku. Three simple lines. Easy. With just one haiku, the fire began to return, poetry a welcome asylum from the meandering tyranny of prose. This collection, Blinds, is the best of this poetry, both haiku and ...

Story
For years, single father Toby Tucker has done his best to keep his sensitive young son, Luca, safe from the bigotry of the world. But when Toby marries Alyssa Wright—the granddaughter of a famed televangelist known for his grandiose, Old Testament preaching—he can’t imagine the world of religion, wealth, and hate that he and Luca are about to enter. A trip to the Wright family’s compound in sun-scorched Texas soon turns hellish when Toby realizes that Alyssa and the rest of her brood might have some very strange plans for Toby and his son.

Desireless. Formless. Empty. These were the three intentions I had in mind when I sat down March of 2024 in the hopes of liking writing again. I had slipped into the bad habit of expectation and perfection every time I sat to write prose, but at a prompt from Beth Kempton's The Way of the Fearless Writer, I decided to start that March--not with the current novel project--but with a haiku.

This collection, Blinds, is the best of this poetry, both haiku and ...

The streets have been my home for as long as I can remember. To get by, I use my magic tricks, bringing smiles to the faces of adults and children alike. As a warlock, my powers are limited. Nothing like a witch's magical skills. Basically, I'm a glorified magician as well as a second-class citizen. Fine. It doesn't get me down. I have my cat Fizz and Kylie Minogue's music to keep me going as I dream big. I know there's a better life out there for me.
