"The Radiator Burped" is now out in the (FREE PDF!) Fall issue of Strange, Weird, and Wonderful Magazine. I wrote this story after Phil challenged me, when I was whining about not writing, to write a story about "a fairy and a dragon." I was feeling contrary, and neither fairy nor dragon is exactly what you might expect from that phrase ( Read more... )

Read it-cute little story. I notice that in the author bio block they refer to you as a he; mistake on their part due to the not-gender-obvious first name and a story about a gay man, or do you prefer to leave such things ambiguous due to biases in the field?

Mistake on their part, but not something I care much about. Roughly 30% of the time, people with no other context assume I'm a he. I tend to think that I take up an "Abra-shaped" piece of the world, not a boy-shaped or a girl-shaped one, so it doesn't bug me.

It's about fucking time somebody realized the awesomeness of this story :-) Congrats!

Yeah, you've been rooting for it since it was a scrappy little speck of a rough draft. Thanks!
