Hey so when you say GoodReads reviews are not for the authors, why do you directly talk to the authors in your reviews?

His shoulder pads are so massive. Why? So he can look more manly and masculine? Isn’t that gender affirming practice?

Hand wringing is telling me how to write a memoir, then refusing to accept my boundaries the way I laid them out. I get to choose who I share my memories with. Your hiccup is that I didn’t perform for your entertainment. Shame is that the book ended up in your hands. Email me. I will refund you.

I’m that guy who won the Lambda Award for Gay Fiction this year with my novel The Foghorn Echoes. Yes I am under the illusion that I’m some sort of a big deal.
