We do not care:
🤷🏿‍♂️ what pronouns you use

We do care if you:
🇨🇦 are decent

🇨🇦 listen more than you talk

The caving in by elite universities and the detailed level of complicity even shocks me.

Charles Rice-Gonzalez, Walter R. Holland, Jenifer Levin, and RBF co-founder Perry Brass each provided moving testimony. I spoke briefly at the end about Felice's mentorship of ReQueered Tales these past six years.

At 5 pm at Rainbow Book Fair, there was a tribute to Felice Picano, one of ReQueered Tales authors and a man who became one of our greatest supporters, mentors and personal friend. Very well attended, each speaker read from some of Felice's work as well as sharing personal reminiscences.

ReQueered Tales Alexander Inglis and Gary Zebrun (latest fiction is HART ISLAND).

ReQueered Tales Alexander Inglis and legendary Vincent Virga (1980 gay gothic romance GAYWYCK is being reissued in a few weeks by us).

Lawrence Schimel, author, translator, all round easy on the eyes, sat opposite the ReQueered Tales booth. He's every bit as lovely as his smile here.

We had some great guests visit the booth: Gary Zebrun dropped by, legendary Vincent Virga sat with us a while and Lawrence Schimel sat opposite (doing very brisk business I might add).

What a blast Rainbow Book Fair was this past Saturday May 10 in New York's LGBT Community Center! I was able to meet and connect with a number of folks, as well as readers and authors, sell some books and soak up the atmosphere.

Cuffed to be speaking at the Felice Picano tribute at Rainbow Book Fair in New York this weekend May 10 at 5 pm. See us at RM 301 Table 19.

Heads to Rainbow Book Fair in New York Sat May 10 noon to 6 pm RM 301 Table 19. Come visit and buy our books!

LGBTQI+ version as of Dec 19 2024

Revised LGB version as of Jan 24 2025

And here is the update language "Before You Go" which removes all mention of trans issues.

LGB revision Jan 24 2025 removing trans, QI+ from LGB

LGBTQI+ version from Dec 19 2024

Be very, very afraid. The erasure of Queer rights in the US is systematically underway. The US State Dept website for traveller assistance has removed all reference to trans/LGBTQI downsizing to LGB and burying the link at the bottom of the list.

See Dec 19 snapshot and today.

No idea. I'm new here too.

This was an enormous pleasure: chatting with Jeffrey Canton and Jeffrey Round about writers who were active in the critical AIDS plague years 1980-1995, and a few who also survived. Video of the chat below.

Something Inside: Conversations with Gay Fiction Writers a book by Philip Gambone and Robert Giard In the late-20th century, gay literature had earned a place at the British and American literary tables, spawning its own constellation of important writers and winning a dedicated audience. This coll...

American readers can find the book at our US Bookshop site:

Others through special order at your local indie bookshop or, of course, Amazon. Ebook, too! Kobo, Apple, Nook, et al.

What better introduction than Philip Gabone's wonderful set of newspaper interviews from the early 1990s with gay fiction writers, famous then and some more famous now, in engaging, fascinating portraits. E-book or print, with a new introduction by the author/interviewer for the 2022 release.

I am Alexander Inglis, of Toronto, and I am a founding partner of ReQueered Tales, a publisher established in 2019 to reissue outstanding queer fiction., mainly in mystery/thriller, general/literary, sci-fi/fantasy and a smattering of non-fiction. The focus is "Our Stories in Our Own Words".

Sometimes social media abandons me, sometimes hackers take it away, sometimes the hackers are billionaires. So, please welcome me to this "new" platform.
