#Queer writer of #YA and speculative fiction. Expect lots of Star Trek references. Failing to meet the demands of capitalism since 1969. Can I pet your dog? https://linktr.ee/rickerje and https://ko-fi.com/jeffreyricker

Hard to believe itβs been eight (!) years since I went to Nottingham for a writing retreat and book festival (and hung out with these twoβthatβs @nathanburgoine.bsky.social and Matthew Bright of @inkspiraldesign.bsky.social btw). I wrote about it here: jeffrey-ricker.com/creative-jolt/ #tbt

Iβm revising the queer holiday romcom I wrote last year (working title: Kiss Me, Grumpy) and experimenting with writing from the love interestβs point of view. Gregβs the sunshine to Emmett's grumpy, and heβsβ¦ well, maybe I shouldβve named him Randy instead of Greg. #1LineWed

On my drive to work today through Forest Park, I passed a flock of birds I assumed at first were Canada geese, but when I got closer were revealed to be wild turkeys. Even in a park in the middle of the city, there can still be wildness.
