#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

Two very tall men, both wearing glasses and holding drinks glasses, are smiling and standing in the back garden of a pub. On the left is ’Nathan Burgoine and on the right is Matthew Bright.

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

Emmett looks like he’s going to give himself a heart attack and break a tooth, the way his jaw is clenched... his perfect, square jaw with the neatly trimmed beard that’s more salt than pepper and that would probably feel ecstatically good rubbing against his thighs or between his β€” well, riding down the highway in the middle of a blizzard is probably not the time to think about getting his salad tossed.

I’m revising the queer holiday romcom I wrote last year (working title: Kiss Me, Grumpy) and experimenting with writing from the love interest’s point of view. Greg’s the sunshine to Emmett's grumpy, and he’s… well, maybe I should’ve named him Randy instead of Greg. #1LineWed

I confess to consigning him to an early block, but my goodness it was fun to watch him show his whole ass, as the kids say.

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.

It’s not revealing if I never made a secret of it.

A comic panel of a woman in an apartment looking out a window. In the distance is a city skyline silhouetted against a cloudy sky. The woman is saying: β€œWhat a stupid time to be alive.”

A photo of a pair of loon earrings on a wooden surface. The earrings are a bit blurry but they’re small and hard to focus on.

That is a damn nice bag and I bet having it would make you sleep better at night, which would really make owning it good for your health, when you think about it….
