QLP Live Substack
(It's 2026, but I'm catching up on 2025 stuff after experiencing the hallucinatory magic of the Réveillon in Rio de Janiero 🇧🇷) Back in September, I had a great talk with Jerry Portwood of the Queer Love Project Substack Live. We discussed the launch of AFTERLIFE OF A KEPT BOY,…
Thank you queer lovers 🫶🏽
Read from s*x workers in the literary space, not just about them (“Trick Lit”).
What’s kept me together this year are those allies who agree that our voices matter, and that maybe even I have a place in the canon 📚

NYRS Launch @ Book Row

Felice Picano’s AMBIDEXTROUS reviewed
A twink-death-forward review of my memoir AFTERLIFE OF A KEPT BOY appears in Issue 005 of The Whitney Review of New Writing. I also appear in the issue as a contributor, reviewing a memoir by the late Felice Picano, whose death in March came while we were…
You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself for polishing Torres’ balls like this. Him being an AIPAC shill instead of representing his Bx district is an ongoing betrayal of his constituents. No mention of his spotty record or his controversies in all those words.

Yea the state is crumbling, but I’ve got a 🏳️🌈, s*X affirming memoir to launch in 1 MONTH! Pre-order: bit.ly/AfterKept
The gorg @otroedgargomez.bsky.social called it “…nothing short of a masterpiece. I swear this book activated something ancient and homosexual in me.” 🙈
A starry field, an intrusive crow over the full text of Picano’s blurb. Starts: “An engrossing read, immediate, engrossing, frank and at times way out there…”
Heyyyy just got this blurb from #queerlit legend Felice Picano. His 1979 thriller the Lure was the first novel I read w a nuanced 🏳️🌈protagonist, Noel, the titular lure.
FP’s kind words are for my SW memoir, AFTERLIFE OF A KEPT BOY from C&R Press
