I’m currently working on “Return to Cooter Crossing,” a story in the southern literary tradition. It explores that matrix of family and community with a modern gay twist. It gets deep into my Bennett Bay world and many of the characters from my other stories stop by to say “hi” and have a glass of sweet tea.

My aim in “Dark Love” was to poke a little fun at the whole paranormal/supernatural genre. I thought substituting semen for blood would make for a good twist. After all, wouldn’t the seed of life have more power than blood? It is certainly more fun to come by. I also wanted my main character to believe that magic was absurd and then have that absurdity bitch slap him.
