I agree, although I can't think of them all at one time, or in any particular order.

And of course, some people like what other's may not, but a list is a good idea, with those provisos.

Nick Archer is a great writer, writing about families made up of gay adults and gay youth (not having sex with each other).

Other stories on his Archerland website are also excellent. "The Human Condition" and "Along For the Ride" are favorites of mine.

As I said, others will occur to me as time goes by.

Robert Heinlein was one of my earliest influences. So was Madeline L'Engle. But I've also had a great deal of respect for the writing of Chris Claremont.

Recently I've been a fan of Dean Koontz, too.


It's not the wolf you see you should fear, but all the ones he howls with. Don't be afraid of the song, but don't piss off the choir.
