The Sundered Houses

Poems and stories and a game, oh my!

Welcome to my (queer) world

I’ve been writing in this invented world since I was in high school. The characters who inhabit it feel a lot like family at this point–both in the real and the gay sense.

Someone once asked Ruth Bader Ginsberg about how many women would be ‘enough’ on the Supreme Court, and she (of course) answered nine. Given nine men in the past, ‘enough’ would be nine justices who are women.

How many is ‘enough’ queer characters, and is queer even the right word anymore? (It’s a word that works for me, for the identity I’ve embraced, but it doesn’t work for everyone.) Whatever we on the LGBTQIA2S+ spectrum call ourselves, we occupy the pages of my poems, stories and novels of the Sundered Houses.

Get The March–a collection of poetry penned by some of my characters across generations. It’s available from The Arcanist now via multiple platforms.

Explore the short stories–especially Object Magic. You can read it for free online from Freedom Fiction Journal. In fact, at this particular moment, all of my Sundered Houses stories are free and online.

Play Boláe–a board game my brother designed based on the game I invented for this world. The prototype is available to order. (It’s not queer, it’s just cool.)
