Not sure if I have the discipline but gonna attempt to post something Some Like It Hot related every (most) days in the run up to publication of Nobody’s Perfect: The Making of Some Like It Hot at the end of August. It’s been a real labour of love and appreciate any support you can give the project!

I am excited to be a part of Royal Oak Pride's Queer Lit Panel on Saturday the 25th at 3:00pm at the Royal Oak Farmers Market, an exciting discussion with three incredible authors: Lisa Peers, Rose Bousamra, and Caroline Huntoon! I hope you’ll join us for the panel and the book signing right after.

Whilst logging Heartstopper Forever on Letterboxd, I learned its director has a multifaceted career that includes a charming early stint directing gay porn. Titles include Dr. Jerkoff and Mr. Hard and The Hole, a parody of The Ring about a tape that turns you gay after seven days.
