Albert loves writing more than anything else. He has come to learn that sharing his thoughts and feelings through literature is one of the best ways to heal.

CarlHoliday's stories fall primarily into two classes: sci-fi stories of a distant future where humanity is still plagued with violent warfare and religious bigotry; and, modern stories about characters facing and overcoming significant psychological challenges. Adversity, physical or mental, is a common theme through most of the stories. There is also a endearing quality to a lot of the stories as you see young gay men grow through the troubles they endure. Characters die here.

A reader commented Carlos practices socially engaged storytelling. Not preachy, but raising awareness of issues facing the GLBT community and humanity in general. These are tales grounded in real life, featuring gay men dealing with everyday concerns about family, friends, and relationships. Characters are men who tackle challenges instead of backing away from them. The author’s love of motorcycles and travel and his contempt for social injustice often play a central role in his stories.

Carlos passed away June 16, 2023.

Caz likes stories with happy endings. Although her characters may have sad pasts, or go through hell and back, they always find love and walk into the sunset with their happily ever after.

"The poem is now cleaned
out of power, [...]
Who knows what I meant?
With time, I can guess
that I thought and worked
hard, watched my words,
made them bright as they'd
beam, until I could say
to myself, This is full."
- From 'Poem for George Miles', The Dream Police by Dennis Cooper

Dodger was born in Canada, started school in the UK, attended elementary school in Canada, secondary school in the UK, and high school in Canada, before returning to the UK to serve an apprenticeship. It’s no wonder he’s confused! After moving country eight times in thirty years, Dodger prides himself on his diversity, and this is reflected in his stories with a growing collection from both sides of the Atlantic.
