First look at my road-trip novel Daydreamers, which publishes next month. Stylish treatment for this excerpt by @EvergreenReview, paired with photography by Bryan Schutmaat. Thanks to old friend @johnghoakes, who published my first novel The Hell Screens, for making this happen.

For 50+ years, FC2's sense of self has always aligned with the LGBTQIA+ community: we reject conformity, we refuse to be quiet, we celebrate complexity, & we've never swayed to the fickleness of culture. 💪 PRIDE WAS A RIOT; pride month = every month.

#TBT that time in the 1990's Jesse Helms *tried* to use some of our books to put an end to the NEA! . Submit to our contests opening on August 15th & join us in our long-standing tradition of bewildering / flustering / pissing off conservative values.
