A New Chapter of Our Community
It's been a long time since I posted meaningful updates to this portion of the web site. Starting today, I have renamed it to Community, as a way to foster growth for the communities of book readers, queer folks and kinky and leather communities that are part of How to Kill a Superhero.
The last four years have been quite complex for me, and that's why there is a big gap in updates. But as we head into 2026, I am happy to announce some big changes and expansions to this space.
I’m also re-igniting this blog. The last few years were… complicated. Platforms changed. I changed. And in that flux, this space got quiet.
Key Changes and Expansions
New blog posts on topics of community advocacy. My work with the How to Kill a Superhero book series as an artist and author also has an advocacy component, and I will be sharing new essays and news articles that help us build community, play safe, and enjoy literature of all kinds.\
A Community-Led Second Edition of How to Kill a Superhero. The How to Kill a Superhero saga is being reborn through a brand-new Second Edition featuring new covers, author introductions and more. I’ll be organizing a fundraising campaign to make it happen, with opportunities for supporters to help shape the release—think collector’s editions, signed copies, exclusive art, and behind-the-scenes insights into how these books came to life. Look for updates in this blog.
New posts by members of the community. You know that in the past I have hosted several podcasts about sex positivity, the literary arts and the intersection of cosplay and queer kink culture. I plan to bring new voices into the blog to tell their own coming out stories, the way they move through personal growth, and methods in which they build communities around the world.
New posts about safe spaces & advocacy: The way combat marginalization and erasure is through education and knowledge. I know that people nowadays don't want to read as much as they used to, but we will go against the grain so that we leave a written record of the work we are doing to build things out.
Your Call To Action Is Now
Here's where you come in. Using my contact page, please tell me how you want to play a part. Here's some questions to stimulate your mind:
What podcasts, books and Youtube channels do you recommend nowadays for other folks in the community
What are topics of safety that are currently being overlooked?
How do you interpret the way that new generations embrace sex positivity and kink?
What book authors would you like to see me invite to share space in this section of the web site?
What are your reactions to big events in our community like MIR, IML, Darklands?
What are the best parts of being a queer book reader? Does being a queer book reader come with any risk? Where do you find community with other book lovers?
These are just a few suggestions. If you have your own pitch for building community, send me a note.
