Burly Tales: Finally Fairy Tales for the Hirsute and Hefty Gay Man

Been working hard, editing Burly Tales: Finally Fairy Tales for the Hirsute and Hefty Gay Man. I am excited to announce it is pre-orderable from Lethe Press.
 

Burly is chock-full of goodies, with 12 contributors from far and wide—nine stories, one poem, a preface by Matthew Bright and an afterword from Jeff Mann. I owe thanks to publisher Steve Berman for making this all happen and including me on this wild, queer, fairy-tale-land ride. I am honoured to stand with my fellow contributors. What a blast! If this anthology is half as fun to read as it was to work on, Burly should be a hefty amount of entertainment. 

Burly includes my story "Three, to the Swizz'!" In my hopeful piece, set in the (hopefully) not-too-far-flung future, three longtime, goateed friends, Dave, Reece and a big fellow (a bear) named Tom celebrate the end of the pandemic by walking from Gatineau to Ottawa and go bar-hopping at Swizzles, a local bar. 

You can pre-order Burly Tales: Finally Fairy Tales for the Hirsute and Hefty Gay Man here from the Lethe Press site.
