“Frank Lightning takes center stage right now to mash up literature's most famous resurrected corpse with Old West witchery, arcane traveling sideshows, and the classic journey of retribution turned completely on its ear in a totally novel way.”

Happy #FridayReads, hermano! I always feel "seen" when one of my alumni magazines covers my writing life. This month, UCLA Alumni Magazine gave a shout out to my short-story collection, My Chicano Heart (@unvpress.bsky.social), for Valentine's Day.

“It was the truth and there was no denying it. Jeremy Keller was being followed. At first he didn’t quite believe it. Who gets followed in real life?” Welcome to Jeremy’s world: New York City at the end of the 20th century. Yes, Jeremy is being followed, but he doesn’t mind. He is, after all, destined for great things. A little being followed is to be expected. And no, he doesn’t know why he’s being followed. And his job is nothing to brag about either. And a certain police detective has it in for him. And the love of his life doesn’t know he exists. And he thinks he’s responsible for the death of an innocent man. And his rent is late. And he lost the mysterious envelope that just might have the answers he’s looking for. But at least he’s being followed. Not everyone can say that. But then, not everyone is destined for great things. Paperback $9.99 from Amazon Kindle $2.99 from Amazon Paperback from Bookshop “There are a million laughs in the big city…wonderfully comic…a page-turner…Stein has a keen eye for the details of our cultural landscape. And he sprinkles his scenes with deadpan one-liners and cultural reference points…insightful tweaking of city living and modern times.” —Philadelphia Inquirer (full review below)
Getting my tax info ready and I see that three people have bought my novel LOST in the last few months. I'm betting we can get that number up to five by spring.
“Wonderfully comic.”

Hey Gabino, happy Friday!!
I wanted to plug my square shop again because I learned a new gift wrapping skill and wouldn't everyone like their dark queer adult fantasy books in aesthetic wrapping?

Thanks, Gabino!
I’m still working out issues with getting all my epubs up on Amazon, but cool people buy books wherever the hell they like, including ebooks, so screw those guys and their restrictive, esoteric ebook formatting guidelines. Get a haunted house book your way!
