I’m first and foremost a proud genre writer. My first “break” as a writer was in fiction, when my young adult urban fantasy series, Immortal Testimonies, was published by Bold Strokes Books. My work as a dramatist is just as fantastical. I believe fantasy, horror, and science fiction are great tools to help us examine the world, so all my work has a tinge of the unreal…or what we believe to be unreal. I basically view everything on stage as a ghost, demon, angel, memory, or dream that characters use to access hidden parts of themselves. Whether these agents turn out to be real or figments of a character’s imagination, they cause change, they help. And, as a gay man, I always focus on LGBT characters and stories. We so often see fantasy used as a metaphor for the queer experience, but I like to see them coexist instead of being a stand-in for each other.
