Tome Tender Reviews Diversity-Themed Speculative Fiction Book Tuesday, December 12, 2017 1:56:00 PM
by Duane Simolke
Gay/Lesbian/Bi
The book blog Tome Tender posted a review of my book Taldra: Science Fiction Adventures. That collection includes my book Degranon: A Science Fiction Adventure and its sequel Sons of Taldra: A Science Fiction Adventure. Both works focus on gays, people of color, and strong women.
The review is highly positive, with comments like "Edge-of-your-seat action, scenes that detail the turmoil and terror of an alien attack and an inside look at love and acceptance for humanity’s differences."

Look Away Silence Edward Patterson
Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
