Article in Options RI

Bears have to concern ourselves with the current political reality that affects gay/bi/queer men. It's incredibly important that everyone on this list pay attention to this election, to study current events, to vote on Tuesday, and contact everyone we know – family and friends, regardless of political conviction – in swing states to ensure that they vote, too. Many thanks.

Be sure to look for my article, “The B Word,” in this month's (November) issue of Options RI.

Also, my new fiction anthology, Bear Lust: Hot, Hairy, Heavy Fiction, is out in bookstores now. You can also order through my Website at
http://www.suresha.com/writing/books/bearlust/index.php . I'll be reading at AS220 in Providence and The Alley Bar in Boston in December – details to come.

Spookybear is taking place this weekend in Ptown, hosted by the fantastic Northeast Ursamen, and plenty of Ocean Staters will be there! Happy and safe Hallowe'en to all!

Ahhh-ooooooooooh! [howling at the moon]

allbest, with bearhugs,
Ron
