From a young child, Gordon was called a sissy, girlie, fag, queer, and homo. Getting towel whipped, stomach punched and spit on were part of his world. Being bullied like this made him go into a nice, staid, and stable career in accounting. Gordon never found his writer’s voice until he retired in 2017 from forty years of debits and credits and became a passionate writing machine. Gordon has published work in Whoa Nelly Press, Wingless Dreamer, Two Hawks Quarterly, the Santa Monica College Journals Chronicles and On Going Moments, and Gay Wicked Ways. His 2021 best-selling novella Shipped Off was published as part of the Running Wild Press Novella Anthology Volume 4, Book 1. He self-published his second novel, Fathers and Other Strangers, in 2022. Audiobooks are available for both novels. In 2023 his novels Stretched Love and Harmonic Dissonance were published respectively by Tofu Ink Press and The Shortish Project.Ten of his autobiographical stories are available on the Queer Slam Episode 21, podcast called “Just Gordon.” He participated in the writing and performing of the 2022 film, Queers Across the Years. Additionally, he wrote and performed in Queerly Imparted at the Skylight Theater in Los Angeles as part of the World AIDS Day celebration. In 2023, his play Reflections was a winner at the Region 8 KCACTF-Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada and became of semi-finalist for the National Festival in Washington, D.C.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
