    Ian Philips's Interests
Generalreading for pleasure (I don't get to do that much anymore since I read for my work with Suspect Thoughts and our other imprints--though every now and then I rebel and pick up the fattest book--Imajica, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, Don Quixote, one of the Harry Potter books--and lie down in bed for a whole weekend); gardening (I know I'm turning into Miss Marple; but I can't knit or solve a crime to save my life; and tea makes me too jittery); spirituality; myth; fairy tales; queer lit; sci-fi; fantasy; cryptozoology; books by channeled entities; babysitting my 18-month-old nephew; meeting my about-to-be born niece; trying to deduce what my cats are saying to me; sitting by the fish pond in our backyard; watching trees and plants bloom after winter; eating spicy food; monkeytaming (that's for Greg)
MusicI'm a total jazzofreak--"phile" is just too mild. From early New Orleans-style up until fusion and lite took over. I also have a real weakness for baroque music (Purcell, Vivaldi, Corelli, Handel), especially early operas (again, Purcell, Handel, Glück). I go weak in the knees for certain countertenors--I way heart David Daniels. I also love the blues, funk, soul, disco (the good, the bad, the kitsch),
MoviesBad Education; Belle et la bête; Bleu; Children of Paradise; The Fifth Element; Harold & Maud; The Incredibles; Law of Desire
TelevisionBattlestar Galactica, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Family Guy, Farscape (don't Crichton and Scorpius make a lovely couple), Heroes, Little Britain, Popular, Six Feet Under, StarTrek (all but Enterprise), Strangers With Candy, Weeds
BooksTrust me, my bookshelves groan from all the amazing books I refuse to part with. But here's a few I'd loan to you to get you started:

Burn by Jennifer Fink; Doc & Fluff by Patrick Calfia; FunHome by Alison Bechdel; His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman; Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke; Johnny Was by Greg Wharton; The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov; "The Mysterious Stranger," by Mark Twain (it's brutal); No Place, Louisiana by Martin Pousson; "The Nose" and "The Overcoat" by Nikolai Gogol; Orlando by Virginia Woolf; War for the Oaks by Emma Bull; The World of Normal Boys by K.M.

About me:

Look, Ma, I kin draw!

(Above) The innards of my new book: The Rapture for Big Sinners: 66 + 6 Things to Do Before and After the Righteous Lift Off


(Below) Me and My Monkey





Hi, my name is Ian Philips and you may remember me from such ready-to-burn queer literotica classics like See Dick Deconstruct: Literotica for the Satirically Bent and Satyriasis.

Don't feel bad if you were stumped on how to pronounce that second title; everybody is. Either Say-tur-rye-a-sus or Sa-ta-rye-a-sus works for me. And I've learned my lesson about titling a book no one can pronounce: don't.)


If you'd like sample a bit of my "cooking," then feel free to jump through the looking glass and visit my website: www.ianphilips.com.

You may also remember me as the Editor in Chief of Suspect Thoughts Press.



You may actually be one of our brilliant authors and know me just as Mama Bear or Mrs. Wharton.

Then again, you may know me as Stewie to Felix Rumpus' Brian.


I'm that and then some. And I'll answer to any of those names--even the name I was born with: Robbie Goble. But I do have a pretty strick "Robbie Rule": if you knew me as Robbie back in Tulsa, Oklahoma or anywhere else before 1991 (Earlham College, St. John's College, Holland Hall), by all means feel free to call me Robbie. If not, Ian or Mama Bear or Mrs. Wharton will do just fine.

(Yup, the top photo is me with an enormous carved statue of Bigfoot outside the Bigfoot Museum in Willow Creek, CA--yes, I'm a huge cryptozoology freak. Of course, Greg and I didn't know it was closed in the winter--but we still got to take an incredible trip through the mountains of Northern California.)

Who I'd like to meet:

Well, I already met him and married him and his little queer press and his little alternaqueer bookstore, too.


But that still doesn't stop me from wanting to circle round cyber-campfire here with all the other misfit toys and divine freaks out in MySpaceland.

Welcome!

Now who brought marshmallows? And who has the chocolate and graham crackers?!

RIP Suspect Thoughts Books? Huh? Does this mean there's going to be another shamanic journey back to the Bay Area? Or has Cleveland been the shamanic journey? Fill me in! xox

Back at'cha, Ian! Happy, Happy B-day! I'm finally drinking age, so I'm thrilled. But that, of course, is counting in dog years. Have a great day and year ... and best of luck to you and your partner with all of your great literary endeavors. Hope to make it to Cleveland one day (perhaps with next memoir, THE FAUX THOREAU: A CITY BOY BATTLES BLIZZARDS, WRESTLES RACCOONS & CUTS CABLE IN A QUEST FOR HIS MODERN-DAY WALDEN POND (It's sort of a gay Sex and the City Goes Country!) out next summer from Random House. Have a great '08! Wade Rouse
