Ian Philips (www.ianphilips.com) is the Mama Bear, or Editor-in-Chief, of Suspect Thoughts Press. He loves this job because he gets to work with brilliant word wantons like Patrick Califia and Rob Stephenson and Amie Evans and Adam Greenway, and he gets to fuck the publisher, Greg Wharton, whom he’s been happily fucking since 2001 and to whom he has been also very happily married since the 2004 Winter of Love in San Francisco. He knows his way around a porn story or two. He’s written two collections worth and one of them even won a Lambda Literary Award. And he’s even co-edited a thick handful of erotic anthologies, all again with Greg Wharton. What’s with it with these two, are they joined at the hip? Close.
