Timeline

1955

Jameson Currier (October 16, 1955) is an American novelist, short story writer, poet, critic, journalist, editor, and publisher.

Currier was born in Marietta, Georgia.

He earned a B.A. in English from Emory University, where he participated in music and theater groups.

1978

He began graduate studies in dramatic literature at New York University in 1978, but left before completing a degree.

Currier took a position with an entertainment publicity firm that handled theater accounts while pursuing his writing part-time.

His first short stories centered on the comic adventures of a group of nomadic performers that he based on his friends.

The subject and theme of his short stories changed as many of these friends became early casualties of the AIDS epidemic.

Writer David B. Feinberg brought Currier's AIDS stories to the attention of Edward Iwanicki, an editor at Viking Penguin who published the work of many gay male writers.

1990

In the early 1990s, Currier contributed anonymous book reviews to the trade magazine Publishers Weekly and he then reviewed gay-themed books for local and national gay and mainstream publications.

He served in the late 1990s as an editor of the gay Manhattan weekly newspaper, The New York Blade, where he reported the behind-the-scenes story of the addition of the Stonewall Inn to the National Register of Historic Places.

After the events of 9/11, Currier wrote A Gathering Storm, a novel inspired by the beating of Matthew Shepard.

1993

Currier's first published collection of short stories, Dancing on the Moon: Short Stories About AIDS (1993), focused on the impact of AIDS on the families, friends, and partners of gay men who were facing the disease.

From 1993 to 1996, Currier wrote features, articles, and interviews for Body Positive, a monthly magazine for the HIV-positive community.

1994

He was a member of the National Book Critics Circle from 1994 to 2000.

He wrote the screenplay for the documentary film Living Proof: HIV and the Pursuit of Happiness (1994), based on the studio portraits of HIV-positive people by photographer Carolyn Jones.

1998

In 1998, Currier published his debut novel Where the Rainbow Ends, about a young gay man from the South who arrives to Manhattan in the late 1970s and falls in with a group of artistic friends, who are pulled apart and bonded together by the unexpected challenges of the AIDS epidemic.

1999

The novel was a shortlisted nominee for the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Fiction at the 11th Lambda Literary Awards in 1999.

Currier continued to write short stories on AIDS issues and gay male relationships, several of which were first published in new Internet ventures such as Blithe House Quarterly and Velvet Mafia.

2001

From 2001 to 2010, Currier reported on news items of interest to the LGBTQ publishing community, first in a column for the print journal Lambda Book Review, then in QueerType, his monthly Internet blog.

2004

His second book of short fiction, Desire, Lust, Passion, Sex (2004), collected many of these stories.

Currier continued to work as a literary critic and journalist.

2008

In 2008, Currier collected three decades of his short fiction about the impact of AIDS on the lives of gay men in Still Dancing: New and Selected Stories, which was published by Lethe Press, a small press begun by author Steve Berman.

The following year, Currier's gay-themed ghost stories, were published as The Haunted Heart and Other Tales.

The stories depict contemporary issues of the gay community in a supernatural setting.

Included in the collection was "The Bloomsbury Nudes", a short story that revolves around Duncan Grant and Aleister Crowley and which was first published in the Bram Stoker Award-winning anthology Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet.

2010

In 2010, Currier established Chelsea Station Editions, an independent press devoted to gay literature.

He served as the publisher, editor, and designer.

The first book the press published was The Wolf at the Door, Currier's tale of a haunted gay-owned guesthouse in New Orleans.

2011

The novel was a shortlisted nominee for the Gaylactic Spectrum Award for Best Novel in 2011.

In 2011, Chelsea Station Editions published books by Felice Picano; Jon Marans, Michael Graves, Craig Moreau, Charles Silverstein and Wesley Gibson, along with Currier's third novel, The Third Buddha, which explores the effects of the World Trade Center attacks on a group of gay men and which is partially set in Afghanistan.

In the fall of 2011, Currier launched Chelsea Station magazine, a journal devoted to gay literature that published sporadically until he re-launched the magazine in 2014 as a web journal.

Over the course of the next three years, Chelsea Station Editions issued debut books written by Jeffrey Luscombe, J.R. Greenwell, William Sterling Walker, Gil Cole, and Dan Lopez.

The press became home to Currier's previously published work through reprint editions.
