Fiction: Peterson writes fantasy stories on friendship, gay historical fantasy tales, and contemporary gay fiction. Occasionally, a heterosexual love story will appear as well. Suspense plays an important role in many of the tales; the conflict in those tales is both external and internal. Peterson's stories are often placed in dark settings, such as prisons or wartime locations. The mood of the stories, however, is not one of unrelieved gloominess. Romance and friendship, especially male friendship, are recurring themes.
Nonfiction: Peterson's nonfiction over the years has spanned a wide range of topics: articles on social and intellectual history; community news and interfaith news; resources for the blind and for genre fiction readers; and information on the history of and current debates on friendship, romantic friendship, romance, and sexuality, including GLBT history and leather history.
E-zine: Dusk Peterson currently edits an e-zine of gay fiction and nonfiction, True Tales, whose contributors include Felice Picano and the late John Preston.
