Meanwhile, check out this heartfelt convo with @sophiajt.com on how trans books rekindled her love of reading and writing. Loved the book. We became friends from this podcast and full disclosure, now partners. But I enjoyed the book before any of that. 🥰

RIP to David Lynch, gone one year today — here’s an old poem from when I first rewatched The Return, astonished by the way it redefined time, space, and memory, collapsing + problematizing them with humor and warmth even in the presence of seemingly ineradicable American violence

Just found out I've been accepted to attend the 2026 Romance Author Expo in Holyoke, MA at the B&N on Feb. 8!
I'll be there with other really cool romance authors like @aafairview.bsky.social signing books, and there will also be an awesome panel, I'm told.

Also *my* personal favorite of Autumn's work. Y'all should for sure read this book and also encourage Autumn to write a spicy sequel 🤭
Pssssssttttt can I let y'all in on a secret?
I've published 14 books now, and my personal favorite remains Bride of the Elven Innkeeper (followed by My Aunt, The Vampire).

Picked up two trans books I ordered from my bookstore today. Magica Riot: Full Bloom by Kara Buchanan & Lesser Hungers by Rien Gray. The duality of transgender literature :D. #samreads. (Also cute girl x nonbinary horror is the relationship between my girlfriend and me, so this too is t4t).

The gluten-free vegan food in Australia is so good that I am forgetting to even take a pic. Just in the moment. It is just...so real. So...food? Idk how to explain it. 😅

Unless someone has been actively shitty to me -- which has happened, but rarely -- I make every effort to support fellow trans/enby writers. We have such beautiful stories. They may not be perfect. If we do not lift them up and scream for them as a community, who will? To do otherwise hurts us.

Reminder that I have a list of my best reads of 2025 if you’re looking to fill a TBR slot!
🚨My 2025 books of the year🚨
I read a lot of great books this year, but these stuck out the most at year's end.
Trans books make up a large percentage, unsurprisingly.
More trade pub books than usual!
Romance dominates.
Sci-fi is making a run on fantasy!
In no particular order:

Decided to delete quote post.
So, I will repeat.
Trans books aren't a big publishing industry but an emerging indie space. As a founder of my own micropress and host of a trans books podcast with 100s of listeners, I will never work or associate with an unprofessional and mean-spirited reviewer.
