Psst, it’s kinda late but guess what: my book RISE OF THE BATTLEBITCH is free on Kindle for the next dew days!

Humor! Catgirls! Adventure! A big hot trans girl with a sword!

Also, it’s way more romantic than you’d think for a book with a blowjob sandwich as early as chapter two. 🤔

3 books that I think go really well together--transfem litfic (or litfic adjacent) with a specific sense of humor; two have strong thematic common ground (though the teenage trans girls in both are very different), and the adult trans women in Rotten Girl and Woodworking are both a little messy.

If you like post-modern lit, do I have a recommendation for you!

LITTLE BLUE ENCYCLOPEDIA (FOR VIVIAN) is a work of genius. Hazel Jane Plante creates a world, a world within it, and vivid characters in both. It's one of the best things I've read in years.
