Trying Not To Die

You will have to forgive the lack of posts in my part. What I thought would be a productive winter break was interrupted by some sort of ick. So much was to be done! PitchMAS was a success. I'll have to talk about that later. The energy is leaving me.


I have been confined to my bedchamber for six days now, unable to write. Reading has been difficult, but I somehow managed to finish two books. I believe it was best put into glorious words by Sweet Brown, who shares my affliction, in saying that "Ain't nobody got time for that."

Book Review: Black Iris by Elliot Wake

Black Iris by Leah Raeder My rating: 5 of 5 stars Dear Reader, if you’re searching for a story about a down-and-out little queer girl coming-of-age and blossoming as she discovers her sexuality in college, then look somewhere else. This is not the candy-coated New Adult love story for you. BLACK IRIS isn’t a love story. It’s a revenge story. And it’s about the girl who took charge and got exactly what she wanted. But maybe what she wanted just wasn’t enough. BLACK IRIS takes place over alternating timelines, which are meticulously crafted to the point of perfection. They switch between Laney Keating’s senior year of high school to her freshman year of college. At college, she meets Blythe McKinney and Armin Farhoudi, two upperclassmen who know the ins and outs of the club scene at Umbra.

BAD BOY Revisited

Now that I'm out as a genderqueer person, I'm revisiting my review of BAD BOY by Elliot Wake to give content and trigger warnings for other folks. This is a trans book that contains detailed descriptions of what it means to transition from female to male written by someone who has undergone the process. If you aren't comfortable reading about these details, walk away. If you feel this might be too voyeuristic for you, walk away. If it will bring up to many thoughts or feelings of dysphoria, walk away. If hearing about TERFs and non-trans acceptance by family and friends is harmful to you, walk away. This book was influential in my life, but that's because I was in the right mindset to read it. I'm usually the one doing the vetting for others. I can handle a lot. I can handle dark and angry. If you can't, there's no problem in that. Take care of yourself and put this one aside. If you have issues with any of the following, please reconsider reading this boo

22 nonbinary creators you need to keep an eye out for

I'm thankful to be featured in a Cultress article about nonbinary creators! Cellie knows my love of all things pickles. Pickles and circuses, that's my signature! 22 nonbinary creators you need to keep an eye out for I'm most known for the unreleased "circus book," pitched as Cirque du Soleil with magic and an all-queer, international cast. I also make it a point to include at least three pronouns and genders in each book and actively include disabled characters like myself. The list also includes Mia Sieger, author of Jerkbait, who is my agency sibling and bigender. We've become CP (critique partners) and fast friends since I signed. My agent is her agent's agent. See how that works? Thank you to Cultress , article author Ceillie Simkiss , and everyone involved with Nonbinary November #nbnovember for spreading some nonbinary love!
