My reading at Riffraff Books in Providence, Oct 4

Sad to say I had to cancel my reading at Riffraff Books this evening. My partner Barbara had to go to the ER. She’s fine now! I’m in touch with Riffraff Books and I’ll be rescheduling, they’ve been great about it. I’m so sorry for any inconvenience.

No worries. Fair assumption , darn it. But surprisingly few places have actually banned many of my books.

Ah good—hope it’s a fun listen. They did a great job with the audio book. And guess what! The whole book has been updated and expanded into a new edition. It’s not in audio yet, but it’s an eye opening read. xoxo Auntie

Gender Outlaw came out May 12, 1994, it’s still making people laugh, cry, and gasp out loud in recognition. Thanks for your trust in me and support all these years. Oh, and fuck you very much, Donald Trump—I’ve sold more books than you have.

Just got my advance hardcover copy of MARSHA, by Tourmaline. At long, long last Miss Marsha P. Johnson has a for-real and lovingly written biography. Cannot wait to dig in!

Loved it! Helped explain why I enjoy some genres, yawn at others, and slam my computer shut on a few. So yeah, thanks. Xoxo Auntie
