Hello y'all! Butterfly on a Wheel has been out for almost a year, but it's about to go on sale at Smashwords (starting 12/8). If you are interested in a coming-of-age tale about a messy pop-rock band fronted by a trans guy, you can find it here as well as at the 'Zon!

Ice Apprentices by Jacob North is such a fun middle-grade fantasy. The MC is trans masc and it has a genderfluid character AND a gate and fence that are in love (im dead serious)
i WISH i couldve read this as a kid, it warms my heart to see queer rep being more common🌈

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
