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🌈

@castofwonders.org has some glorious Trans written & about trans identity stories. We LOVE publishing them! This one is a particular favourite: www.castofwonders.org/2023/02/cast...

Firestorm (12:05 PM): You know, given all the possibilities for an apocalypse, this wasn’t the one I expected us to see. At least not first. Kazumi (12:31 PM): Did you see the good news, though?

If you love books/comics with trans representation and queer love/themes, then you’d like “How To Be Human” on Tapas & GlobalComix! Link in bio to read :)

While we're giving thanks ...

If you pick up a book by an indie trans author, they'll be thankful for the sale, while you'll be thankful for a good read!
On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
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?
