The Interview
1. Are you LGBTQ+? If so, how?
"I am! I am Asexual, Biromantic."
2. What books of yours have LGBTQ+ representation, and what rep do they have?
"My debut novel, Blackblood, is a queer YA Fantasy with Sapphic, Bi, and Nonbinary rep."
3. Why do you think LGBTQ+ rep in books is important?
"I am from a very queer community, where all my friends identify as queer in some way. For me, it's important to represent the reality of my world and my relationships---queer people are real and exist and as such should be represented in stories. I want my characters to reflect lived experiences as much as possible."
4. What got you into writing?
"I have always *loved* books and stories, but I never thought to write one until my friend showed me her original work when we were in middle school. That blew me away, that people could just write!! And I wanted to do it too, and it spiraled from there."
5. Who is a queer figure you look up to?
"Is it cheesy to say my wife? She's trans, and she has come so far in her journey, and I'm *so* proud of everything she's accomplished. She's my biggest cheerleader, and I hope she considers me hers!"
