The Interview
1. Are you LGBTQ+? If so, how?
"I’m non-binary and graysexual, though I feel like I’m still untangling a lot of threads and trying to figure out who I am. Sometimes, non-binary feels right. Other times, agender. Years ago, I fretted over settling on something concrete. But nowadays, I’m content with knowing that I might spend the rest of my life finding pieces of myself - pieces I buried or lost over the course of my life."
2. What books of yours have LGBTQ+ representation, and what rep do they have?
"All of my books have LGBTQ+ representation! In my first book, Our Own Light, Floyd, one of my MCs, is gay, while my other MC, Ollie, is demisexual, for example. I can’t see myself writing MCs who aren’t some flavor of queer anytime soon."
3. Why do you think LGBTQ+ rep in books is important?
"Oh, it’s important for so many reasons! I think one of the biggest reasons it’s important, though, is that stories celebrating queerness, queer relationships, and queer joy can help combat some of the hatred and bigotry that’s still so present in the world today. Even though I write historical romances, queer joy is always a big part of my stories. I want my queer characters to find a sense of community and to have people in their lives who support them and love them for who they truly are. And I hope my queer readers find those things in their lives, too. "
4. What got you into writing?
"I’ve been writing since I was nine. When my family bought our first computer, I was eager to try to write my own horror novel. I wish I could read what I had written back then. All 500 (probably) words of it! Haha. Writing has always been a way for me to escape into another world. And to connect with parts of myself through my characters and their stories."
5. Who is a queer figure you look up to?
"I look up to so many queer writers in the MM romance genre. MA Wardell, Lance Lansdale, Jonathan Hawker - there are so many. I admire their storytelling and their prose. If you’re looking for someone known by a larger audience outside of the romance writing space, I would have to say Elliot Page. I found his journey of self-discovery to be truly inspirational."
