The Interview

1. Are you LGBTQ+? If so, how?

"I'm a bisexual non-binary writer 💞🏳️‍⚧️"

2. What books of yours have LGBTQ+ representation, and what rep do they have?

"All of my books are sapphic and they feature lesbians, bisexuals, and queer leads. A few of my novellas also feature non-binary leads."

3. Why do you think LGBTQ+ rep in books is important?

"Writing LGBTQ+ rep in books is important to me because it was books that helped me accept all parts of myself. In particular, I write cozy romances because I think it's important to create safe spaces for readers where the queer rep is normalized and not treated as an obstacle to the character."

4. What got you into writing?

"I've been a writer since I was a teen, so that part of my creativity was always present for me, but what pushed me to publish was wanting to write cozy books that I knew I wanted to read. I wanted to create stories where queerness wasn't something that the characters had to grapple with or accept about themselves or have the world question about them; my characters are queer and that's just who they are."

5. Who is a queer figure you look up to?

"Too many to name!! Right off the top of my head: Elliot Page and ALOK"
