The Interview
1. Are you LGBTQ+? If so, how?
"Polyamorous and bisexual"
2. What rep do your books have?
"New World series: Mental health rep (cPTSD, depression, SI, anxiety, multiple characters have autism, though it is not directly stated), BIPOC, polyamorous, bisexual, gay, and demisexual"
3. If you were to write in a different genre, what would it be?
"In having explored dark dystopian, dark romance, and dark fantasy, I think the next genre I may try could be horror… 🤭 "
4. Anything exciting for you on the horizon?
"he dark pirate fantasy I’m releasing/have released (depending on when this is posted) is part of a multiverse, which will then bleed into a dark fantasy realm with a broody Commander and a feisty Assassin."
5. Who is a queer figure you look up to?
"I’d have to say RuPaul. I grew up watching him and just fell in love with how he was so openly… him."
