Wonderland Pride Spotlight Day 3: BJ Sikes
Welcome to day 3 of the 2026 Wonderland Pride Spotlight! This is my way to help champion LGBTQ+ books and authors this Pride month! Today I am interviewing BJ Sikes . Be sure to check out my Instagram for even more excitement with this event!
BJ Sikes 's LGBTQ+ Releases
- Her Runaway Lady
- The Archimedean Heart
- The Vitruvian Mask
The Interview
1. Are you LGBTQ+? If so, how?
"Queer"
2. What rep do your books have?
"The Archimedean Heart: ace
The Vitruvian Mask: bi, nonbinary, gay
Her Runaway Lady: lesbian"3. If you were to write in a different genre, what would it be?
"I already write in multiple genres! I'm all about historicals but the genre shifts. I started out with steampunk with queer vibes, then published a gothic horror, and now a sapphic historical romance."
4. What is your biggest writing inspiration?
"Music lyrics are really inspirational for me. The seed for my next book was an Unwoman lyric: 'I am making peace with the emptiness, the hollowness, because I refuse to fill it with lies.'"
5. Anything exciting for you on the horizon?
"I'll be publishing a queer climate sci-fi this summer with Water Dragon Publishing. I've always been an indie author writing historicals so this is definitely a new direction for me!"
6. Who is a queer figure you look up to?
"A gay author friend of mine who works his tail off promoting other queer authors while continuing to write his own work at an astonishing pace (without AI!)."
Outro
I adore this excuse to conduct little author interviews! Happy Pride everyone! Stay tuned tomorrow for another amazing indie author and their LGBTQ+ releases!
