I'm a trans dyke and a recent debut author, and during this sale I will not have a home! I used to be a public high school teacher in Orlando, FL, but state and local policies have become so intolerable that my wife and I are having to move to Maryland. You can read more about my situation in my interview with the Advocate.
I move out of my current apartment on June 22nd, and if things go exactly as planned, I should be able to move into a new place on July 13th. In the interim, I'll have no home, no car, no job, and most of my belongings will be in storage. Due to the generosity of a bunch of queer strangers, I've been able to afford the move and my rent/bills until the end of the Summer, but unless I can scrape together some more money, I can't afford to replace my car or pay my bills past the start of August.
I'm not asking for a donation, I'm asking for you to buy and read my book. If you like it, share it with your friends. It's a dark fantasy split into three intertwining tales, a war fantasy mixed with sapphic romance and transgender horror. It's got economic exploitation, religious oppression, border disputes, deconstruction of compulsory heterosexuality, hot girls who play music, lesbian sex, dragons-as-billionaires-as-cancer, the existential terror of the sea, an interdimensional gay bar, a gutting exploration of the cost of resisting one's own transness, detailed depictions of righteous violence, and the feminine urge to burn it all down. I think you might like it.
UPDATE: The sale has been extended through July 20th, and the discount is now a full 2/3. We REALLY need the money.
