Tube Map of Queer Authors
Look what a UK friend pointed out to me the other day (thanks, Linda!): a Tube Map of Queer Authors put together by the Barbican & Community Libraries, London.
As usual, they’ve mischaracterised me/my work—I should be on a nexus point between the red, yellow, green, and blue lines—and if I had to be connected to only one line, it should be the red one—after all, I’ve written many more non-SFF novels than SFF. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to distance myself from SFF—I love SFF!—but it’s only part of what I do. Having said that, look at where SFF is placed—the smallest line, looped and self-contained, as though SFF has no influence on (or is influenced by) any other literature. Always relegated to the back corner of the store… Or, well, fuck it, no. Let say sui generis (if a whole genre can be singular).
But, hey, it’s a cool map. And I can’t blame the map makers, really—I mean every critic/reviewer and her mother gets confused about what I write; it’s why I hired publicists last year. Sadly, not even they could turn that liner, steaming majestically ahead on its own course 🙄 Oh, well.
As I say, though, still cool: filling the sandwich of Arthur C. Clarke and Octavia Butler. And hey, how could one possibly complain about being on the bottom line of everything, alongside Sappho??

Sonora Reyes’s most recent book, The Golden Boy’s Guide to Bipolar, released in September 2025, is a sideways-sequel to their first book. Three months later, Mx. Reyes discusses their life since publishing Golden Boy, as well as their general experiences in the world of queer literature and publishing.

Support The UIncrustables as we achieve our writing goals this November and raise some money for #GCLS! We're still brainstorming how to entice the masses into giving, but isn't having more sapphic and queer fiction out in the world rewarding enough?! Support the queer, author version of the Justice League!

📕 LIBRISIMO #30 Clip 1 con Naseem Jamnia y su decisión de que la novela LA MARCA DE QILWA (publicada por @cronocifi ) fuera queer-normativa
#fantasía #novela #literatura #queerauthors -
Lately, I've been getting a lot of questions from readers such as:
What’s the best place to get books if I’d like to make sure more of my money goes to the author?
Or: Which format (ebook, paperback, audiobook, KU...) earns authors the most?
I have written a blog post in which I tried to answer those questions.

Every time I reread this scene where Carolyn talks to her ex-boyfriend about her sexuality, it makes me cry. I hope it has as much impact for people reading as it had for me when I wrote it.

Thursday's snippet from Missed Fortunes, open for pre-order now at Duck Prints Press!
Head down, the wolf takes a step forward, fangs bared as it snarls. There’s no place for Carolyn to go; there’s a wall behind her.
The card shines on the floor, the ball of light lingering.
It’s still a dream.
A nightmare.
It has to be.

“I have terrible instincts,” Carolyn says dryly. “When I’ve tried trusting them, I usually end up in trouble. It’s easier to have an interpreter sometimes. There are days when I wonder if I speak an entirely different language than everyone else.”

Silly little phrasing that I like:
Make it consistent. Control the dream. Escape the nightmare.

Hey-yo! It's #PrideMonth! I thought I'd start short this year, and talk about a short fiction collection and an anthology I loved.
Pop on over to the ol' blog for two books I hope you'll check out: "Mercedes General" and "We Mostly Come Out at Night."

Looking for book recommendations for female and queer sci-fi and fantasy authors. Especially classic ones (pre 80s), but I know they aren’t as prominent then.

Remember the pirate who is tossing English-language sapphic fiction into AI, producing horrible translations, & publishing them on Amazon?
They are still at it. We are up to 178 stolen books & counting.
Authors, please have a way for me to contact you if he steals one of yours!

Let's do a #Novellavember update! From my favorites bookshelf -
A TASTE OF HONEY by Kai Ashante Wilson! (2016)
A gorgeous high fantasy novella (who says high fantasy has to be doorstopper-length?), unapologetically Black & queer.

I would love some #BookRecommendations if anyone knows any!
I'm specifically after #fantasy #books with male #Queer protagonists, which are NOT romance focused (a little is fine, but I don't want to read a Romance™️ book). Incidental queerness.
I'd really like to read books by men or other queer writers. Women authors are great, but I struggle to find representation from a male perspective, if that makes sense
