HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🏳️‍🌈 🎉

While you can be sure that everything I write will always be queer, here's a handy little breakdown of the identities featured in my books.

Readers are not entitled to any private information about authors, and that includes identity, but as someone who's out in all areas of their life and enjoys talking about themself (ehem), I'm personally always happy to answer any questions you have in relation to my queerness or what it means to me to see my identities featured in the stories I write and read! 🥰

Oof! Ok, so I admit that while I do read a lot of nonfiction, Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity was a little deeper into academic theory than I expected or was prepared for. There were large parts where it was a difficult book for me to follow. I think the subject matter is exciting enough and we're starved enough for good trans histories and nonfiction by people of color, that this one is being passed around as being more accessible than it is, to no fault of the author or publisher.

Still, I think I gained a sense of the argument and I gained a really good look into some histories of Black cross-dressers and trans people over time, which was my goal on picking up this book. I also gained some, if not nearly as much as author C. Riley Snorton aimed for, understanding of the linkages between Blackness and transness, particularly when it comes to the idea of "passing" in society and how it inherently questions the very binary and structure of what you're passing into—for example, how a slave who looks white could challenge the very premise of racial superiority and obvious difference, or how a person who lives as a woman and is accepted as one but has not had surgery to change their genitals challenges the premise of a cis, hetero patriarchy.

One fun note also was that I realized that Snorton wrote this book at Cornell University, and is now at University of Chicago. I began reading it while visiting a friend for their wedding in Ithaca, and finished it at home in Hyde Park, so this was a fun coincidence.

If anyone wants a queer reading experience for Pride, I recommend She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan. We have a she/her husband, some wlw, a character publicly living as a man, a gay eunuch, a very slightly gay prince. You won’t regret it!

Just saying, if you've only read the first Guides for Dating Vampires book, you're missing out on some real good shit in book two.

Like, the teasing?

The yearning?

The relatable autistic fandom characterization?

The pissing off your controlling parents by bringing the hot inner city bad boy who's selling you his blood as a fake date to their fancy house party and introducing him to them while he's wear twenty thousand dollars worth of their necklaces and no shirt?

Missing. Out.

I'm extremely happy that Sugar People is part of the Pride Month campaign over on Bookshop.org. It's on 20% discount, the code is PRIDE2023 and lasts until 30th June.

It's only available on the US site, so if this doesn't apply to you, please consider sharing and passing this on to any US-based friends!

The full list of awesome queer-authored books that you can get with the discount is here: https://bookshop.org/info/pride-2023

So if my particular brand of dark, horrifying, reality-bending fiction doesn't appeal to you, there is probably another author in this list who does!

(Book link, incl. blurb and more info: https://bookshop.org/.../sugar-people-oliver-ferrie/19960992 )

HAPPY PRIDE!!!

There are tons of great books coming out this month! Here are just a few of the ones I'm most excited about

As always, check under the cut for more on each~

Hell Followed With Us by Andrew Joseph White is one of my favorite books of the year! It also happens to be the only book on this list that I've already read! This is a trans-led queer apocalyptic horror novel that I've been screaming about ever since I had the good fortune to get to read it early. If you love monsters, trans rage, and smashing evangelical hate, read this book ASAP.

Home Field Advantage by Dahlia Adler is a sapphic romance between the cheer captain and the new quarterback, whose gender is apparently already causing an uproar. Remember that photo going around of the cheerleader helping the football player put her hair up in a ponytail? Yeah, this book was inspired by that.

Not Good for Maidens by Tori Bovalino is a retelling of The Goblin Market but made into a queer horror piece. I cannot wait for the dark, lush experience of a place so magical and tempting, or the insane pressure of needing to escape it in 3 days.

Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid is another retelling, but this one isn't queer and instead of retelling a poem it's retelling a folktale. A gothic take on The Juniper Tree, this one is full of curses, forbidden love, and danger. I've heard SO many good things about this book and this author!

Drunk on All Your Strange New Words by Eddie Robson is a scifi locked door mystery! This book stars a middling (alien language) translator with few credentials or prospects who finds herself in the middle of a mysterious, political death. This is also a post-contact story with the very fun addition that those who can understand the aliens' telepathic language feel literally drunk from it.

Godslayers by Zoe Hana Mikuta is the sequel to the sapphic, Gundam-y Gearbreakers! From the cover alone this book promises even more revolution, action, and gigantic government robots.

Pride Reads: "Eight Weeks in Paris" by S.R. Lane

Pride Reads 2023 is moving right along, from a book where the romance seemed almost secondary to a book where the romance is the entire point. Eight Weeks in Paris by S.R. Lane is the story of what is basically an ill-advised romance on the set of a period film. The leads – one out, one closeted – deal with overcoming preconceived notions and the viciousness that is entertainment media. Continue…
