Prism & PenHere, back in the school yard under the orange glow of street lamps and the residual white of soccer floodlights, we put the finishing touches on Alex’s costume. Clipping a plastic “bling necklace” around her neck while she’s dressed as a ghost is peak Alex.

What does it take to build and sustain a life & career in writing over almost forty years? This event marks the re-issue of Val’s earliest crime series – the Lindsay Gordon novels – first published in the 1980s, & seminal in what has become known as the ‘queering of the genre’
Laura PerryThis book was really hard to write, not because the story is complicated (though it is) but because it's so heart-wrenching. And so very relevant to our times. Follow Aria as she navigates the hard times at the end of Minoan civilization, and ponder how we might make better choices today. Book details, including CWs, here:

Jae and I find ourselves in front of a formidable pointy barrier that seems more befitting for a prison. Times sure have changed. I mean, I certainly have since I went here. My school uniform wouldn’t fit these days. In the most important of ways, it never really did.

A twenty-one-year-old kid from rural nowhere teaching a mountain of a man from deep Georgia how to read Japanese comics in a queer bar basement. That's the whole story. That's the whole revolution. Scissors and tape on a bedroom wall, updated for a generation that draws its own mirrors. #QueerFiction #LGBTQ #MangaCulture #ChosenFamily #QueerArt #TransLiterature

I cut down to size some of the loose material that would drag on the floor, put the scissors back, and pick up my house keys instead. Jae is already walking down the path, a backpack with cider deforming their ghostly apparition.

“Zebedee, what have you done?”
Hooves dripping with crimson equine blood, Zebedee Zebra hunched over the body of Zelda Zebra, his ribs shaking with… laughter?

‘What are you lookin’ at, Tom?’
‘What am I lookin’ at?’ I answer, in an attempt to copy her.
