Printed; July 16 2025

The Other Face of Sympathy goes to the printers today, and I can hardly believe it! I get to drag my transgender protagonist through the Horrors for your enjoyment this fall!

I love writing queer characters. I love putting them in the genres we read but don’t often get to see ourselves in, even when the plot’s circumstances aren’t what we personally want to go through. We just need people like us in stories of all kinds.

I went into a bookstore earlier this week and had a Moment when I saw the table featuring Canadian authors, too. That’s going to be me. I could have a book on there this September.

Wild.

Reminder that you can preorder either the e-book or paperback by using this link – from there, you can choose your preferred bookstore to order from. Preorders are one of the most important statistics the publishing world uses to gauge an author’s ‘success’, so the more preorders I get, the more likely more publishers are to take a chance on my books.

If you’ve already preordered, thank you so much! If you haven’t – I get it, money’s tight for everyone right now. But either way, hopefully you’re encouraging friends or family or strangers on the street to preorder a copy!
