Fantasy Author and Very Serious Person
First off, 2023 was a much better year in the Doore household than 2022. Last year was the year COVID finally caught up to us, resulting in multiple months of recurrent illness and a general feeling of blah. I had to cancel my physical attendance at the Chicago WorldCon, which I'd been dearly looking forward… Continue reading 2023
Welcome to my ongoing and somewhat-regularly updated list of queer adult science-fiction and fantasy books published in 2023! If you haven't been around for my previous lists, this list and the ones before (see: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019) - are my answer to every, "Where is all the queer/LGBTQIA/QUILTBAG representation in adult fantasy and science-fiction… Continue reading 2023 Queer Adult Science Fiction & Fantasy Books

Just in time to plan your TBR lists for PRIDE, it's the fully updated and expanded 2021 Queer Adult Science Fiction & Fantasy Books list!

Hard to believe that I had a book come out this month, huh? Let alone the last book in a trilogy. This month has been a year in and of itself: plague, civil unrest, a reckoning in the SFF sphere, and so many other things. Kinda makes you feel like a little book birthday isn't… Continue reading A Trilogy, Complete
In celebration - and anticipation - of the third and final book in the Chronicles of Ghadid series, I'm sharing an in-world novella that takes place sometime during the events of the second book, The Impossible Contract.
