My posts are super political, but my stories are never sermons or op-eds.

I write pulpy power fantasies for radicals and the othered. They're probably not cozy, but they're cathartic as fuck.

Call for Papers:
“Speculating Gender: Trans and Non-Binary Genders in Speculative Fiction”

How is gender imagined in speculative fiction, where all kinds of imaginations are seemingly possible? What kind of representation, narratives, or game mechanics are used when creating gendered imaginations beyond the binary? We call for papers for a scholarly anthology on current understandings on “Trans and Non-Binary Genders in Speculative Fiction”.

Prospectively, a selection of papers will be published as a peer-reviewed research anthology edited by Dr. Aino-Kaisa Koistinen, Dr. Mika Loponen, and PhD candidate Susi Nousiainen. Please send a 300-500 word abstract, including selected references, & short bio (in English) to nbbookproject@gmail.com by April 15, 2025 for inclusion in the collection (we expect first drafts of 5,000–8,000 words in August 2025).

Feel free to share!

We have a lot of #PRIDE in our books!
Forest Path Books is celebrating #PrideMonth2024 !
#LGBTQ2S+ #LoveIsLove #QueerSFF #QueerHistoricals #QueerAuthors #QueerBooks

Our #Pride month was March, but we get to be Proud again in June apparently so you are going to hear about some queer media I am enjoying.

I am reading the third in H. A. Clarke's Scapegracers trilogy. Densely sensual prose, in the literal sense. A witchy setting where queerness is deeply entwined with magic. At the same time unapologetically all things teen girly - I'm talking hexing boys using effed up old ken dolls and drawing sigils on yourself in Sharpe.

It has started!!!

Visit our fun sale at krakenfriends.claudiearseneault.com , get cool queer sff books by indie authors!

AND it has a fun quiz, where you can find out which of our queer characters you are!! (Don't be shy, screenshot those results and share with us :D)

(and please boost!! We put a lot of effort into making the event fun!)
