Outer Alliance Pride Day

As a member of the Outer Alliance, I advocate for queer speculative fiction and those who create, publish and support it, whatever their sexual orientation and gender identity. I make sure this is reflected in my actions and my work.

I'm not actually a member, but yes. Yes, yes, yes.

It is to my great shame that all the queer relationships in The Drowning City got shoved way into the background. Like, Dumbledore-backgrounded. I regret not fixing this when I had a chance. The Bone Palace does not have this problem, I assure you.

ETA: But you can find some queer fishgirl love here.

And so the ranch was saved

matociquala totally saved my village today. She helped me figure out some relevant backstory that lets me not have to unperson my favorite character. In fact, he is now twice as awesome. The backstory of this book has more melodrama than a whole afternoon of soap operas. It makes me happy. Now I just need to figure out where and how to fit the important bits into the story. And finish the attack of the demon birds.
