    Author Interview: Isaac Fitzsimons

    29 May, 2021

    If you could inject yourself with serotonin, I imagine it’d feel about the same as reading The Passing Playbook. It’s a book about a trans kid who joins his new school’s football team, a rivalry turned romance, and a found family that will have you grinning uncontrollably. In other words, it is the perfect way to kick your Pride month reading off.

    If, for some reason, you’re still not convinced, our reviews will be up for The Passing Playbook in the next week, and don’t forget you can follow Isaac on twitter right now!

    Read on to learn how Jxckson uses visuals to create lyrics & stories, and how much of an influence Britney Spears is for him.

    Author Interview: Allison Saft

    3 March, 2021

    As you are (hopefully) aware, Allison Saft’s debut, Down Comes the Night, released yesterday (finally, I say, having made the glorious mistake of reading it last August and been suffering since then) so today, we have for you the interview she so kindly answered for us…just a few months back now I guess.

    Down Comes the Night is a gothic fantasy mystery, featuring a maybe-haunted house and some good old-fashioned enemies to lovers — basically the book of all our dreams. And trust me when I say, if you pick this up, make sure you’re prepared to be glued to the sofa/bed/other such seating arrangement of your desire until you’ve put it down. It’s one of those.

    So, get yourself comfortable, and have a read of this. And don’t forget to follow her on Twitter!

    And then promise me you’ll go read the book.

    Author Interview: Sophie Gonzales

    21 February, 2021

    If you’re not a fan of Sophie yet, I don’t know what you’re doing with your life. Personally I’m in love with her novel from last year – Only Mostly Devastated – it easily made my list of YA books with supportive parents. (You can also check out my review here.)

    And so obviously I can’t wait for y’all to be able to read her upcoming novel – Perfect on Paper. It’s getting published on March 9th, and yes, I absolutely did make Charlotte include it on her rec list of m/f romances with bi mcs. Don’t forget Sophie actually has another book coming out this year, too, co-written with Cale Dietrich – If This Gets Out.

    So without further ado, read on to see how openly Sophie talks about her fanfic past & how much it taught her, about zombies, and more. And don’t forget to follow her on Twitter!
