Saw a review on Goodreads the other day for HANG THE MOON, mad it wasnât f/f like WRITTEN IN THE STARS.
Iâve been thinking about this a LOT ever since in terms of my own Author Brand. Insert thread of me thinking out loud about queer romance

First, I know Goodreads is just Goodreads, & I wasnât surprised about this take because lesbians be intense lol
But also, queer women who want f/f have valid complaints! Other than indies who specialize in queer stuff, itâs been almost nonexistent for Big 4

This year we had SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT and WRITTEN IN THE STARS, which is great! But Iâm trying to think of any f/f romance for 2021 from the Big 4, at least that weâve really heard about yet, & coming up blank? Give us more f/f
I also have no problem with authors who choose to only really write one gender pairing, ESPECIALLY if that matches their own identity, because duh
THAT SAID...I have no problem with HANG THE MOON being m/f because....
I always want to read about all the ways to bang

& I know this mainly has to do with MY identity but I really cannot comprehend not wanting to read about all the ways to bang 
Like, the fact that m/m is such an easier sell, to both publishers & readers, than f/fâthere is a LOT to unpack about that, but I WANT BOTH???

& accordingly this is how I write. Iâve written 4 things so far that will be published in the upcoming years, and they all have different gender pairings. Obviously I will have to start repeating soon lol but THERE ARE PLENTY MORE THAN 4 TO CHOOSE FROM!
& to me, that is the beauty of both being queer and being a queer reader & writerâthere are some many limitless things to explore, about our bodies, our genders, our loves.
This is one reason I loved @emclellanwritesâs SO OVER THE HOLIDAYS books this year! All queer, all different ways to bang & love!! I feel like I found a kindred spirit, but one who can write WAY hotter sex & knows way more about toys than me lol
ANYWAY, I know this is just me, & not everyone is going to love all my different books equally. Or be mad that I write about certain pairings. And thatâs okay, but Iâm trying to prep myself for it now, I guess. For me it is always about exploring queernessâ
& there are some pairings I wouldnât write, like trans stories beyond being enby, because those are not my stories to write.
My hope is that there are enough freaks out there like me who also always, ALWAYS want to read about all the different ways to bang & love, too.
