Nothing about us without us! A young adult anthology of stories about trans autistic characters by trans autistic authors. These last few years have been difficult for the transgender community. This has included frequent attacks on autistic trans people, claiming we can’t possibly understand who we are or what we want. This book focuses on autistic trans masc and non-binary people telling our own stories. It aims to explore autistic trans joy and challenges and to show all the autistic trans people out there that they are not alone. A young shepherd gets a glimpse of what could have been, but all is not as it seems. A babysitter is tasked to take care of an unusual child, and discovers who they are in the process. In a dystopian future, a teenager discovers a supposedly extinct animal on a beach. Featuring stories from 13 authors including a story from New York Times bestselling author Andrew Joseph White.
Authors
I am a sci-fi geek from upstate New York, where I crochet, watch Doctor Who, and threaten to run over people in my wheelchair. My work has been featured in several anthologies and my debut novella Anachronism is now available. I write weird and hopeful sci-fi and fantasy full of LGBTQIA+ characters, disabled characters, and the occasional Jurassic Park references. I hope my stories can be a safe and welcoming place no matter your gender, ability, race, religion, or orientation. I write stories I want my grandma to read without blushing - sex may be mentioned (I do love a good innuendo) but will never happen on the page, violence is handled with care and is not gory, and most stories do not contain swear words (the ones that do are used sparingly and only when appropriate to the character). I'm that nerd who can recite the periodic table backwards, can talk about dinosaurs for hours, and has a betta fish named Fincess Leia. My debut novel, JACK JETSTARK'S INTERGALACTIC FREAKSHOW, will be published by World Weaver Press in 2019. Find my work here. I'm on the Twitter and I have a blog.
