Obligatory life and writing update:
As some of you know, outside of tumblr I’m an author. My debut children’s book The Pronoun Book: She, He, They and Me came out in 2021 and I guess I haven’t posted much about my professional writing here since. Whoops!
So here’s the news you missed:
Not long after The Pronoun Book released I self-published two poetry chapbooks (Spirals and Ladders and letters i will never send) both of which are available in print and ebook mostly on Amazon but they sporadically seem to pop up on Books-A-Million and Waterstones. At some plan I plan to add these to nook, kobo, and other ebook platforms, but I don’t have an ETA on that yet.
Then in August 2023, I released a follow up to The Pronoun Book called The Gender Book: Girls, Boys, Non-binary and Beyond. (Not to be confused with The Gender Book by Hunter Rook and Jay Mays which is is also great and worthy of praise)
But while I was writing The Gender Book, there was just too much content to fit in, so my editor suggested creating a whole new book just about culturally specific gender identities such as Two Spirit, mahu, and hijras. We found a Two Spirit illustrator named Moe Butterfly to work with and soon My Culture, My Gender, Me was born.
So all this to say, if you feel like supporting the work of a disabled genderqueer author, then hi, it’s nice to meet you! My name’s Cassandra.
