Two starred reviews for Bad Boy

I’m wildly excited to announce that my forthcoming novel Bad Boy—a thriller about a trans man struggling to define his masculinity in a toxic, misogynistic world—has gotten starred reviews from both Kirkus and Booklist. Woo!

Public appearances

That’s right. IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING.

In 2017, I’ll be appearing at events to talk about my writing and gender transition. Details to come when they’re finalized, but you can expect to see me in Chicago in late January, and near Boston in early April.

Feel free to bring books you want signed. And be nice. I’m new at this.

Beard & bicep progress

Here’s what I look like at 8.5 months on testosterone.
