A World Beside Our Own

by Aimee Menard

Simon is a run-away trans-identified youth, trying to find a means to flee from religiously unaccepting parents. On a rainy night, he encounters the strangest girl he could ever meet. She pulls Simon into a world he never knew existed, where magical creatures have lived alongside humanity for generations. Where there's another option to transition when embracing the Elven blood in your veins.

About the author

Aimée sees herself as a modern-day Bard: artisan, poet, geek and overall jack-of-all-trades. To make her transition into writing easier, she started writing Sims fanfiction. Her love for science fiction, fantasy, and romance grew into something more. Working with her son, she created an alternate Earth filled with magic and technology many would likely want to see. She includes a lot of LGBTQ+ issues and characters in her books, leaning mostly on the positive side of queer culture. Many of her characters, however, are broken, abused, and healing.

As a transgender woman, she gets fairly involved with topics on Inclusion & Diversity; skipping in and out of the community - more an educator and speaker than an activist.
