Goodreads asked Autumn Reinhardt-Simpson:

What are you currently working on?

Autumn Reinhardt-Simpson I'm working right now on a book tentatively titled Theology and Reproductive Justice: Why Reproductive Dignity Matters in the Kindom of God. Yeah, that's not a typo. Kindom is a word we feminazi theologians use to make kingdom not only more inclusive of females but also as a way to flatten the hierarchy associated with monarchy.

Aaaaanyway, some people might be confused about my writing this book. After all, I wrote a book about nonreligious ceremonies! But, to clear things up a bit, I am what is called a post-theist, for those who like neat labels. That means that while I'm someone who operates without supernatural beliefs, I am so bored by the ultimately unanswerable question about god's existence or nonexistence that...well, I guess I'm just bored by it. I am not theistic (again, if you like the labels) but I am also a huge fan of how myths and religions tell us something deeper about what it means to be human. I think that if your only concern is whether, for instance, something in the bible actually happened in history, then you've missed the point entirely, and that goes for the religious and nonreligious alike.

So, all that aside, I am also working on a book of essays on feminist interpretations of the Hebrew scriptures as well as on a feminist interpretation of the Divine Office.
