Hah! Shiro! Alas, this is in it’s own unique world. (Check out the maps link on the book’s page). It’s fantasy, but it’s not the same setting as the Emma books.

And thanks. I’ve moved on to full blown excitement for this release 🙂

Thanks, Clare!

That’s the crux of how hearing about the beta reader’s daughter inspired me. I wanted to write this story to hopefully send a positive message that there is nothing wrong with them for who they are. And, as you said, the hateful are the ones in the wrong.

Representation matters, especially when you’re so young, and I’m sure it will help teens struggling with their sexuality to read about it in fiction, and know how they feel isn’t wrong, and that people who judge them are the ones in the wrong.

Good luck with the release!

I for one can’t wait to read it.

p.s. Does Shiro cameo in this? Because I feel like he needs to cameo in everything. Also Tama-chan.
