Alexander (they/he) is an autistic, queer, transgender writer with a goal to join other authors in breaking 2SLGBTQ+ from the confines of the “coming out” narrative as the only queer narrative.

This book really surprised me. It came through at work and the subtitle immediately had my interest. But I must not have read the plot synopsis on the back cover because it was not at all what I was expecting. That ended up being a good thing, though ...more
