She and her wife live near the ocean and consume more pizza than four turtles mutated by ooze. Autumn may not have the biggest living space, and it may never have enough bookshelves, but it’s home.

Queers with Pointy Ears with David Brandt

What makes good queer fantasy?

Brandt (he/him) is a pansexual nonbinary author settling on the unceded territory of a Coast Salish nation (southwest BC). He grew up on the land of the Erie and Kaskaskia (suburbs of Cleveland, OH) and earned a BFA in Digital Art he only uses to format his books and color some lineart. Writing was in his fingers from an early age, but whether or not it’s been worth it is up to you. Inspired by the video games and anime series of his youth and all the aspects of himself he was denied from his conservative Christian upbringing, D.T. is determined to now give his characters the joyous queer lives he (and many others) were (and are being, more by the day) denied.

Queering Cyberpunk Noir with Tris Husband

What's it like to write in an open-source setting created by other authors? Tris Husband (she/her) joins Moth to talk about her new novel, open-source settings, queering intellectual property, and the power of trans lesbian voices. Bio: Tris Husband is a disabled transsexual lesbian who writes about utopia, space, gender and very large guns through the lens of queer women. When she isn’t writing, she can often be found covered in cats or lying in bed like a Victorian woman with a fainting disorder. Buy "Keeping the Peace" on Itch or Amazon About the book Keeping The Peace Akakios, child of Diodotos, wasn’t the most reliable friend Isadora ever had. Xe tended to drop in unannounced, never really cared about what was going on in her life, and seemed to only ever want to drink at their favorite bar before disappearing again. So when xe showed up on her doorstep with a gun in xer hand, claiming that xer wife Pelagia had just been murdered, Isadora didn't really know what to do. With Akakios now dead for a crime xe may not have committed, and everyone from the Archon of Elysium to ruthless gangsters to xer dead wife's family telling her to drop it, Isadora tried to just keep her head down, throwing herself into her work as a independent detective and entangling herself in the petty drama of one of Elysium's most exclusive communities. Unfortunately, if what she wanted was to avoid confronting Akakios' dark past, the Valley was probably the last place in Elysium Isadora should have been.
