Here’s a handy guide to all the characters that identify as LGBTQIA+ in my stories, organized by series. In general, I have a lot of queer characters because I think gay rights are very important, and stories are an important part of representation. These lists might have minor spoilers but most of these characters are open about their identities.
I identify as a cis bisexual woman and I have many friends and family members who are also LGBTQIA+. I try to get feedback from many types of people, but I don’t think that there’s a perfect way to represent any group of people. I may make mistakes or my work might not age well as time moves forward. So I’m trying to do my best, but I am open to criticism and welcome the opportunity to learn how to do better. I also share stories by other LGBTQIA+ authors to promote different perspectives.
