Smashwords Interview

What are you working on next?
A dark academia mm romance with dragons, a third installment in the Oak King Holly King series, and a solar fantasy retelling of Aubrey & Lindsey on my Patreon.
How often do you write orientations or genders outside of your comfort zone? How do you get the details right?
Straight people show up in the background of all my books. Being raised by straight parents in straight culture, I like to think I have a knack for the little details of straight society. (Some of my best friends are even straight!)
