Q: We first met on Twitter, talking about stories and fat representation, if I recall. So I create my own princesses and fairies and superhero girls who want to kiss each other. Big-budget SFF only goes there if it wants to kill us, so I’m happier when we’re not even there. Jane Austen movies don’t have ladies sharing romantic moments. Also, it’s a way to hold fast against a universe of m/f, m/f, m/f, nothing but m/f, in most of the genres I care about. What do you love about writing wlw?Ī: Writing f/f or f/f/f gives me an outlet for my sapphic feelings, especially because I’m single. Most of your stories center wlw relationships. Q: It’s incredibly rare to find f/f/f stories, and Eitan’s Chord is one of the few out there. (That doesn’t mean I want to replace her in the sex scene who went where just kind of went with the flow! But her aesthetic and mood is mine, when I’m okay.) I freaking want that dress I designed for her. Q: “Which one of the fairies are you?” Chanukah fairies Latke, Menorah, and Dreidl.
My subcategory of fantasy is that I’m very inspired by growing up without a Disney princess to reflect either my sexuality or my people, but I also write contemporary romance. While I do get deep or serious at times - Queen Shulamit coming to terms with the threat to her country’s economy from agricultural sabotage, in The Olive Conspiracy - for the most part my books are intended to be the story version of a comfort food, of one of those super soft blankets that feel like a cat’s belly (I have one from Bed Bath and Beyond with pumpkins on it!), of that song you pull up on YouTube when you need a safe place.
Q: How would you describe yourself to a new reader just discovering you?Ī: I actually think fellow SFF author Rose Lemberg described me better than I could ever describe myself: queer Jewish candy.
I was lucky enough to get a chance to ask a few questions of the author! I adored Eitan’s Chord, the queer Chanukah erotica rerelease by Shira Glassman in which an trio of queer women Chanukah fairies (including a butch fairy!) have sex to create the energy to grant the wishes of a sweet trans man/cis woman couple.
