If you are on social media or watch the news, you know things are rough out there. We are seeing brazen attacks on our Constitution, as well as unfounded attacks against everyone from the immigrant community to the LGBTQ+ community. If you are like me, you want to do something — anything — to try to make things just a little better.

Lots of folks online are emphasizing the need and desire to buy books from a diverse array of authors, including queer authors. WELL YOU ARE IN LUCK! There is a book publisher in North Carolina that, among other things, vocally supports #LGBTQ authors and the broader LGBTQ community: Gold Dust Publishing. (Yes, they are also MY publisher.)

Here’s how you can help: Sign up here to be the FIRST to know when the 2025 catalog of books are available for pre-order. There’s something for everybody — horror, mystery, fantasy, paranormal, and more. (You won’t see mine because it is likely coming out in 2026.) Y’all, I am RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED about the books coming out this year — you can see a full list below. I am particularly excited about a story collection where profits will support The Trevor Project, a group that provides crisis support for LGBTQ+ youth.

And it’s not only books! By signing up, you will also be the first to have access to Gold Dust goodies, including t-shirts, pins, and even Funko’s!

I can’t wait to get my hands on these books. I hope you join me in supporting authors & a publisher who stand up for everybody’s dignity. Thanks in advance for your support, and keep fighting the good fight. Here are the books that are available for pre-order:
