Book of CoL is about an asexual genderfluid shapeshifting detective and I myself am panromantic asexual so I'm pretty sure it qualifies if you'd like to submit it for the Queer Indie Awards

I'm eligible with CITY OF EXILE this year! It's good for General Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, Best Sequel, and IMO deserves some Best Supporting, Best Villain, and Best Friendship/Platonic Rship.

But please, definitely get your favourite books in the right categories, give them some love!

My dark, romantic Oz urban fantasy STRAW SOUL (pub this year by indie house @gpub.bsky.social) features a subtly transmasc Scarecrow, genderqueer Queen Ozma Tip, gay & ace characters, Norwegian folklore, evil still lurking in Oz, & issues of identity, acceptance, & found family by this queer author!
