There’s a very specific kind of jealousy that isn’t about the girl…
it’s about the boy you wish you could be.

That’s Alex’s story. That was my story too.

Here are the sketches for my 3 covers.

Thoughts before the illustrator moves to the next step?

I’m working with an artist to kick my covers up a notch and lean into a slightly different style. Here are the cover samples for The Fall Between.

What do you think?

Being misgendered was freeing and awkward at the same time depending on who was there.

Anyone relate?

Ever had a thought you couldn’t shake, even though it terrified you?

That’s how I felt when I first learned there were other people like me.

For anyone who has ever questioned their gender, loves someone who has, or is just curious.

🌊 Alex’s story starts at The Shoreline.

It’s a prequel to my first novel. It’s an innocent look into the inner world of a teenager whose given gender doesn’t fit.

In The Fall Between, Alex faces college. New school, new classes, new friends. But will a fresh start make transitioning genders any easier?

You’ll have to read to find out!

Tired of the lie that every time someone does something awful, they “must be trans.” We are not unhinged villains roaming the streets every Friday night.

This narrative puts real lives at risk. Please stop.

We didn’t do it.

This is the first TJ Klune series I have read. Wow. Highly recommend.

Great writing. Found family. A peak into foster care. And diversity is represented as well.

Add this to your TBR.

Transitioning is full of so many messy moments but also some great ones.

When you come across a kind and accepting person, it makes the harder moments just a bit easier.

The Fall Between comes out on 8/31.

Follow along my transgender journey during my Freshman year in college.

Some of it’s funny, some exciting, and some heartbreaking.

I appreciate all the support so far! 🥰

A coming-of-age LGBTQ romance about identity, first love, and falling for your best friend. Perfect for fans of transgender fiction and Heartstopper.

RIP AOL. They officially shut down after 40 years next month. 🤯

They should win some sort of award for changing our teenage years with AIM.

Transitioning as a #transgender person is full of awkward and painful moments. But those moments test and make you stronger on the other side.

There is such a freedom to starting a new chapter in life. Do you agree?

Don’t you hate that feeling of embarrassment like everyone is looking at you? It’s even worse when you are 15!

It was always so awkward when someone wouldn’t respect your name or pronouns when you are transitioning. Literally makes you want to disappear.

I think overhearing insults and being made fun of may be more painful than someone just being mean to your face.

I’m having one of those months where it seems like things just keep going wrong. Before I can fix the first thing, the second thing blows up.

Anyone else relate?

I’m so close to having the top spot in transgender fiction for The Shoreline!

If you have Kindle Unlimited, would you give it a chance and help me get the best seller badge?

It was awkward on the first day of class walking up to the professor and giving them my preferred name. What was worse was when one refused to use it and gave me 0’s on any assignments turned in without my deadname on it.

Is it better now?
