“This is the most lesbian book I have ever read.” - @mia.arias.tsang

I wrote this book for the lesbians. For the lesbian I was in my 20’s. For the girls and gays and theys still figuring it out. I have long been a fan of @autostraddle, and I absolutely cried reading this review on the train earlier today. I am so honored to have SATURN RETURNING featured; to be read so closely by a friend like Mia is a gift. While this piece is absolutely a highlight of my publication journey so far, what’s meant even more is the writer friends I’ve collected along the way, something I’d wanted for many years. This experience would not be the same without them, and I cannot wait to tell you all about their books, too. by @kimnarby
