Hi! I’m a big fan of your work! They’re intimate but with no sense of hiding or shame, and that is something feels so rare to see! It helps that they’re babes lol
Do you have any specific inspirations or any fantasy recommendations? I’m getting more into the fantasy genre but I’m yet to find a fantasy book with a good gay story line. Yet you seem to be nailing it

Thank youuuuu! I’m nailing it because my life is a gay fantasy :P JK, I don’t really have any one specific inspiration but I do have lots of influences from movies, tv, video games, books, music, life etc.
Lifetime fantasy fan here, I gots what you neeeeed. Unfortunately, and although the times are definitely changin for the better, there is a big lack of explicitly queer storylines in a lot of fantasy. It’s one of my big motivations with the whole gay fantasia thing. I wanna create those fantasy stories I longed for as a teenager.
Like I said, things are getting better and I know there are authors out there doing exactly that especially in the YA fantasy corner. I’ve only read a few but erm yeah here are some of my gay fantasy recs:
Lynn Flewelling - Nightrunner series
Samantha Shannon - The Priory of the Orange Tree
Lev Grossman - Magicians series
Rainbow Rowell - Carry On series
F.T. Lukens - So This Is Ever After
Sarah Rees Brennan - In Other Lands
T.J. Klune - The House In The Cerulean Sea
Gay nerds throw your recs in the comments! x
