I am taking a break from my own writing to share how proud I am for my partner, Taylor Tracy (
) because she can finally share that she sold a book! And, actually, a second book!!Murray Out of Water is a love letter to the ocean. It’s about the pain and destructiveness of natural disasters. It’s about making your found family and finding the queer community, when you need it the most. The attitudes of some characters and their bigoted fears have unfortunately become more and more relevant since this was first written, which is why it is so exciting that it was picked up and will be going through some fantastic edits before hitting bookstores next summer. I love it so much and I cannot wait to read the final draft when it exists.
And then there is a whole other awesome book on the way the year after that…
Tay and I met on Twitter as musical theatre and book enthusiasts and became much more than just writer friends—we were best friends. I’ve been by her side through the ups and downs of writing and publishing, well before we were even dating and beginning our life together. Writing conversations (we had a great discussion about her edit letter!) are always magical. She inspires me every day to follow my dreams. I am so excited to go on this journey with her (driving her to events and bookstores, lol). Please join me in celebrating!
