I say that because Outcast Press recently announced the publication of my new novel POSER as a part of their 2022 line-up!
I’m excited beyond belief, of course because I’ve found someone who, along with me, believes in the story enough to help me bring it out into the world--into the light of day!
Not only that, but they’re glad that this will be a series of novels (as am I), and the next two installments of the series, the Eucalyptus Lane Novels, will follow.
Since I had some trouble placing POSER in a neat little genre box, I was concerned that this could make the road to publication quite difficult. Outcast Press specializes in transgressive fiction and dirty realism, and when I read some of their posts on Twitter about exactly what transgressive fiction is, I had an ah-ha moment.
According to several sources, transgressive fiction features “characters who feel confined by the norms of society, so they break out in unusual” and often “illicit” ways. I have several characters who do that to some extent, so pretty soon POSER had found a home!
I'll be working some more on POSER this fall as Outcast's editor and I get it ready for a March publication date. In the meantime, you can check out an excerpt on an earlier post from last March, and I look forward to a cover art reveal sometime in the near future.
Cheers!
