edit data

Claudie Arseneault is an asexual and aromantic-spectrum writer hailing from the very-French Québec City. Her long studies in biochemistry and immunology often sneak back into her science-fiction, and her love for sprawling casts invariably turns her novels into multi-storylined wonders. The most recent, City of Strife, came out on February 22, 2017! Claudie is a founding member of The Kraken Collective and is well-known for her involvement in solarpunk, her database of aro and ace characters in speculative fiction, and her unending love of squids.

Remembering Corey Alexander – Online Guestbook

Hello friends,

There is now a simple online guestbook where you may share memories and stories of Corey Alexander. You will find it here.

I am hosting the link here so that we may have something a little more permanent than social media. It is nothing fancy, in truth, but it is what I found that was free, did not make claims to any content posted, or demand information I either did not want to inp

“When I meet a woman who attracts me, I prefer women,' she said. 'And when I meet a man who attracts me, I prefer men.'

'You mean you haven't made up your mind yet.'

'I mean exactly what I said. I told you you wouldn't like it. Most people who ask want me definitely on one side or the other.”
