Author Interview with E. H. Lupton
Introduce yourself!
Hi, I’m Em. I write urban fantasy/queer historical romance under the name E. H. Lupton. My debut novel, which is probably the most widely known, was Dionysus in Wisconsin. It was shortlisted for a Lambda Literary Award in gay romance. Since then, I have written several more books: two starring the same guys (Old Time Religion and Troth) and one starring one of the guy’s younger brother (Lazarus, Home from the War).

Author Interview with G. M. Gray
Introduce yourself!
Hello! I’m G. M. Gray and I write primarily science fiction and fantasy. I bounce between subgenres, but my work tends to be queer normative and character-driven with an emphasis on world-building and societal issues. “G. M. Gray” is in fact a pen name, and it’s an open secret the G. M. stands for “Gun Metal.” Now is as good a time as any to mention I’m a huge fan of the Metal Gear Solid video game franchise!
