KID WOLF AND KRAKEN BOY wins the ActuSF Award for Alternate History.

I’m a winner, baby! The French translation of KID WOLF AND KRAKEN BOY took home the ActuSF Award for Alternate History! I wrote a book about how two men in 1929 daring to love each other could change the course of history, and I’m profoundly moved that it resonated with the award jury.

And I am so grateful to my French publisher Le Bélial’, and my incredible translator Michel Pagel!

This award goes out to all the people who lovingly (& not so lovingly 😅) called me out for the doomed queer love stories in my previous work, & challenged me to write something unapologetically joyful. As a reader & a writer I love a heartbreak tale, but joy and hope are ALSO essential.

And bien sur it goes out to my magnificent husband, who taught me all I know about how love can change the world.
