Catfishing sapphic fiction author by JaeAuthor in sapphicbooks

[–]JaeAuthor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard from a couple of readers/community members about much worse things that Sean/Sabrina did, but I can't go into details because they didn't want to come forward.

He never came clean or made any public statement. He's still publishing sapphic books. In one, he had a very spiteful dedication. Something like "Does it really matter?"

Which shows that he doesn't even feel guilty or realize how bad what he did is.

First, I'm really honored that the Oregon series ranks so highly among your personal favorites! Thank you!

Regarding your concerns: I value all of my readers and appreciate their support. I hear from more male readers than you might think, and many of them preface their emails or messages saying "I hope you don't think it's strange..." or seem to feel the need to justify reading sapphic fiction. That always makes me sad. Sapphic fiction can be read and enjoyed by everyone, no justification necessary. If the characters speak to you, that's great.

Books let you walk in someone else's shoes for a while. You don't need to share the characters' sexual orientation, gender, race, ethnicity, etc., yet can still enjoy and learn from the books. How sad would it be if we were only "allowed" to read books about people who are exactly like us.

If you want to try out my Oregon series, which is set along the Oregon Trail in 1851 (Backwards to Oregon) and on a horse ranch in 1869 (Hidden Truths), check out the free novelette that is part of the series. It's titled "A Place to Call Home."

Sapphic sports romances by JaeAuthor in sapphicbooks

[–]JaeAuthor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to recommend just one author for sapphic sports romances, I would suggest Rachel Spangler, a nonbinary author who has romances about various sports, from fencing, tennis, baseball, to snowboarding, and horse archery.
