Has there been a feminist retelling of Grendel’s mother yet?

No. No no no no. Any parent asking a school librarian to remove books featuring LGBT+ stories and representation should be ashamed as should any librarian agreeing to it. You do not get to erase us or our stories. thebookseller.com/news/school-li…

I've written a medieval Fantasy book and am doing a Kickstarter for first and limited editions. Here's the page link to register your interest.kickstarter.com/projects/moder…

I've been asked for cover ideas for a book and I'm a bit stumped because there are tons of amazing ones, so I'm asking you lot. What are your fav Historical Fiction book covers from recent years? What would make you pick up a HF book these days? #WritingCommunity
