Perhaps you like litigious queer ghosts? My new story has one of those.

There's more than meets the eye to most stories. Audacia Ray's I Will Haunt Brink House Before You Silence Me knows this....

Happy to have been part of developing these bills with smarties @antiviolence. Wild to think that 8 years ago today, I was at Kings County Family Court, getting an order of protection against my abuser.

[Council Member Tiffany Cabán (D22) @CabanD22]

It passed! By a vote of 45-6, the Council has sent the #SupportSurvivors package to the Mayor for signing!

A declaration that, in NYC, we don’t just punish people for violence, we #SupportSurvivors.

[Audacia Ray (they/she) @AudaciaRay]

@SC_Parent Thank you!

New story up this week, in which I do a hardboiled detective thing, but also with queers, intimate partner violence, and all cops being bastards.
