Conversion Dysphoria Blues is out now!

The long wait is over! Join Nolan and Tallis as they tackle the corrupt system of Garden City to secure a future for cyborgs everywhere.

Enjoy a scene from the novel:

Nolan crossed the street to the park, which was brightly lit even at this time of night. He wandered over to the railings, looking at the beautiful city awash with color, its skyscrapers blinking neon blue and pink. In the old world down below, that might be considered a waste, but Garden City was sustainable, the first green city to be floated in the skies above the United States. The river roaring below him was clean enough to drink. Tallis wouldn't remember the world below. He'd probably been born here, in Garden City, and he hadn't had to endure the grim effects of global warming and environmental pollution.

"I still have doubts, sometimes," Tallis continued, seeming to shrug off Nolan's dismissal as he followed him. He stood next to Nolan, his shock of blue hair sticking to his face with the rain. His eyes were only for Nolan, the environment something he clearly took for granted. "Is that what you wanted to hear? If I was human, I'd probably have kids by now. A wife. A career. A normal life, like they show in commercials. Then I dig deeper and I realize I never wanted any of that stuff anyway. Still, just the thought that those doors have been closed forever—it's a lot, sometimes. Thinking about who I might have been if I'd made different choices. It's okay to mourn the life you might have lived, though. It's a process."

"You're starting to sound a lot like a Regretter yourself," Nolan observed, raising an eyebrow. "Sure you're not gonna become a so-called 'human rights' activist?" It felt only fair to fire that one back at him, even in jest.

"Never." Tallis shrugged, taking the remark at face value. "I think everyone has the same thoughts. If I hadn't made the leap, I'd be wondering what my life would be like if I had. A round peg trying to fit in a square hole for all time. Longing for all those lost years I could have spent in this body."
