The Next Big Thing in Transgender Literature

Nevada is the darkly comedic story of Maria Griffiths, a young trans woman living in New York City and trying to stay true to her punk values while working retail. When she finds out her girlfriend has lied to her, the world she thought she'd carefully built for herself begins to unravel, and Maria sets out on a journey that will most certainly change her forever.

 Imogen Binnie is the author of the zines "The Fact That It’s Funny Doesn’t Make It A Joke" and "Stereotype Threat". Additionally, her work has been anthologized in the forthcoming volume of transgender fiction The Collection, to be released in Fall 2012. She is currently a monthly contributor to Maximum Rocknroll and has previously written for Aorta Magazine, The Skinny and PrettyQueer.com. She lives with her girlfriend in Portland, Maine and writes about books at keepyourbridgesburning.com. Nevada is her first novel.

A. Raymond Johnson is a writer, DJ, shiatsuist, and karaoke aficionado who recently located to western North Carolina and will be reading from his short story, "Tammy Faye", featured in The Collection (Topside Press, 2012).  ARaymondJohnson.com
