It’s often been hard to find YA science fiction and fantasy with LGBT characters, but this year there’s been something of an explosion of SF/F with LGBT characters. By “explosion” I mean I’ve found 10 novels of SF/F with LGBT main characters published by mainstream publishers. I haven’t been keeping track of SF/F LGBT YA over the years, but it seems to me that this is definitely an increase.

Among them is her own recent release, Inheritance, and it looks great!
You can find her full post here: go there for the list and links to the authors. I’m gonna check out these reads, and I encourage you to do the same; let the publishers know we’d like to see more of the same!
