    Girl Kissing, Muses, and Furries with Autumn Wolff

And she’s a woman of few simple interests. When she’s not writing stories about girls kissing each other, Autumn is likely reading stories about girls kissing each other, playing Dungeons and Dragons, running, or watching a movie. She and her wife live near the ocean and consume more pizza than four turtles mutated by ooze. Autumn may not have the biggest living space, and it may never have enough bookshelves, but it’s home.

Brandt (he/him) is a pansexual nonbinary author settling on the unceded territory of a Coast Salish nation (southwest BC). He grew up on the land of the Erie and Kaskaskia (suburbs of Cleveland, OH) and earned a BFA in Digital Art he only uses to format his books and color some lineart. Writing was in his fingers from an early age, but whether or not it’s been worth it is up to you.
