First Wife is my completed Social Science Fiction novel about a detransitioned trans woman entering a political relationship with an alien. It's messy, and bloody, and very much me. It covers themes of lost identity, lying, sex, and solipsism. If that sounds like something you would like, DM me on tumblr and I might be able to send you a copy.
First Wife was written in the period from May 2nd 2022 to November 25th 2022. It was then edited over the course of a few weeks in early 2023. For my postmortem, see here.
Progress: Finished.
I did 3 rounds of letters to groups of about 10 agents per wave. The very limited scope and the complete market disinterest in literary science fiction right now made this ever getting published a complete impossibility, without even getting to the many issues the book has. It's hard to be positive about a project like that. Only one person has actually read it, and she really liked it, but there's a really nasty underlying fear that my shit is just straight up not good. I would absolutely love to get more eyes on it, but I know I don't have the time or energy to self publish it, and even if I did, 99 percent of self published books yadda yadda yadda.
