I’m a bigender film critic for Screen Anarchy and blogTO, new to fiction. I’m writing both novels and screenplays — stories that explore genderqueer euphoria, pop culture, and the end of the world. In 2020, when we were all stuck indoors, I published a book of essays about trauma and survival narratives in George Miller’s 2015 film, Mad Max: Fury Road.
Enneaka is imaginative fiction for queer adult readers.
Enneaka is a 12-year-old queer girl whose worlds keep dying around her, a walking child of the apocalypse. Her narrator, an adult cisgender burnout, is playing catch-up to all the things he’s spent a lifetime burying. As Enneaka tries to save her Mirror City from destruction (she fails), or become a scavenger on a flooded wasteland (she dies), the author is writing pop culture essays about girls in video games and trying to work out why a piece of him, always, felt like it was missing.
