Girl Kissing, Muses, and Furries with Autumn Wolff

Werewolves, mermaids, bunny goddesses, vampires, and plenty of girl kissing...author Autumn Wolff has your magical reading needs covered with both cozy and spicy trans lesbian fiction. Autumn (she/her) joins Moth (they/them) and editor Aurora Foo (she/her) for a talk that runs the gamut from furries to making a living as a writer. Autumn's Books: https://linktr.ee/autumnwolff [https://linktr.ee/autumnwolff] Autumn's Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/autumnwolff [https://www.patreon.com/autumnwolff] Art by Clover: https://bsky.app/profile/cloverpatchmouse.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/cloverpatchmouse.bsky.social] Arra's Music: https://demongrrl.com [https://demongrrl.com] Autumn Wolff is a Mainer, bub. 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.
