Before I get to announcing my most recent publication, I wanted to remind people that Mighty: An Anthology Of Disabled Superheroes is currently open for submissions! We've already gotten several submissions and it just makes me so happy that my weird little idea is actually happening, and more people like me are going to see themselves in superhero media.
Now. Today's story.
Peaches, Wishes, And Something Like Motherhood, available in Let's Get Weird, is my take on the Japanese folktale Momotaro.
It's about the difficulties of building a family when you're in a queer relationship. Especially when the fertility clinic is ground zero for the alien invasion and the world is ending.
But it's also about hope and making life find a way even if it doesn't seem possible. It's about holding on and letting go.
It's about lesbians raising a baby alien they found in the river.
