We are excited to have bestselling author TJ Klune in conversation with the Big Gay Fiction Podcast to chat about publishing, writing, queer identity, book-banning, being neurodiverse, and the upcoming sequel to
The House in the Cerulean Sea.
TJ Klune is the
New York Times and
USA Today bestselling, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of
The House in the Cerulean Sea,
The Extraordinaries, and more. Being queer himself, Klune believes it's important—now more than ever—to have accurate, positive queer representation in stories.
The
Big Gay Fiction Podcast is for avid readers and passionate fans of queer romance fiction. In each episode, Jeff and Will bring you exclusive author interviews, book recommendations, and explore the latest in queer pop culture. Based out of Roseville, CA they have hosted many major LGBTQIA writers, including TJ Klune more times than any other guest, and we are excited to unite them for the first time in person. You won't want to miss it!
