I can’t choose between science fiction and fantasy, so I write space operas with a bit of both. https://authorlillianjames.com

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

I’m grateful to be part of an accepting, open-minded family - a rarity in the South. But since I’m not pissing off any bigots today, I’ll have to wear one of my protest shirts tomorrow with inflammatory sayings like “equal rights are good” or “women are people, too” and piss off bigots in public.
Pissing off bigots at family holidays is good, actually. 🤗
