March 31, 2025: Today is “Trans Day of Visibility” To support that, and my trans friends, I am offering this story, which I wrote in 1998 for an anthology edited by Lisa Rowe Fraustino called “DIRTY LAUNDRY: Stories about Family Secrets” It is, to the best of my knowledge, the first Trans-positive story ever published for the YA Market. You can access it at the link below . . .

Leaving some love for this post and gratitude for your support of TDOV! I realize it’s a bit late, but as my friends and I were talking about our favorite books from childhood and Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher came up for several of us – I figured I’d look you up and find that fabled ending to the Land of the Unicorns series. So pleasantly surprised to have found this post too!! Not sure there are good words for “thanks for having shaped my childhood imagination for the better” but – thanks <3
Thank you! I loved your books as a kid and would escape in them to be my weird little self. During the early days of COVID, your books were frequently read to my (trans) daughter.
Now that she’s older, she’s starting to read them to her little brother. Thank you for your support and being a consistently good person from my childhood through my kids.
