H.E. EDGMON was born in the Deep South but has had many homes, dropped out of school to do gay stuff, and is at least a little feral. In both their writing and daily life, they aim to center the voices of Indigenous people, trans people, and survivors of trauma. It is always their goal to make fascists uncomfortable. They have an eccentric little family of their own design, several very sensitive pets, and a lot of opinions. They can most often be found on Twitter, @heedgmon.
☆ "Edgmon's ebullient debut depicts a variety of trans perspectives
with tender sensitivity, and quintessential walking disaster
Wyatt's self-deprecating humor, punk glee, and surprisingly level
head are vividly lovable... Readers will adore this
revolution-tinged celebration of trans joy, which refreshingly
builds its conflict without jumping for trauma tropes." -Publishers
Weekly, Starred Review "This romantically charged, anti-fascist
fantasy presents a diverse cast of queer characters... The
page-turning resolution promises an irresistible duology closer to
come." -Kirkus Reviews "A complex fantasy debut, rich in nuanced
LGBTQIA+ representation and timely social commentary, perfect for
fans of Adam Silvera, Holly Black, and Rin Chupeco." -School
Library Journal "Edgmon's debut is a spellbinding duology starter,
ultimately driven by its core cast of complicated and lovable
characters, who will keep readers laughing with deftly written,
witty dialogue that never veers into cliché, and a richly layered
world that feels incredibly real, with high-stakes fascism,
corruption, and oppression. Readers will be left eager for the
sequel to this fiery stunner of a fantasy." -Booklist
