Genta Sebastian runs with scissors, always laughs without shame, sometimes writes naked, and can’t help dreaming big.

A multiple award-winning author, she sometimes writes Sapphic romances, like the Troublemaker series:

When Butches Cry (2nd ed. rel. August, 2023)as:
A Troublemaker Never Cries
A Troublemaker May Surprise (rel. August, 2023)
A Troublemaker Sometimes Lies (exp. rel. date Nov. 2023)
A Troublemaker in Her Eyes (exp. rel. date May, 2024)

She’s also written two novels for children living in Rainbow Families: Riding the Rainbow (GCLS award winner 2015) for middle-school readers, and A Man’s Man for Young Adults.

She stepped into the horror genre with: We Don’t Say Gay in Tranquility Bay! a trigger-warning horror story with a twist.

I sit and stare at the blank page for a while. Then I get up and run in circles, screaming and shouting. Okay, maybe that part is only in my head.

Then I sit down, put my fingers on the keys, and start with random thoughts. Once the swirly burlies are out of my head, I find I'm good to start something new.

If the block happens while in the middle of a project, I start reading it from the last few completed chapters, or from the start of the story. That usually primes the pump.

Of course, if none of that works, I do the laundry. (less)
