This week we are joined by Tagan Shepard! Tagan Shepard (she/her) is the author of eleven books of sapphic fiction, including the 2019 Goldie winner Bird on a Wire. When not writing about extraordinary women loving other extraordinary women, she can be found playing video games, renovating the fixer-upper house her wife convinced her to buy, or sitting in DC metro traffic. She lives in Northern Virginia with her very patient wife and two ridiculous cats. www.taganshepard.com

In this episode, we discuss growing up in rural Virginia, “code switching” to be friends with everyone, being a storyteller, gender expression, being a womens soccer fan, and so much more! You don’t want to miss our discussion about why Tagan wrote her first book and the importance of sapphic romance novels. Give this episode a listen!
