The book is live. You might not be able see me, but I am doing my happy dance! :-)

Queering the Way: Navigating Leadership Ethics from the Margins is available for purchase today — June 4th, 2026.

There are three things I’d ask of you today, if you’re willing to support my book on its journey.

#1 — Buy the book on Amazon first

Coordinated purchases in the first few days help with author ranking — which creates visibility beyond my immediate network.

I’m in the “LGBTQ+ Studies” and “Leadership” categories. Getting into the top 10 in the first week would matter, not just for the credential, but for the reach it creates. So yes, in all honest, this is a huge deal! :-)

Order on Amazon (Canada) — $6.99 CAD

Order on Amazon (USA) — $4.99 USD

Note that the ebook is available worldwide, so simply search for my name in you’re in a different country.

#2 — Leave an honest review

Once you’ve read your copy, please leave an honest review on Amazon. It doesn’t have to be lengthy. It just needs to be genuine. Even a short review can take less than three minutes, but it makes a huge difference to how well the book is received.

#3 — Or buy directly from me

If you'd prefer to purchase directly — and receive the EPUB edition with a PDF available on request — the book is $4.99 CAD through June 11th.

Optional — Tell one person

Do you know someone who is doing the work this book is about, someone who would genuinely benefit from reading it? A personal recommendation from someone they trust is worth more than any marketing I could do.

That’s everything. No elaborate ask. No manufactured excitement.

This is a book I’ve been working on for almost a decade. I’m so pleased to finally have it in the world — and with a genuine invitation for you to read it.

With gratitude,

— Darren
