We talked with TJ about their debut novel, Chef's Kiss! We discuss the characters (grumpy/sunshine and golden retriever characters), the decision to have Ray come out later in the book to Simone, and unlearning/re-learning how to be an ally to other queer people even as part of the LGBTQ+ community. We also gush about our love of Luna, hear some sneak peeks of a potential next book, and talk about other fun life things!
