Today’s Fast Five guest is author J.L. Henker!
1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I'm a retired and live in northern california with my wife and a yellow tabby with attitude. I love to bake, explore nature and spend time with my spouse and granddaughter. I used to be a used/rare book buyer for a local independent bookstore.
2. What do you have out there now that readers can enjoy?
Short stories in several anthologies and a prequel novella (Daughter of the Dispossessed) that introduces a main characeter in my novel coming out this fall.
3. When you are procrastinating from your writing, what's something you've been into lately that's keeping you from your work?
It's spring and time to get out hiking in the woods.
4. How have you been using your voice to make the world a better place?
All writing is political and I use it to amplify women and magarginalized communities (GLBTQ+) communities in my characters. I'm a loudly out lesbian and in vocal support or my GLBTQ+ (expecially trans) friends.
5. Where can readers find you and your work? [links to books, websites, socials]
