Hey nerds! Erica Kudisch here
promoting my novel DON'T FEED THE TROLLS, a genderqueer romp through internet drama.
And if you keep up with the blog tour and its bonus DLC, there's a $50 prize
package achievement for you to unlock. Have fun!
Gaming while female is enough to incur
the wrath of the dude-bros, and they’ve come for me. Instead of fighting back,
I’ve created an alternate account. Male name, male pronouns. And I’ve met this
girl. I’ve always liked girls, and Laura’s adorable and smart and never gives
up, and she likes me back. Or rather, she likes the man I’m pretending to be.
But I can’t tell her I’m a woman without the mob coming after her too.
And besides: I might not be a woman,
not really.
The truth is, I don’t know what I am
anymore. I’ve spent my whole life being told how I’m supposed to act and what
I’m supposed to be, but none of it feels right. And my lie is starting to feel
truer than anything I’ve ever been.
There’s a convention coming up, but
the closer it gets, the more I have to choose: lie or fight. But if I don’t
stand my ground as a girl, am I letting the haters win?
Then again, those aren’t the only two
ways to live.
Available from Riptide Publishing and Amazon.
About Erica Kudisch:
Erica Kudisch lives, writes, sings,
and often trips over things in New York City. When not in pursuit of about five
different creative vocations, none of which pay her nearly enough, you can
usually find her pontificating about dead gay video games, shopping for
thigh-high socks, and making her beleaguered characters wait forty thousand
words before they get in the sack.
In addition to publishing novellas and
short stories as fantastika-focused alter-ego Kaye Chazan (What Aelister Found
Here and The Ashkenazi Candidate, both available at Candlemark & Gleam)
Erica is responsible for the BDSM musical Dogboy & Justine, and serves as
creative director and co-founder of Treble Entendre Productions.
She also has issues with authority.
And curses too fucking much.

Congrats and thanks for the post. This book sounds great. I haven't read many genderqueer stories but I like to broaden out, and I like the framing around gaming. - Purple Reader,
