Romantasy is increasingly popular these days, and while this blend of genres predates Sarah J. Maas, the author is partially responsible for it blowing up the way it has. Ten years after the first book’s release, Maas’ A Court of Thorns & Roses series remains one of the most popular on BookTok. It’s one that readers consider the standard and often compare new releases to. ACOTAR isn’t the only one of Maas’ fantasy series to gain mainstream attention either.

As a writer of fantasy, I get to imagine so many things that don’t exist in reality. Entire worlds, entire peoples, entire languages. All of that is up to me and the strength of my keyboard. Being queer myself, I decided to make a world where all characters should be presumed queer, unless otherwise stated. That is the world of The Halfling Saga.

In elementary school, when it was my class’ turn to attend the Scholastic Book Fair, I would leap out of my seat and run to the front of the room to claim that first spot in line, leg bouncing wildly until the teacher led us into the gymnasium. I was a voracious reader and could spot books the school library already had with the merest glance.
