Ep 108: Erotic Science Fiction MM Novel excerpt by author Gabriel Hargrave and author interview. Welcome to season 2 of the podcast! Gabriel reads chapter seven from his novel The Orchid and the Lion, which is also available to read on his website at https://gabrielhargravewrites.com/ After his amazing narration, we have an epically amazing chat about sex, life as a queer person and author, transgender challenges and triumphs, plus the self-publishing industry. Listen to find out why he chose to self-pub as an indie author rather than trying to get his book traditionally published. We discuss the state of acceptance for all, the hardships still encountered, and how best to write about erotica. Gabriel is also an editor for hire.  As authors, editing is a must! Hear Gabriel's take on why editing is paramount for all authors and especially self-published authors. Visit his website for more information: https://gabrielhargravewrites.com/ The Orchid and the Lion is a kinky, sensual novel about love, self-acceptance, and fighting for what you believe in.
