Trapped in a Box
Jen hated being a girl. She detested dresses and had no interest in typical female toys. Most importantly, she longed to shed the stench of femininity off of her. Unfortunately, she was the daughter her mother dreamed of having. Her mother constantly dressed her according to the female fashion police. She would send Jen to elementary school like a little princess, but Jen would return resembling an orphan from the musical Annie.

Debuting as a queer creative writer
Intro Hi everyone! Being a debuting novelist who is also not an English speaker, I am very excited to see my first work finally being published as an ebook. As a queer person from Kazakhstan, I never could have imagined that this would be a possibility for me one day in the future. Findings professional proofreaders and editors as well as gathering feedback from my friends was a long and challenging process, even though the novella itself is rather short :) Yes, finally, it is being released and gives me some hope that I can share my story with a broader circle of the international audience.
