Short description
To the rest of the world, Dean is a teenage girl—an awkward, boyish teenage girl, but a girl nonetheless. Meeting Amy changes everything. A prequel to his critically-acclaimed novel Refuse, Elliott DeLine’s second book is about the prevailing myths surrounding bullying and abuse, and the hardships of being young and transgender without a community or a roadmap.

Here’s an interview I did with Bodies Of Work Magazine. Morty and I covered pretty much everything: My new book I Know Very Well How I Got My Name, my novel Refuse, working with The NY Times, self-publishing, the Morrissey thing, Syracuse, the state of transgender fiction, and my general lack of interest in connecting with other human beings.
Maybe I can make a shorter version of “highlights.” Stay tuned. Thanks again to Morty Diamond!
