Infos

Harmony Ink Press is delighted and honored to showcase the short fiction of some of the best up-and-coming authors working in the LGBT genre. The stories in this third volume of Harmonious Hearts represent the winners of our Young Author Challenge—a group of talented writers between the ages of fourteen and twenty-one. 
The stories in this anthology are as diverse as their creators and range from the speculative to snapshots of everyday life for people growing up in a society in flux. They confront many issues facing young adults, and they celebrate the joys of this sometimes rocky period of transition: friendship, loyalty, first love, and learning to feel comfortable in one's own skin. These experiences are universal, and thanks to the courage and talent of authors such as these, young people of all gender identities, expressions, and orientations are starting to see themselves included. Everyone deserves a story that speaks to them, and in these pages, they'll find that story.

Caleb Andrews—I Am Logan

Autor

Latitude Brown is a stone butch lesbian and a great person who makes great art. They like books, filmmaking, and you. Someday they would like to be a librarian.  Facebook: www.facebook.com/latitudebrown Twitter: @icetastrophe Frisk Gillespie is a twenty-year-old writer living in Canada. She spends most of her time reading fantasy novels and fan fiction, watching children's cartoons, going rock climbing, and playing video games on easy mode. She has a totally professional diagnosis of "too gay to function," which makes existing around cute girls quite a difficult task. She also has an actual chronic pain condition, but with treatment she's able to keep up a part-time job, which gives her money to spoil her girlfriend. This is her third time being published in Harmonious Hearts. Irene Grant is sixteen years old, born and raised in Northern Ontario, Canada. She's been homeschooled most of her life, but recently experienced a couple of years of school in grades nine and ten. She has since gone back to homeschooling so she could pursue her first love—dance. Irene is a very creative person who loves expressing herself through art. Besides dancing every chance she gets, she loves to write, draw, and paint. She started dancing when she was just three years old and has been dancing ever since. Irene joined Earthdancers when she was nine. Earthdancers is a student-run, nonprofit organization that puts on a performance once a year to raise money for environmental groups like Friends of the Earth, VETAC, The Junction Creek Stewardship Committee, and Wild at Heart. Irene hopes to take her dance all the way. She would love to go to Toronto Dance Theatre to study dance. Irene is also a self-diagnosed geek. She loves to watch TV shows, movies, play video games, and read books and fan fiction. The list of fandoms is way too long to go into here. Music is very important to Irene, whether she's playing the violin, guitar, piano, singing, or just listening to music. She has a very eclectic style and will listen to almost any genre. She also has one brother (who is often a nuisance), but she loves him very much. Another thing she loves is cats. She currently doesn't have any but tolerates her mom's dog. Xoe Juliani is an American writer living in the Netherlands. She started writing in the seventh grade and never really stopped. At any given moment, you're likely to find her either reading or writing—and if she's not, she's probably wishing she were. She's also been known to detach from her computer and spend time with her family, but only rarely, as they would undoubtedly tell you. She is currently working toward a bachelor's degree in Literature and Creative Writing from Antioch University, since she's not really one for practicality. Her work has previously been published in Sci-Fi Romance Quarterly. She tends to write almost exclusively about LGBT+ characters, although her family does often remind her that straight people do exist too. Blog: xoewrites.tumblr.com
