This is going to be:

📚 a thread of books by Black intersex authors 📚

because I could not find one!
I have read all these books (one of them I'm reading right now)

I do not want to pick and choose, as a non-Black person, to tell you which ones are "good", so this is a list where I aim for completeness.

Tbh I think these books are all good!
Also, I need to note that completeness has its limits:

1. A lot of intersex authors of any race are out as other letters of QUILTBAG+ but not as intersex. I can only add people who are out.

2. Some intersex authors aren't sharing their race or ANY other aspect of their identity
Intersex authors are by and large more private individuals than probably any other group in the acronym.

(This might be why I couldn't find a list)

Anyway! On to the books! All these books have authors who are open about being Black and intersex.
The topics can include anything. Quite a few these books are #ownvoices with intersex and/or Black characters, but some are about completely different topics.

(Which is great and people should be encouraged and supported to write ANYthing)
An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon @cyborgyndroid

Adult science fiction set on a generation ship, Black intersex neuroatypical protagonist, several QUILTBAG+ characters. Very powerful

What I had to say about it when it came out:
http://www.bogireadstheworld.com/novel-an-unkindness-of-ghosts-by-rivers-solomon/
The Deep by Rivers Solomon @cyborgyndroid with @clppng.

Standalone fantasy / alternate-history novella, intersex sea people. Engagement with transgenerational trauma & the book doesn't pull any punches.

I wrote about it here (scroll down):

Reacquainted with Life by KOKUMỌ, a gender-nonconforming intersex trans femme poet and musician.

Adult poetry. Not SFF, but has some cosmic imagery that SFF readers will appreciate.

A lot of powerful engagement with abuse.

I wrote about it here:
http://www.bogireadstheworld.com/poetry-reacquainted-with-life-by-kokumo/
KOKUMỌ also has a poem in the Resilience trans anthology put out by @HeartsparkPress

I have no social media links and/or support links for her sadly! If you know, pls let me know and I'll add that in.
K. Ancrum @KaylaAncrum is intersex and bi, she writes contemporary young adult fiction with queer themes! Two books and some short fiction so far!

The first book is Wicker King, which I just read last month and haven't written about yet. With SFF crossover appeal! (You'll see)
K. Ancrum's second book is The Weight of the Stars, which is set in the same continuity as The Wicker King, but can be read independently of it.

Near-future setting, so can appeal both to contemp and SFF readers.

My thoughts (aka, YES THIS book PLEASE):

The Man On Top of the World by Vanessa Clark @FoxxyGlamKitty who is trans & intersex.

Gender-bending erotic romance between glam rockers.

I am reading this one right now! It's David Bowie dialed up to 11. (How is that even possible?!)

These are the books I have. (Please please let me know of more!)

But there are Black intersex essayists too, who are increasingly featured in QUILTBAG+ anthologies, so I'll also mention some of them too! (Here I am sure there are even more people)
The thread broke. (No thanks twitter!) Will try to delete and repost the last few tweets.
Um, a bunch of people already RTed those, so let's try this:
