Ivan E. Coyote is a master storyteller; her beautiful, funny stories about growing up a lesbian butch in the Canadian north attract audiences both gay and straight. In her fifth collection, Ivan addresses issues of family, queer youth, and homophobia with a trenchant and wistful eye.

Ivan E. Coyote is the author of four previous story collections (including 2008's Lambda-nominated The Slow Fix) and the novel Bow Grip, selected as an ALA Stonewall Honor Book. Originally from the Yukon, she now lives in Vancouver.
