You’ll be rooting for her characters from page one, even when they seem intent on getting their love lives hopelessly tangled up. Queer family often plays a central role, and even the books that center men have feminist themes and secondary female characters with agency and real personality. Her work is full of rich historical detail and fantastic secondary plots-whether it’s a murder mystery, the invention of the telegraph, or Regency bookselling. Even her most angsty and serious novels manage to include plenty of warmth and delight.

The thread running through them all is: funny, feminist, and queer as hell. So far, her work includes stories centering M/M, F/F, M/F, and M/Nonbinary romances. Cat Sebastian writes queer historical romance of many persuasions. If you’re a fan of queer and/or historical romance and you have yet to discover the joy of Cat Sebastian books, you are in for a rare treat.
