The Two Gay Geeks 🏳️‍🌈 have a chat with Marcy Rockwell who writes under the name Marsheila Rockwell. We chat about how she got into writing as well as her current work. Marcy writes in the fantasy genre and also writes poetry and she tells us where her work can be found. Have a listen and we hope you enjoy this as much as we did. About Marsheila "Marcy" Rockwell Multiple Scribe and Rhysling Award nominee Marsheila (Marcy) Rockwell is the author of twelve books to date. Her work includes 7 SYKOS, a near future SF/H thriller co-written with writing partner/husband Jeff Mariotte; The Shard Axe series, the only official novels that tie into the popular fantasy MMORPG, Dungeons & Dragons Online; two collections; dozens of short stories and poems; multiple articles on writing and the writing process; and a handful of comic book scripts.

I have a story in it called "Stepping Stones," which is about colonization and assimilation, but from the Native POV (I am Chippewa/Métis, so this is a subject near and dear). I'll attach a cover, and here are the buy links, in case you want to put that info anywhere.

The first character I can remember wanting to be is Ozma—beautiful, wise, kind, powerful, but still just a kid like me. When I saw she was one of the characters available for this anthology, I jumped at the chance to write about her. Ozma is arguably one of modern SFF’s first transgender characters. I knew I wanted to write about that aspect of her identity because of a young transgender girl I love very much who recently came out to me. I wanted to write a story affirming her and all transgender kids that was still very much an Oz story. I hope I’ve succeeded." https://www.amazon.com/Turning-Tied-Max-Allan-Collins/dp/1736252410/ref=sr_1_1?pldnSite=1 ❀❀❀❀ In our second segment, we chat about Cruella, spoiler-free.
