I'm looking forward to my first conference as an attendee. Although not a published author, yet, I've completed a manuscript that I hope to discuss at the conference. The title of my novel is, The Wrong Kind of Weird, the story of a family from North Carolina who moves to Massachusetts to find a safe place to raise their transgender child. I'm a woman with a law degree, two children and a husband, and I was drawn to my main character, Stevie, because she feels like a character who can tell the story of how it feels to be a woman.
