We talked with TJ about their debut novel, Chef's Kiss! We discuss the characters (grumpy/sunshine and golden retriever characters), the decision to have Ray come out later in the book to Simone, and unlearning/re-learning how to be an ally to other queer people even as part of the LGBTQ+ community. We also gush about our love of Luna, hear some sneak peeks of a potential next book, and talk about other fun life things!
You can find TJ on Instagram at @tjalexandernyc, on Twitter at @tjalexanderNYC, and on their website: https://tjalexander.com/
If you want to buy TJ's book or the ones we mentioned - consider buying them from our bookshop.org link @ https://bookshop.org/shop/thebookstagays - this is a way to support indie bookstores AND the show (we receive a very small kickback if you purchase through our affiliate link).

Cheers Queers! Be gay, read books!
