Can't Play Dead

"Speaking as a transgender lesbian who is dead yet still able to philosophise despite having thrown up her own teeth... fuck normal."

Queensland, Australia
January 2016

Nobody expected a two-pub beach-side resort village to have a second life as a college town, but it did - becoming home to a lot of young people, all escaping something.

For Tracy, moving was a way to start afresh. New town, new state - and new gender.

For Elizabeth, losing her partner had sent her spiralling into anger, despair and gin.

For Heather, coming out went smoothly - until she met Ash.

Transitioning, dating, and life’s other problems sure would be easier if it wasn’t for the heat, the humidity, and the vampires.

Can't Play Dead is a novel set in the same universe as "So, About Last Night..." and Ruby Red Lips.
