I came into my queerness late in life. Well, later, at any rate, than the teenagers I wrote about in my sapphic YA fantasy, Sweet & Bitter Magic. Yet after I learned that my heart was not surrounded by a wall, but rather, a gate just waiting to be opened, after I met the woman who is now my wife, as I explored the world of women who love women, I realized there had always been something inherently sapphic about the way I had lived my life.
