Sometimes in life, you meet people who change your life (hopefully for the better). August McLaughlin is one of these people for me. We met when August stumbled across my Twitter account. She was interested in asexuality and of course, I’m a badass openly aromantic asexual feminist. We exchanged a few messages and I was interviewed for Girl Boner Radio, an experience that remains one of my best interview experiences to date. When August invited me to write something about asexuality for an upcoming book, I leaped at the opportunity.
So I won’t be releasing a novel in 2015 but I do have exciting news: I have written an essay for this soon to be released book about women’s sexuality. It’s a huge deal: asexuality is rarely represented in feminist books. We’re lucky if we get a passing mention. This is doubly true for books that revolve around sex positivity. I’m so excited about the release of this book, it’s hard to put into words.
So please, visit the link and support the hell out the book!

About Lauren Jankowski
Lauren Jankowski, an author from Illinois, has been an avid reader and a genre feminist for most of her life. She holds a degree in Women and Genders Studies from Beloit College. In 2015, she founded “Asexual Artists,” a Tumblr and WordPress site dedicated to highlighting the contributions of asexual identifying individuals to the arts.
She has been writing fiction since high school, when she noticed a lack of strong women in the popular genre books. When she’s not writing or researching, she enjoys reading (particularly anything relating to ancient myths) or playing with her pets. She participates in activism for asexual visibility and feminist causes. She enjoys speaking about genre feminism, a topic she is quite passionate about, and hopes to bring more strong heroines to literature, including badass asexual women.
Her debut novel was "Sere from the Green," the first volume in her ongoing series "The Shape Shifter Chronicles." The sequels, "Through Storm and Night," "From the Ashes," and "Haunted by the Keres" are also available. All books can be purchased through Amazon, CreateSpace, or Smashwords.
