My Dinner with Andrea

Hybrid Ink is proud to announce our inaugural publication, My Dinner with Andrea by Jen Durbent!

Faith has started dating again - with the blessing of her wife - to find someone to connect with. Andrea seems to be a good match in many ways. The world is a difficult place for two trans women dating, but when you take into account neo-Nazis, a rapist, and some overzealous cops, it can feel downright impossible.

From the back cover

I got a story for you about two women falling in love, of Andrea and Faith. That seems nice, doesn't it? A nice trans lesbian queer romance?

Oh, and there's Faith's wife, Michelle, too.

And transphobia and ablism. And overzealous cops, Nazis, and a rapist.

Oh, but there's also video games, polyamory, and living visibly trans in a small American town. And tacos.

Dear reader, I got a story for you.

Advance Praise for

I found My Dinner with Andrea to be stunning. I see a lot of Faith in myself, and a lot of Andrea in who I want to be. It’s an engaging and intimate work, and I’m proud to have it as the inaugural publication for Hybrid Ink.

[My Dinner with Andrea] feels very personal, especially with the narrator’s engagement. Very enjoyable!
