    Maggie Thrash & Rainbow Black: murder, intrigue, queer love, dark humor & satanic panic

    Maggie Thrash is a lesbian writer wrestling with important themes, including sexuality, transphobia, and identity.

Besides Honor Girl, she is the author of Lost Soul, Be At Peace, as well as two other novels for young adults. Born and raised in Atlanta, she now lives in New Hampshire.

Girl power

Love listening to this podcast. Danielle has great guests and it’s crazy to me how well she seems to have read her guests books. Great for thriller authors as well as readers.
