Episode Fourteen with Shauna Marie O’Toole | Indie Author Interview | Indiosyncrasy

Hello friends!Welcome back to another episode of BOOKED, a place to explore the realms of creativity with indie writers. *CONTENT WARNING* During this episode, we discuss many sensitive topics (some of which are political). There is mention of rape/sexual assault, suicide, the rights of trans people in the US (which can be distressing, especially of late) and a handful of other difficult subjects. It’s important to me that all authors have the chance to share their voice as well as listeners having the opportunity to protect themselves from challenging content. Shauna has offered to be contacted by anyone in the trans, non-binary or LGBTQ community at this email address: [email protected] Here is a list of charities that help those in the trans community: https://www.humanrightscareers.com/is... (USA) National Sexual Violence Center: https://www.nsvrc.org/(UK) Rape Crisis England: https://rapecrisis.org.uk/ (AUS) Full Stop Australia: https://fullstop.org.au/ You are not alone. This week’s guest is the lovely and hilarious Shauna Marie O’Toole! During this episode we largely discuss her autobiography ‘You Can’t Shave in a Minimart Bathroom’ which tackles her experiences across her transition which has helped many transgender people to see that it’s possible to make it through difficult times. We also have the opportunity to talk about Shauna’s fiction, which includes diverse casts of characters.
