In writing a detective with autism, a novelist investigated herself Speaking to The Post about her new cozy mystery, “The Dead Come to Stay,” Brandy Schillace explains how her Jo Jones novels helped her come out as autistic.

I’m featured in the @washingtonpost.com !!

Most #autistic people are accustomed to “masking,” […and] will do so more when there is an increased sense of social hostility. “It’s more important than ever that Jo is her authentic self,” Schillace said.

The Intermediaries The fascinating history of a daring team of sexologists who built the first trans clinic in the shadow of the Third Reich., The Intermediaries, A Weimar Story, Brandy Schillace, 9781324036319

I spent 3 years tracking how people turned to hatred in advance of Nazis—we are speed-running the Weimar, right now, on the verge of collapsing into 1933. THERE IS STILL WAYS TO FIGHT. We can’t despair. But DAMMIT history is repeating with precious little adaptation.
