Titles as co-editor or author

Book cover: a watercolour of a brick wall in teal, brown, and beige bricks. Black graffiti says “Nothing without US.” And dark orange-red graffiti says “TOO.” Editors and author names are also on the cover.
Nothing Without Us Too

“Stories featuring disabled characters that are written by disabled authors themselves are inherently stories of transformation and the new—because they come from people who’ve had to view the world in different ways in order to get by, to survive, to thrive in ways that only we know how.” 

~ Amanda Leduc, author of Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space, and The Centaur’s Wife

ID, book cover: Graffiti wall with “Nothing Without Us” spray painted in black. The list of editors and authors is included in the text of this page.
Nothing Without Us

“I can’t describe how refreshing it is as a disabled person to read about fully fleshed out three-dimensional characters. Not only are we pulled out of our trope-ridden literary history, we are given substance.”

~ Derek Newman-Stille, eight-time Prix Aurora Award winner for Speculating Canada

ID, book cover: Two Draga warriors in space flight suits about to engage in a kiss while standing on a snowy mountain top. Overhead flies a space fighter.
The Stealth Lovers

“The fiercest, most formidable warrior-lovers in the ’Cosm are back. And the battle has never been so fabulous!”

~ Stephen Graham King, author of The Maverick Heart Cycle series

Life in the ’Cosm book cover: A multi-coloured nebula of purples, blues, and aquas. A ringed planet. A little alien, resembling a fried egg with huge eyes, nonchalantly hurtles through space.
Life in the ’Cosm

It was an intergalactic joyride of epic proportions. Laugh out loud hilarious, touching, endearing and wonderful don't do it enough justice.

~ Jamieson Wolf, award-winning author of Love and Lemonade

Cait Gordon (she/her) is an autistic, disabled, and queer woman who cares about disabled and neurodivergent representation in fiction, along with a firm belief that space opera should include funny aliens and a heaping amount of cake.

Spoonie Authors Network

Spoonie Authors Network logo
Cait founded the Spoonie Authors Network in 2016 as a community initiative where authors who managed disabilities and chronic illness could share their stories. The invitation to contribute now extends to those who are disabled, Deaf, Blind, neurodivergent, and/or folks who manage mental health. In 2019, Canadian author Dianna Gunn joined the "network" by launching the Spoonie Authors Podcast. Learn more...

Important! Websites that list any non-book products (like T-shirts and other merch) associated with my name might not have had my approval for their posting. Shop with care, folks!

In other news, I’m on Mastodon now! Please be patient with me as I try to navigate this new thing!
