Coming 2025 – Tiger Blues: a novel
2 transmen try to keep a Buddhist amulet out of Mao’s hands in 1940s Tibet. Those transmen (or genderqueer/nonbinary – not my place to say) are real life badasses Olive Yang (Burmese drug kingpin, 1927-2017) and Kawashima Yoshiko (Japanese war criminal, 1907-1948).

Silent Night Synopsis:
Some say there's not much in Haven City left to fight for, but to the Resistance and the Assassin's Guild, the war is far from over.
In a future world, the skyscrapers of Haven City have crumbled and the government of today is no more. Death lurks around every corner and tomorrow is not promised. The Resistance and the Assassin’s Guild fight for control of the city, but after decades of a silent war, no one expects victory.
In this lawless city, enemies are abundant, but three people are feared above all: the Charger, Black Death, and the mysterious assassin called Silent Night.
Silent Night has spent her whole life clawing her way to the top of the assassin list and has reached second place at the age of 18. She is days away from becoming Agent One when the tables are turned and a horrible truth is revealed.
The next day, Silent Night seeks out the Resistance, to aid in the destruction of the Assassin’s Guild.
Silent Night expects hatred and mistrust from her former enemies, but one boy will surprise her and that boy might just be the end of her.
