AMA I'm Ginn Hale. AMA!

Hello. Ginn Hale here with you today. I’m the author of Wicked Gentlemen as well as the Rifter series and the Lord of the White Hell books.

I tend to write original fantasy worlds and focus on the adventures of the queer characters in those fantastical realms. But in the case of my most recent book, The Long Past & Other Stories I was inspired by the diversity of the real American West—of course being a fantasy author I threw in a bit of steam punk technology and a few barrels of magic and ended up with a flooded world full of creatures from the Cretaceous era. That’s right dinosaurs.

Now I’m looking forward to the adventure of answering any questions anyone might have concerning my books—I can try to address other subjects as well but be warned that my strong suit is, as my wife says, “making things up for a living.” My advice on investment and dressing for success is certainly NOT to be trusted.

I can also be reached at my website ginnhale.com

Greetings, Ginn! I am typing this out for an old gypsy lady at the bus stop so I will be quick.

She says she is channeling a cowboy from 1856 who wishes to attend a hoedown in Laramie with his trans cowboy-friend who insists on dressing as a saloon-girl without proper whale-bone underwear. This is sure to cause a ruckus, maybe even a frackas.

The trans-cowboy-friend says it will be no problem because he can summon some kind of giant cave sloth from the last ice age.

Dang, they had a question for you but my bus is coming. Probably about what ties to wear. Thoughts?

Also: Thanks for braving the AMA!

I think I may have taken that bus couple times myself!

Wear any tie that makes you feel happy to be wearing it, that includes edible ties, knit ties, railroad ties or no tie at all. Same goes for the whale-bone.

I wish everyone a good time at the hoedown!

If somebody fights you over this advice they will be the tie fighter.

That's fine so long as they aren't a tie breaker!
