Queer Diplomacy: A Transgender Journey in the Foreign Service

After four years of writing, editing, re-writing, re-editing, and more query letter to agents and publishers than I care to remember, I am happy to announce that my book Queer Diplomacy:  A Transgender Journey in the Foreign Service, was published by Westphalia Press last week in cooperation with the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST).  It is available in both paper and e-book formats on Amazon.  It is my hope that readers of this web journal will find the book to be a distilled, improved version of some of the material I have written here over the years.  It is aimed in particular at the those in the transgender and gender non-conforming communities who have an interest in pursuing a career in international relations.  

SPOILER ALERT:  Being trans or non-conforming is not an obstacle to a career as a Foreign Service Officer with the U.S. Department of State!
