Diana Cage is a writer and performer whose work explores sex, art, bodies, relationships, and desire. She is the author of six books, including The Lesbian Sex Bible, which won a Lambda Literary Award. She is interested in the politics of embodiment, New Narrative, and queer interdependency and care. In the somewhat distant past she was a lesbian pornographer and then a talk show host on SirusXM radio. Cage works with What Would an HIV Doula Do? to bring attention to the AIDS crisis as an ongoing intersectional reality and teaches gender studies at San Francisco State University.

Jackie Ess is a slightly byline-shy writer of novels, poems, and essays which she hopes make good trouble. Darryl is her first novel.
