About the works of Marsheila Rockwell
The rights to the Renegade Legion game system have been acquired by Budgie Smuggler Games, and one of the things they are doing to promote it is a prose anthology called Voices of Varuna. I have a story in it called “Stepping Stones,” which is about colonization and assimilation, but from the Native POV (I am Chippewa/Métis, so this is a subject near and dear). I’ll attach a cover, and here are the buy links, in case you want to put that info anywhere.

Turning the Tied is a charity anthology; all proceeds support the World Literacy Foundation.
this is the anthology that has Marcy’s Ozma story (it’s called “A Prisoner Freed in Oz”):
“I learned to read when I was three, and the first book I can remember reading is Ozma of Oz. The first character I can remember wanting to be is Ozma—beautiful, wise, kind, powerful, but still just a kid like me. When I saw she was one of the characters available for this anthology, I jumped at the chance to write about her.
Ozma is arguably one of modern SFF’s first transgender characters. I knew I wanted to write about that aspect of her identity because of a young transgender girl I love very much who recently came out to me. I wanted to write a story affirming her and all transgender kids that was still very much an Oz story. I hope I’ve succeeded.”

It doesn’t have to be much, but every little bit helps in the scheme of things.
