Mason Deaver writes young adult fiction about gender, family, friendship and the practical work of building a safer life. I Wish You All the Best follows non-binary teenager Ben De Backer after coming out to their parents and being forced to leave home, then finding support with an estranged sister and new school friends. The Ghosts We Keep centres on grief after the death of a sibling, while Okay, Cupid! moves into queer romantic comedy with a supernatural matchmaker. Deaver's prose is accessible and emotionally direct, with identity shown through everyday relationships rather than treated as a single issue plot. Their books fit LGBTQ+ YA, trans and non-binary fiction, grief stories and contemporary romance. Read more Less
