Good and Faithful Sinner: Excerpt from Chapter 34

@elliotsloanauthor An excerpt from my completed adult queer scifi. Good and Faithful Sinner is a character-driven adult science fiction novel set in a space colony 300 years after the destruction of earth. The Seven Stars is a rigid neo-christian theocracy structured around a prescriptive interpretation of the biblical book of revelation. When an underground resistance emerges using the Mark of the Beast as a rallying cry, obedient soldier Asher Deka finds himself asking questions he's not supposed to ask, and spending time with a childhood friend who makes him feel things he's not supposed to feel for another man. Good and Faithful Sinner explores queer resistance and joy, religious trauma, found family, and what it means to choose between and safety. #amquerying #sciencefiction #queerbook #queerbooktok #queerauthor ♬ crying into a pillow - i don't like mirrors
