Monique Poirier

Monique Poirier began writing science fiction and fantasy when she was twelve, and discovered erotica at sixteen - she hasn’t stopped writing since. She is a councilwoman of the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe, and a lineal descendant of Ousamequin Massasoit. She is an avid costumer, and an active member of the steampunk community. Her work in steampunk has been featured at Beyond Victoriana, Silver Goggles, and in the books Anatomy of Steampunk: The Fashion of Victorian Futurism, Steampunk III: Steampunk Revolution, Speculative Imperialisms: Monstrosity and Masquerade in Postracial Times, and Steaming Into a Victorian Future: A Steampunk Anthology. She has blogged, essayed, and discussed extensively across many platforms the depictions of NDN and NDN-coded characters in sci-fi and fantasy. Her works often explore themes of inequality in social and political power, consent, agency, and social revolution. Her work has been featured in many Circlet anthologies, including Fantastic Erotica: The Best of Circlet Press 2008-2012. Her short stories are collected in one volume in This World Between: Erotic Stories. She can be reached at Poirier.Monique@gmail.com or at Poiriermonique.tumblr.com
