For my second #BiWeek post, I’m asking for a big favor.
I’m only one bi writer, one person writing about themes and stories important to the bi community. I’m only one reviewer with a short list of bi books.
First of all, do you identify as bisexual+? That includes pansexual, omnisexual, multisexual, polysexual, fluid, flexible, questioning, and any other type of multi-gender attraction—romantic, sexual, or both. If so, we want your stories! Come visit the BiCast’s page and tell us your story.
Second, let’s stand up and be counted! Leave me a comment if you feel comfortable and share your bi-themed books. Share ones you loved or ones you wrote. If you’re a bi-identified (or any other MGA; see above) author or blogger, share a link to your website or author page in the comments.
This is a celebration of us, and I’d love if all of us could find more books that speak to our unique queer experiences. Please share this with your networks so we can get as many as possible. At the end of the week, I’ll blog a list of all the comments I receive with links.
Happy reading and writing!

I write horror, dark fiction, and erotica, identify as bi/pan, and many of my characters are LGBT. You can find me at https://bymorganelektra.wordpress.com/ or @MorganElektra on Twitter.

I’m a Bi writer, mainly of dark fiction and horror. I have written one Young Adult novel that is bi-oriented. @michaelr4224 and at http://www.michaelrcollins.wordpress.com
Got you added!
Hi 🙂
I identify as bi & most of my stories have at least one main character who is bi or pan.
In published work: Under Leaden Skies, Shelter From Storms in the anthology Lashings of Sauce, and one of my stories (Between Friends) in the anthology Call To Arms due to be published this autumn. All are historicals, if that tickles anyone’s fancy.
Shortness of list is due to not having much published yet!
My website is http://www.sandralindsey.wales, and I’m around on various social media under this name 🙂
Thank you for compiling this list, I look forward to seeing it in full!
Got you on the list!

Bi! 😀
Ohhhhh, that is a GREAT list of books, and I see several that are new-to-me! The drawback to this list is that my TBR pile is going to get a lot longer. Sigh.
Hi, I’m a Queer (Bi) writer of contemporary gay erotic romance. You can find my books here at my website: https://elizabethlister.wordpress.com/
A Numinous Light, the third book in my series The James Lucas Trilogy, features a mother and son who are obviously bisexual, even though they choose not to label themselves as such.

I’m bi!
Got you down! 🙂
Hi, I’ I write mostly bi characters. I’ve got a novella published involving a bisexual and a crossdresser and a novel scheduled for release in March with a bi main character.

I recently wrote a blog post about growing up bi (and not really identifying as it!) If interested, it’s on my wordpress site.

Got you down. Great post, and I find it interesting how people can come from wildly different backgrounds and yet still have some common experiences, especially when it comes to bisexuality (and other multi-gender attraction identities).
Hi. I’m J. V. Speyer. I’m a bi writer, and one of the protagonists in my most recent release is bi (The Dented Crown.)
Added both you and the book to the list! 🙂
I’m a bi writer of MM erotic romance, and unless it’s explicitly stated otherwise, you can assume nearly all my characters in my books are bi. In fact, my co-author and I have a book coming out the end of this month (Moonlight and Moonshine, a Fae Haven prequel) with not only bi characters but a pan/poly/genderfluid MC our editor is still singing happy praises over. My website is http://www.idkmybff.com
Got you added! And how exciting about the pan/poly/genderfluid character. 🙂
I’m a bi writer and I write books that explore the intersections of sexual identity, faith and integrity.
I make a point of including at least one bi character in every book I write.

Added you. I recommend Speak Its Name to everyone I can because it’s THAT good.
Thank you – and thank you! 😀
I make comics, and actually just released one about being bisexual! 😀 it’s called Bi The Way, and you can find out about it & my other work at mjwallace.com
If you’d like a pdf copy to read/review just let me know and I’ll get it to you!
Got you down, and yes, I’d love to read & review! You can send me a message through my website’s contact form if you like.
Hi! I’m bisexual and I write all kinds of queer characters but I have two books focused on bi MCs. My goal is to inlclude multiple bi characters in every book from now on!
In the Present Tense – bi MC; time-travel; mental illness rep (Sequel coming in 2018!)
Grrrls on the Side – bi MC; multiple bi supporting characters; lesbian love interest; riot grrrl, feminism, smashing the patriarchy, ’90s shenanigans
Yes! Grrrls on the Side is on my Kindle RIGHT NOW, waiting to be read. Adding to the list. And omg, a sequel to In the Present Tense??? I always thought that deserved more because of the fantastic Big Reveal. This has me on the edge of my seat!
Aaaah! I’m so excited that you’re reading GRRRLS!!!! 😀
And yes, sequel hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s coming. 😉
I remember thinking when I read it that I just wanted more, so I’m so excited for a sequel.
My writing partner (Erin McRae) and I are both bi and have lots of bi+ people in our books.
You can find us online at Avian30.com and @racheline_m + @erincmcrae on Twitter.
The Art of Three is an MMF poly romance with two bi heroes
One of the MCs in Midsummer and its sequel Twelfth Night has just figured out he’s bi
There are lots of bi characters running around The Love in Los Angeles series.
The Art of Three is on my (ever growing) TBR pile. There are not anywhere near enough good polyam books, regardless of the genders of the characters.
Hi,
I am beginning to write and have only published erotica so far.
thanks & cheers
If you want to link to anything, feel free to share it here or send it via my contact form. I only share the names/links that people ask me to because I know a lot of people use pseudonyms for safety or other personal reasons.
Ooh, this is so awesome! I can’t wait to see this list. ?
My CREATURES OF DARKNESS series has a ton of LGBT characters, including a bisexual protagonist.
Book 1 – THE STONE OF THE EKLEKTOS – http://a.co/1OsGxeo
Book 2 – THE TOMB OF BLOOD – http://a.co/jeBzh0j
(The protagonist falls in love with a man in the first book and a woman in the second book. So, you don’t get to really see her in relationships with multiple genders until Book 2, but she is bisexual.) ?
OMG, you had me at “she.” My list has been a bit heavy on male characters, so I’m sooooo happy to see a book with a bi woman! I’m adding you to my list.
Hi there! I have three books with bisexual main characters!
The Rules and Regulations For Mediating Myths & Magic, The Star Host, and Ghosts & Ashes.
I’m @FTLukens on twitter.
Thank you!
Ooh, I did the blog tour for The Star Host, and I recall really wanting to read it but not having time. I think I need to make room on my list.
I’m bi, and while the titular character of my indie series Thalia’s Musings is straight, her love interest, Apollo, is bi AF and it’s no big deal to her. There’s also bisexual Adonis, Dionysus, Beroe, and Eris, lesbian Artemis and Athena, and asexual Hestia and Amphitrite.
Oh my gosh…that series looks AMAZING. And, being nosy, I looked at your website. You like a lot of the same blogs I do! *bi-fives*
Hi! I’m bi, and I write a lot of bi characters, mainly sci-fi and fantasy . The ones that come immediately to mind are Eternal and the Hidden Game series, but bi characters tend to sneak into almost everything I write.

I’m a happily married woman to a man, but I’ve had my moments of femslashiness. 🙂 I tend to identify more as bi than straight as a result. 🙂 Plus none of my writing is remotely straight. 🙂
