Queer Romance, Queer Joy

Abigail Aaronson

Abigail Aaronson writes sapphic historical romance with teeth. Her 2025 debut, Lavender & Gin: A Sapphic Historical Romance, is a gritty and immersive Prohibition-era slow-burn set in the dangerous 1930's Detroit mob underground.

When she's not writing romance or researching whatever's caught her attention, Abigail cooks dishes like focaccia and Ukrainian apple cake with her recipe club, hangs out with her two cats Bo and Xena, or visits her wonderful family who live in the heart of the South.

Aaronson also runs the Queer Historical Romance Instagram and Facebook group. The page connects authors to readers and each other, as well as new readers to the genre.

education

After an initial stint as a creative writing major, her inner research nerd won out. Abigail switched to an anthropology degree and later achieved Master's degree in epidemiology. While she still works a regular 9-5, the creative call returned, and she began writing again part-time.

Early career

You're watching it happen! Her debut novel, Lavender & Gin: A Sapphic Historical Romance released in 2025. It's currently available for Kindle and in paperback.

inspirations
