Thomson for a low-key celebration of their new novel, A Life in Too Many Margins.This is a casual, drop-in reading and signing at 7 pm. No being forced to make eye contact longer than you’re comfortable with. Just books, conversation if you want it, and respectful silence if you don’t.A Life in Too Many Margins is an offbeat, witty, and deeply human story about living at the intersections of queerness, disability, and neurodivergence in a world that insists that people with these experiences are “too much.” It’s heartfelt without being overly inspirational, honest without being grim, and occasionally laugh-out-loud because sometimes that’s the only option. No toxic positivity here.Stop by to:Meet the authorGet a copy signed (and personalized!)Browse a great independent bookstoreExist quietly in a shared space, which honestly counts as a social activity, right?📍Celia Books 102 Park Ave Morton, PA19081📅 May 6, 2026⏰ 7:00 PMNo RSVP required.

Autistic, disabled, and trans, he knows firsthand that life is rarely tidy, easy, or inspirational, but can still be deeply funny and worth sharing with others. Thomson’s work refuses toxic positivity and embraces the messy middle ground, creating space for readers to see themselves as they really are: complicated, resilient, and never alone. His writing is as much a survival map as it is a love letter to the people who keep showing up, even when the world makes it hard. S. E. has worked hard to be able to laugh and move forward, embracing the joy in the world. He writes to help others and to create the kind of stories he wishes he'd seen growing up: supportive, sad, affirming, painful, and funny." } ] } ] ```
