Her short stories appear in Alice Unbound: Beyond Wonderland, We Shall Be Monsters, Space Opera Libretti, and Stargazers: Microtales from the Cosmos. Cait also founded The Spoonie Authors Network and joined Talia C.

She reunited with Talia to co-edit Nothing Without Us Too.

Kohenet Talia C. Johnson is a multi-faceted woman who is transgender, autistic, Jewish, queer, and more than the sum of her parts. She was ordained a Kohenet Priestess in August 2019, the first transgender woman in the program. Her work centres on bridging faith and queer communities, facilitating workshops, educating, speaking, writing, one-on-one coaching, counselling, and mentoring. Talia has worked as a sensitivity editor for queer and trans representation, and her poem, Holy Love, appears in the Resilience anthology (Heartspark Press). She also sits on the executive of A4A Ontario, an autistic-led self-advocacy group. Talia joined Cait Gordon to co-edit Nothing Without Us and Nothing Without Us Too.
