1. J. M. Barrie, creator of Peter PanSomeone close to the author once said of him, "
I don't believe that Uncle Jim ever experienced what one might call 'a stirring in the undergrowth' for anyone—man, woman, or child. He was an innocent—which is why he could write Peter Pan." This came as a response to suspicions that the author was a pedophile from Nico Davies, one of the many young boys he liked to associate with.
2. Edward Gorey, picture book authorThe writer who did illustrated books such as The Gashlycrumb Tinies & The Doubtful Guest attributed the sexlessness of his works to his asexuality. He never married and had little interest in romance.
3. Paula Poundstone, author of There is Nothing In This Book That I Meant To SayThough she had been charged with three counts of lewd acts upon children under 14 for alleged actions against her three adoptive and two foster children, comedian Poundstone maintained that the allegations were not true. In her own life, Paula Poundstone has identified herself as an asexual.
4. Keri Hulme, author of The Bone PeopleThis Booker Prize winner identifies as a aromantic asexual and atheist, a choice of words leading to her "triple A rating."
5. Morgan Bell, author of Sniggerless Boundulations
The short story writer also describes herself as "triple A," except hers are Australian, asexual, and atheist.
