Very cool! This post was just brought to my attention and I took a listen. Thank you for talking about DAMN STRAIGHT in my Lillian Byrd series. After a long hiatus from Lillian, I'm now working on book 5 in the series, which features perhaps that most-lesbian of all sports: Softball! The working title is LEFT FIELD, and I hope to get it done and published by year's end.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! I'm a huge fan of your Lillian Byrd series. Read it when it first came out as teenager, and I really enjoyed revisiting the series on kindle this year. I talk about the books in the first two episodes of the podcast, as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm super excited that you're working on another book featuring Lillian! I'll be keeping an eye out for sure. Thanks for the heads up.
