Join me as I welcome Lee Lynch to this week’s podcast (LISTEN HERE). Lee is an author whose writing I’ve had the pleasure of sharing here for the past few months, by way of her Amazon Trail columns, now collected in her book An American Queer. Her other books include The Raid and Beggar of Love, published by Bold Strokes Books. Her national column is “The Amazon Trail.†She is the namesake and first recipient of The Lee Lynch Classic Award for The Swashbuckler. She’s been honored with the Golden Crown Literary Society Trailblazer Award, the Alice B. Reader Award, induction into the Saints and Sinners Literary Hall of Fame, the James Duggins Mid-Career Award, and, for Beggar of Love, the Lesbian Fiction Readers Choice Award, the Ann Bannon Popular Choice Award, and Book of the Year Award from ForeWord Reviews.

Oh, and her story, The Tracks, is among the 16 pieces in the just-published collection, Outer Voices Inner Lives, now available in print and e-book. But above all she’s a great person and a delight to get to know. – Mark
