Be gay and come correct.
Some days, ya gotta dance. The Chicks said that once. Well, they sang it. (Sung it? I never know).
And, friends, in this case, I am so glad I danced my way into a frenzy of foolish confidence a few months ago wherein I submitted my book for consideration at LAMBDA LITERARY. Because, just yesterday, I learned that the good folx at LL - America's leading LGBTQ literary organization - named my book, I'm Never Fine: Scenes and Spasms on Loss, among their list of the Most Anticipated February 2023 Releases.
Shocked would be an understatement. Humbled, as well. Excited, too. I am, quite literally, all the adjectives.
My sincerest thanks to everyone at LAMBDA LITERARY for their kindness and for this distinction.
I'll just be over here, lying on the floor.
