Frontiers In Los Angeles magazine asked me to put together a reading list this Summer that the LGBT community might want to read. I put out a call to agents, editors, publicists, and authors that I knew. I wanted books that would be published between March and September. The reponse has been overwhelming and compiling a list of just ten books has been daunting.
There were some books that I really enjoyed, but I wondered if they were "Summer" reading. I don't want to insult readers, assuming they just want fluffy beach books. I'm hoping to have a spectrum of books available. But just ten?
I e-mailed the editors and hoped they would consider more book features because something I've witnessed: there are a lot of great queer books coming out!
If anything, I hope to feature them on this blog. Oy!

I can't wait to see this list.
Since L.A. has summer weather in winter, I think we can read winter books (i.e. weighty, literary stuff) in summer. Right?
In what issue will the list appear?
Bring on the list :-)
LOL. It's supposed to be in the Pride issue, so sometime in mid June. I'll post it here.
