#queerwriters Saturday: Check in Day! I worked on revisions to my second Sapphic Western novel set on a sheep farm in Australia, Queensland Madonna, which comes out in November! #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters
🎉Thank you to readers for taking this journey to Upsend Downs and the small town of Lionheart in Far North Queensland! I have been blown away for the support and love for this unconventional book.📚
📚Half of the dynamic duo in Queenslander is Nev Bickerman, 46, semi-retired, former war photographer, jaded idealist, heiress (land baron) orphan, isolated on her chaotic sheep farm and Stone House perched up on a hill overlooking gorgeous Lake Tinaroo.
#QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #writesky #writers Queenslander is like a Sapphic Brokeback Mountain in the Outback. Heartwarming bromance inside an angsty family drama set on a ranch. Literary Fiction.
