    Jeffrey Round is best known as the Lambda Award-winning author of two mystery series--the gritty Dan Sharp books and the comic Bradford Fairfax series. He is also an award-winning filmmaker, television producer and songwriter. His first novel, "A Cage of Bones", was topping bestseller lists around the world. Both "A Cage of Bones" and "The P-Town Murders," first in the Bradford Fairfax series were listed on AfterElton's Top 100 Greatest Gay Books in 2008. Jeffrey's "Endgame" was called a "brilliant recreation" of Agatha Christie's best-selling mystery "And Then There Were None", giving the original what one critic called a "punk-rock reboot." It became a best-selling e-book in the US in 2016.

Discover New Authors

I found this show around the time we were all facing the pandemic, I never listen to podcasts and this was the one that got me started. I was looking for lgbtq books that weren't the typical coming of age, tragic or erotic stories just a regular book with all gay characters or at least the main protagonist. That's how this podcasts appeared on my suggestions.

I love it. I have found so many authors that I would not have found and have discovered a world that I did not know actually does exist. We all been to bookstores and seen the pitiful shelf with lgbtq books and themes next to the self help books. This podcast has really given so much and I am so happy it was created.

I love the book suggestions and the interviews with the authors. This year not only have I read many more books by lgbtq authors but I have been inspired to keep writing and hopefully one day real soon publish because gay theme books and authors do exist and readers for these works do to.

It's a small process of growing and excepting each other but I see more and more people reading books and liking it for what it is, regardless if the characters are straight or gay.

Sadly this podcast is ending but I was happy to go on the ride. Thank you Brad.
