Together, we navigate the powerful terrain of personal essays, delving into themes of identity, community, and the intimate connections that bind us.Our discussion takes us through the nuanced symbolism of everyday moments—a changing hairline, a sweaty brow, and a barber's journey amidst gentrification.

The interview with publisher author Matt Lubbers-Moore of ReQueered Tales and host author Emma Palova marks the 100th episode anniversary of For the Love of Books Podcast show. I am grateful to the entire literary community for making the show a success and to the sponsors Doc Chavent and The Lowell Ledger. ReQueered Tales is striving to preserve the literary heritage of the LGBTQ community by publishing out-of-print titles or publishing new works of older series. According to Lubbers-Moore, the project started out as a joke with his business partners. "Books from the 1990s, 80s, and 70s were hard to find and expensive," said Lubbers-Moore. "Are we actually going to do this?" And they started with a core of five gay mystery authors in 2018 as they grew to cover all the genres of LGBTQ fiction. "Now we're competing with the big boys," Lubbers-Moore laughed as he referred to the big publishing houses. "Other publishers are doing this now." Listen in for a chance to win a signed copy of Murder and Mayhem bibliography. Be a part of the excitement and magic of the show. Be a guest and or a sponsor.
