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.
