The 2020 LHMPodcast Fiction Series

Wednesday, February 5, 2020 - 09:00

The contracts are all signed, so here's the 2020 fiction series for the Lesbian Historic Motif Podcast! The order of appearance isn't set yet, so this is alphabetically by author.

  • Ferreira, Jeannelle M. "Your Fingers Like Pen and Ink" - danger and decisions in a Russian Jewish community in the late 19th century
  • Flavell, Caitlin "Talking to Ghosts" - those left behind find comfort from the supernatural (maybe?) in Victorian Scotland
  • Lundoff, Catherine "Cardinal's Gambit" - another adventure with the pirate Jacquotte Delahaye and the spy Celeste Girard, who featured in a previous story on this site
  • Morrison, Diane "A Soldier in the Army of Love" - a tale of war, persecution, and the Court of Love set in 13th century Provance during the crusade against the Cathars
  • Nestojko, Jennifer "Give us this Day" - a baker's widow in 13th century Brittany may have found a new flame...if only her dead husband would let go

Jennifer Nestojko's story is perfect for a Halloween tale, and I'm flipping a coin between Caitlin Flavell's and Catherine Lundoff's for the February story. One of the stories will be scheduled for January 2021 since I'll need to line it up before the next Call for Submissions is finished. I have a lead on a narrator for the Morrison story, but I'm looking for someone to narrate Ferreira's work--which requires a solid comfort level with Yiddish vocabulary and names. If you think that might be you, contact me and we can arrange a voice audition. (This is a paying gig.)

Thank you to all the authors who trusted me with their submissions. I'm really excited about this year's fiction series, which fulfills my goal of expanding to include historic fantasy.
