The Audiobook of "Queer as a Five-Dollar Bill" is Available!

Hello Community,

I'm really excited about the audiobook version of my debut YA novel "Queer as a Five-Dollar Bill." The book has been named a BookLife Award Semi-Finalist, making it one of Publishers Weekly's Top Five Independently Published Titles of 2018!

Wyatt is 15, and nobody in his homophobic small town of Lincolnville, Oregon, knows that he’s gay. Not even his best friend (and accidental girlfriend) Mackenzie. Then he discovers a secret from actual history: Abraham Lincoln was in love with another guy! Since everyone loves Lincoln, Wyatt’s sure that if the world knew about it, they would treat gay people differently, and it would solve everything about his life. So Wyatt outs Lincoln online, triggering a media firestorm that threatens to destroy everything he cares about - and he has to pretend more than ever that he’s straight.... Only then he meets Martin, who is openly gay and who just might be the guy Wyatt’s been hoping to find.

The audiobook includes a bonus interview with the author Lee Wind by multi-award-winning author Lesléa Newman. If you loved the movie Love, Simon and the audiobook Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, you're bound to love Queer as a Five-Dollar Bill - also narrated by Michael Crouch!

The "Queer as a Five-Dollar Bill" Audiobook Sampler

**UPDATE: As of December 7, 2018, The Queer as a Five-Dollar Bill audiobook is available wherever digital audiobooks are sold. (And if your library offers digital audiobooks, they may have it as well. If not, asking them to carry it really helps!) Thanks, Lee**

I'm so excited about the audiobook currently in production—here's a sneak peek, or listen, of the first two chapters.



The amazing narration is by Michael Crouch (who also did the audiobook for Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda), and the theme music is inspired by the Civil War-era song "Two Brothers" by Irving Gordon, arranged and performed by Doug Pettibone.

The audiobook will be available this November 2018!

Thanks for an amazing launch week, all.
