Bio:
Troy Ford’s debut novel Lamb released June 3rd, and was an Amazon #1 Hot New Release for LGBTQ+ Literary Fiction. He overcame a 34 year episode of writer’s block to finally write his first novel during Covid lockdown – Lamb is actually his second, though it is first to be published. He runs two newsletters – Ford Knows Books about writing and publishing, and Qstack, a Community for queer writers on Substack. He, his husband, and their Amstaff Terrier relocated to Spain in 2019 – a little gay Mecca half an hour down the coast from Barcelona called Sitges.
Many thanks for featuring me guys! Vance was a great host. 💙
Dear Troy and Written On The Edge, Enjoyed this interview, especially after having read LAMB. It is a masterpiece of personal understanding and a glimpse into what some people go through while being gay in a society that can be mean and unaccepting. Fondly, Michael
