Author/Editor: Dawn Winter on Sedating Elaine with Jenny Jackson

What can a numbed-out, brokenhearted lesbian do when her drug dealer threatens to dispatch his sadistic henchwoman on her unless she pays her debt? Simple. Invite the rebound girlfriend to move in, lie about the rent, and wait for her to fork over the money. When the new girlfriend’s unquenchable sex drive becomes a problem? Easy. Sedate her until the money comes through. This is the start of the whirlwind plot of Dawn Winter’s debut novel, Sedating Elaine. A so-called “LGBT Fleabag,” the story steps outside the box of the traditional LGBT romance novel, producing something equal parts hilariously twisted and deeply insightful.

Join author Winter and her editor, Jenny Jackson, for an exciting discussion on this rebellious and subversive novel. A must-see for all lovers of inventive LGBT narratives that challenge the status quo.
