Accidental
Desperados
Lee's
second book in the Rainbow Gap Lesbian Family Saga (after Rainbow
Gap)
MJ Beaudry,
an angry, brilliant, abused runaway, is dumped in Rainbow Gap,
Florida, and almost immediately discovers an aptitude for crime.
The lesbian cop who catches her expects good-hearted lovers Jaudon
Vicker and Berry Garland to save the kid. Although Jaudon’s
business has suffered a killing blow and she’s frantic to
make it right, she was once a besieged gay kid herself and reaches
out, only to find herself in cahoots with MJ.
Berry
is left in the dark, her own big dream on hold, and fears losing
her love as Jaudon is swallowed by work and guilt. Berry, salt-of-the-earth
Gran, besotted-with-MJ Vonnie Lowe (who is besotted with MJ),,
Allison the social justice warrior, and scofflaws Shady and Tad
all stand behind Jaudon, but are they enough?
Or will
it take this next generation of lesbians—MJ and Vonnie—to
lead the way?

“From the beginning of my writing career,
I just wanted to write about lesbian/gay life as I experienced
it. Like so many, I came from a place of great isolation. At the
same time, being gay filled me with great pride and joy. Writers
Jane Rule, Isabel Miller, Radclyffe Hall, Valerie Taylor, Ann
Bannon, and Vin Packer gave me inspiration and even the lesbian
companionship I needed as a baby dyke. More than anything, I want
to give to gay people what those writers gave me. And I want to
do it well enough that my words might someday be considered literature
and, as such, might endure because, as open as some societies
have become, there are always haters, and cycles of oppression.
Our writers strengthen us, offer a sense of solidarity and validation
that we are both more than our sexualities and are among the best
that humanity offers.”
Lee Lynch [1945 - ], American author, winner
of an Alice B Award in 2007 and named a 2010 Trailblazer by the
Golden Crown Literary Society, quoted from the book, An American
Queer: The Amazon Trail
