🏳‍🌈 Tell us your name and a little bit about yourself?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Jackie Lawson (pen name – J Lawson). I’m a graduate of Western Illinois University with a Master’s Degree in English Literature. I live with my husband, son, and my mother who recently moved into our home. Between us, we have three dogs; Bailey, Ember, and Bella. Most days I am either reading, writing, or doing bookish crafts. I enjoy pretty much all genres and have several comfort books and series that I read or listen to repeatedly.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

🏳‍🌈 What is the title of your most recent release?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Peculiar Lessons: Semester Two is my most recent and I have a new stand-alone fiction collection of short stories slated to arrive this year!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

<\/div>\n
🏳‍🌈 Is there a book or a movie that has helped you have a better understanding of a current or past event in LGBTQ history?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Anything by E. Lynn Harris is worth a read and incredibly eye-opening.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

🏳‍🌈 If you could have dinner with a famous person from the LGBTQ community, past or present, who would that be and why?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Harvey Milk has a fascinating story, but so much of it was written after his assassination. I’d love to sit down with him and get the whole story from his own perspective.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
🏳‍🌈 I can hear the complaints now. If you think 1 person is unfair please use this space for additional dinner guests and why you chose them?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
There are so many I’d love to meet just to hear their stories, but I’m good with having to just pick the one. Given free rein, the list would be endless (albeit, quite the dinner party!)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
🏳‍🌈 Do you have a favorite review(s) of one of your books left by a reader? Care to share the title of the book, the review, and why this one stood out to you?<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Peculiar Lessons: Semester Two. Review: “Peculiar Lessons is so well written and refreshingly original. You\u2019re taken on unforgettable adventures with the main characters and every moment of their journey is immersive and emotionally gripping. The plot is thought-provoking and each \u201clesson\u201d carries real weight. I absolutely devoured this book in a single day. If you love character-driven stories with a hint of the strange and magical, this is an absolute must read! This book is a rare gem and I\u2019ll be recommending it to everyone I know!” This review stood out to me because they acknowledged all the things I hope come through in my writing – originality, relatability, accessibility, and captivating.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
