Lethe Press, Day 15 (Audio Book) Giveaway: Alec Baldwin Doesn’t Love Me by Michael Thomas Ford
Alec Baldwin Doesn’t Love Me and Other Trials from My Queer Life by Michael Thomas Ford
An irreverent, insightful, and wickedly funny humor collection that shows just how queer life really is by one of the more charming voices in contemporary gay prose. Oh, wait, we’re talking about Michael Thomas Ford. Well, he’s still a good guy, kind to dogs, donates to homeless porn stars, and has stopped sending Mr. Baldwin selfies. Buy this book. He needs a new smart phone to take pictures. This new edition of the book–winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Best Humor–features a new introduction by Ford as well as a reproduction of the letter Alec Baldwin sent in response to the book.
Alec Baldwin Doesn’t Love Me and Other Trials from My Queer Life
One of the goals of Lethe Press has always been to ensure that quality LGBT books are kept in print (it’s why we’re named after the River of Forgetfulness of Greek myth). Michael Thomas Ford is not only one of more prolific authors I have ever worked with but also is incredibly gracious and funny. When I realized his award-winning books of humorous essays were not available in spiffy new editions OR as e-books, I knew I had to sign him.
We have audiobooks to give away! The first ten commenters will receive a free audio edition of this hilarious book!
I’ve never listened to a book on audio before, but I have read this author and love his work. Count me in with the giveaway, please.

Thanks for your comment. You’ve been added to the giveaway.
I just thought that maybe this author is new to me so I checked out his books on Goodreads and was immediately drawn to the artwork used on some of his book covers. Yay it was the artwork by the wonderful artist Steve Walker. I just thought I would mention it as I often wondered what the story was behind those images and the men they portrayed and that if some author could create those stories how great it would be to read their interpretation. So thank you for introducing me to this author and for giving me a chance… Read more »
Thanks for your comment, Sula. You’ve been added. When I saw the information on this giveaway, I did a bit of checking on Goodreads as well. I’ve read one of Michael Thomas Ford’s books and I loved it. I can only imagine how great this audio book is.
I’ve read two of his novels and they were really great, so I’m excited about the chance to get to read the essays. I have only recently become aware of them, so I haven’t had long to anticipate them, but what a difference they’ll be from the books of his I read. I’m looking forward to it.
I too haven’t had the pleasure of owning an audio book. I reckon after the past weeks I’ve had, I’m due for a good laugh. Thanks Lethe.
Happy to do it!
Ii just went and perused his book at Amazon and I would love to be entered into the drawing. The example I read was great fun.
I’m another who has never listened to an audio book. Wonderful giveaway 🙂 Thanks to Lethe Press.
Looks like I’d love the sound of a “new to me” author. I love reading and listening to audiobooks, so it’s a double bonus for me! I’d love to hear Steve’s book.
Oops Michael’s book, really new to me author.
I love Michael Thomas Ford. I’ve not listened to an audio book either, but I bet it would be great. Thanks for another great giveaway.
I have read all of Michael’s books at least once if not twice if not three times. Aside from being a super nice guy he’s very talented! Makes me laugh and he makes me cry. He is a thoughtful talented writer!
Please include me in the draw as well. This sounds interesting. Thanks
I hope I’m among the ten! Every time I see this title, it makes me smile. Thank you!
