It’s been more than 13 years since I started blogging at I’m Here. I’m Queer. What The Hell Do I Read?, and with two books coming out in 2021, it felt like time for a new virtual home. Welcome, to the new LeeWind.org

What’s the same?

• I’ll still be regularly blogging about LGBTQ+ Kid Lit , culture, and more!
• The archive of more than 2,700 blog posts will still be accessible and searchable.

What’s new?

• A home page that highlights my latest blog posts, book, next upcoming event/news, my most recent video newsletter and TikTok.
• Additional dedicated pages for the Blog, My Books, About (me), and eventually LGBTQ Kid Lit, Resources, and Events.
• Social links at the bottom of each page let you easily click over to my accounts on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.
• An easy link to subscribe to my email list on the home page and in the footer of each page.
• It works so much better on mobile!
• A fun new look…

Another change will be for subscribers – rather than two lists and a somewhat erratic send schedule, all subscribers will get a weekly email with the latest three blog posts. Those will include the video newsletters, and pretty much everything else you’ve been seeing as a subscriber. If you’re not signed up already, you can do so here.

Huge applause and appreciation to Jeniffer Thompson, Chad, and the team at Monkey C Media for the website design and all their help making this a reality. Cheers as well to Laurie Young for the bands of rainbow light streaming through each page. And to Jim Di Bartolo for the amazing superhero logo he created over ten years ago that still sums up what this site is all about:

Well, what are you waiting for? Go explore!

And if you have questions, or comments, please chime in.

The light in me recognizes and acknowledges the light in you,
Lee
