Thank you! I've been requesting my local public library buy a lot of your books from Overdrive, and they circulate well, 5 people in line behind me for the one I have checked out right now! I'm a librarian myself, so I do know about Overdrive's poor treatment of self-pub books. :(
It's very frustrating. I've made a couple of requests for books on Overdrive through their request function but have yet to see anything happen. I know the library has only so much funds they can allocate to certain things, but it would be nice to see some real, decent gay or m/m content available for check out there. Not the fault of the authors though.
I've been requesting Lanyon titles through my local Overdrive/library consortia and have been fortunate in that they've added a few titles but it is frustrating not to have full access to all of them.
I have been able to add other LGBTQ authors but none from Josh Lanyon despite several requests? And I've tried both self published and non self published ... and neither are added to the library's catalogue. This always puzzled me because she is by far my favorite author ...
