## Resource

On this special supplementary episode, our hosts Chris and Amy had the wonderful opportunity to speak with Natalie Naudus, author of Gay the Pray Away and narrator of over 600 beloved audiobooks. Natalie brings a unique perspective to this episode and, even more importantly, to the growing field of queer teen literature. We discuss everything from her upbringing and how it influenced the novel, to her favorite books and other projects she's working on. If you like what you hear, let us know! We'd love to interview more of your (and our) favorite authors, and it's your support that makes this possible. Thank you to Quirk Books for providing us with a copy of Gay the Pray Away and allowing us the opportunity to interview Natalie about her debut novel! Thank you to Kevin MacLeod for the use of our theme song, 'Werq.' You can find more of their music on https://www.incompetech.com/ . If you'd like to contact us with book recommendations or questions for our upcoming episodes, email thebiggaybookclub@gmail.com or message us on Patreon. We'd love to hear from you! Hosted on Acast.
