Thumbs up Free (Kindle DRM-free) D*mn Straight [Award-Win Lesbian Humorous Golf Mystery w/Note]

Damn Straight by Writer's Digest contributing editor and journalist Elizabeth Sims (SYKM, Wikipedia) is the 2nd in her Lillian Byrd Crime Series of mystery adventure thrillers starring the eponymous Detroit-based lesbian freelance writer, this installment a comedic one featuring her taking an undercover mission at a California golf tournament (with apparently, increasingly ridiculous disguises) to uncover who's been plaguing a new sports star lover of hers with assorted threats and in turn finds out an unexpectedly surprising secret, free courtesy of the author herself, who is e-printing it from its 2003 paperback edition originally out from long-established LGBT specialty publisher Alyson Books (Wikipedia).

This was a 2003 Lambda Literary Award winner, and quotes a lot of praise in the Editorial Review section, where if you click to expand it and go to dedicated ER sub-page, you can read a moderately in-depth Q&A with the author on the writing of this book and her assorted setting/plot/characterization decisions.

Currently free (and DRM-free), probably just for the rest of the day @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and probably worldwide, as this is being done via KDP Select's exclusive-or-else program).

And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because award-winning humorous mystery with greater diversity in character representation (we so rarely get anything with lesbians or even bisexual women in it, backlist or otherwise, not even in the form of those occasional ménage romances, which have been like 99-and-44⁄100% pure f/m/m to date), with a behind-the-scenes making-of Q&A providing author's notes, and DRM-free to boot!

Enjoy!

Description
After her narrow brush with death in HOLY HELL, you'd think Lillian Byrd would have learned to keep her head down, but when a friend in crisis calls from California, Lillian jumps on a plane and wings her way from Detroit to Palm Springs---and danger. It's the long weekend of the Dinah Shore golf tournament, the wildest women's sporting event in the world, when thousands of lesbians descend on the desert and take over.

At a pre-championship party, Lillian leaps into a slippery romance with a top LPGA star. But her superstar athlete has a secret: Someone is quietly terrorizing her. Lillian, eager to help, goes undercover as a high-profile reporter, an unhinged nun, and a professional caddie while uncovering layer after disturbing layer of of the golfer's past. Finally, with violence erupting at every turn, Lillian uncovers her lover's ultimate horrifying secret--and it is not at all what she had guessed.

With this new book, Elizabeth Sims presents another nail-biting thriller featuring her oh-so-human amateur detective. DAMN STRAIGHT sizzles and zings and will have you laughing through your shivers.
