Welcome back Dominic Lim, author, singer, and storyteller, to the show! We first talked to Dom back in Fall 2022, when he'd signed his two-book deal. We caught up with him again last summer when his debut novel All the Right Notes launched to great acclaim: it was named a 2023 best book by over 20 publications, including USA Today, Harper’s Bazaar, Goodreads, the SF Chronicle, and Entertainment Weekly. And now, Dom is preparing for the launch of his second novel, Karaoke Queen, which comes out September 17th, 2024.
In this episode, you’ll get a sneak peek into Karaoke Queen, which marks history as the first published romance novel with a drag queen as its main character.
Dom is a member of the Writers Grotto and a co-host of the Babylon Salon reading and performance series in San Francisco. He studied psychology at Oberlin and got his masters from Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. As a proud member of the Actors’ Equity Association he's sung and performed Off-Broadway and in regional productions throughout the US.
Find Dominic at dominiclim.com, and buy Karaoke Queen wherever you get your books.
