In this third week of Pride month, Amy &amp; Justina and Harry interview THE Patrick Lenton, author of In Spite of You, who joins us for a wildly honest chat about queerness, the chaos of writing, and the unexpected beauty of Gimli and Legolas. We dive into craft, community, and smile with equal delight about the splendour of the romance community! Patrick Lenton is a journalist and writer who lives in Melbourne. He is an amazing comedy writer and a&nbsp;regular arts and culture commentator in the media, having appeared on The Project, ABC's The Mix, ABC Breakfast, and more. His independent publication, Nonsense, covers comedy, queer news and culture, and his debut rom-com novel, In Spite of You, releases this year (2025). &nbsp; LINKS Pre-order your copy of In Spite of You <a href="https://patricklenton.com/books">here</a>.
