In 1983 Naiad Press published her first books, including Toothpick House and Old Dyke Tales. Her novel The Swashbuckler was presented in NYC as a play scripted by Sarah Schulman. Lynch’s play “Getting Into Life” caused consternation when performed in Tucson, AZ , due to its realistic portrayal of lesbians. Her newest novel, Beggar of Love, will be available this fall from Bold Strokes Books.
