Ep:055 Randy Boyd has been a professional writer his entire adult life. His four novels have been nominated for five Lambda Literary Awards and all feature main characters who are black, gay and living with HIV/AIDS. Two of them are mystery/thrillers. In his first novel, Uprising, three famous but closeted celebrities plot to assassinate a homophobic US Senator, while a straight FBI agent goes undercover to stop them. Uprising was a 1999 Lambda Literary Award Finalist in Best Men’s Mystery and Best Small Press Title.

In his third novel, The Devil Inside, a black gay businessman must figure out if the new man in his life is a dream lover or date from hell with ties to a sinister plot to demonize all homosexuals. The Devil Inside was a 2003 Lambda Literary Award Finalist for Best Science Fiction, Horror, Fantasy, and a Gaylactic Spectrum Awards nominee for Best Science Fiction Novel.
