Lee Henshaw

Fruit Tree Books released the Queer Fish in God’s Waiting Room audiobook in early 2011. The American actor Adrian Pasdar (Heroes, Castle and Iron Man) recorded the audiobook in Manhattan in the summer of 2010.

Working as a journalist, Henshaw’s writing has appeared in many high-profile publications in the UK, including The Guardian, The Observer and The Times.

His first novel, Queer Fish in God's Waiting Room, was published by Legend Press in 2008 and was called 'distinctive and engaging' by The Guardian. It also received praise from comedian and author Dom Joly. He called it ‘simply brilliant’ and described Lee as ‘a stoned new Kerouac’.

His first book, a biography of the rock band Oasis, was published in 1996.

In 1993 he became the music columnist and a feature writer for The Manchester Evening News.

While at university in Manchester in 1990 he recorded features for Mark Radcliffe’s BBC Radio 5 show Hit The North and wrote features for the listings magazine City Life.

In 1989, during his ‘year out’ between A Levels and University, Henshaw wrote for his local newspaper, The Macclesfield Express, as a music columnist. He also published a local music fanzine called Feedback.

Henshaw currently lives in London with his wife and two children and is working on his next novel, The Uncertainty of Friendship, a tragedy set in Macclesfield in 1989.
