What’s up w/Sapphic, Age-Gap Romance Books?
Sapphic, Age-Gap Romance Books: One of the Most Forbidden Love Tropes. But Why? I’m a sucker for a juicy, sapphic, age-gap romance book. You know the ones. Two women with at least a ten-year age difference—the older, usually confident, smart and independent, perhaps a professor or a boss, and the younger, maybe her student or […]

Revealing Lesbian Novel by Melanie Mitzner
Slow Reveal by Melanie Mitzner Set in 1990s New York, Slow Reveal paints an extraordinary portrait of artists who defy the arbiters of culture and challenge social norms.

All sorts of books are categorized as (lez lit) by LGBTQ people themselves. This trend is not encouraging queer women to tenaciously explore and document our lesbian experiences...
Lesbian Literature: In Search of Pure Lust
“In Search of Pure Lust is more than a meditation on queer identity. It’s an incredible coming-of-age memoir that claims a woman’s right to be herself, wherever and whenever she may be. Weil’s writing is smooth, polished, and lovely. Pure Lust explores a wide range of emotions and experiences, from laugh-out-loud moments to love scenes that take your breath away. […]
The Trouser Question, by Novelist Vanda
Fashion is about more than just clothes. Fashion is about what we wear to tell the world who are, what we’re feeling, what we’ve accomplished, and to what culture we belong. Wearing the clothing of our group is what helps us to fit in. Or not. How much room a culture allows us to deviate […]
Lesbian Fiction: Life in Post World War II NYC
Oh jeepers! I was wearing a red dress. I’d forgotten that everything in Sardi’s is red or maroon. The walls, the banquettes, the seats, the menus, the awning outside. As I worried about how to get out of my red dress without being noticed, Juliana came through the door, stepping feather-light on Sardi’s maroon carpet. […]
Lesbian Lit: Excerpt from ‘Kiss Me Again Paris’

Emma herself had her own “atelier†in the 14th arrondissement, although she had nothing to do with art. Opening the massive, polished […]
Lesbian Book Trailer: Kiss Me Again Paris
Just like everyone, I love movie trailers, those that entice and don’t give away the whole story at a glance. That book trailers can do something similar, is a fairly new idea, but more authors are playing with the new medium. We live in the audiovisual age! My Paris memoir has 130 vintage photographs, which […]
