It is only in certain circles that one hears Greg Rucka’s name added to the discussion about not-necessarily-heterosexual women in fiction. He stands (in my mind) alongside Gail Simone and Ed Brubaker when listing the writers who have made a positive mark on comics (specifically the DC Universe) when it comes to women. I wroteRead More
Lena reviews Ascension by Jacqueline Koyanagi
We learn in elementary school not to judge a book by its cover, but it might be worth it for Jacqueline Koyanagi’s debut novel. The woman on the front looks a bit like Gina Torres if Firefly had merged with Star Wars and it’s completely amazing. What’s inside is a completely entertaining science fiction adventureRead More
Danika reviews Queers Dig Time Lords edited by Sigrid Ellis and Michael Damian Thomas
I feel like, really, if this book is for you, it probably already had you by the title. This is a collection of essays by queer Doctor Who fans about how their fandom and queer lives intersect. When I heard that this was coming out, I was ridiculously excited about it, even more so whenRead More
Anna M. reviews Desert of the Heart by Jane Rule
I became aware of the movie Desert Hearts (1985) when I (like the protagonist of the film It’s in the Water) was scouring my local video stores for movies with lesbian content. It was the mid- to late-90s, and there were still stores with actual videos in them. I have watched Desert Hearts–and Go Fish,Read More

Walking the Labyrinth is definitely not the typical formula for a lesbian romance novel. It begins one year after Lee’s wife dies. Lee is deeply in mourning, and has grown listless and depressed.

Alana Quick has always dreamed of going to the stars, not being stuck on her planet fixing starships for (barely) a living. So when a crew from the Tangled Axon comes looking for her sister, Nova, and Nova’s talents as a spirit guide, Alana decides to stow away on the ship, hoping for a chanceRead More
Casey reviews The Chronology of Water by Lidia Yuknavitch
I heard many, many good things about Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir before I picked it up. On the one hand, many readers who are also great writers (Ivan E Coyote and Alex Leslie among them) had recommended it, so I thought it should be a sure bet. On the other hand, it’s always a bit dangerousRead More

Katie reviews Miserere by Caren J. Werlinger
Miserere by Caren J. Werlinger was an utterly engaging read. I was captivated from the first page and could scarcely put it down. It’s an intriguing mix of mystery, ghost story, love story, and social commentary, and Werlinger melds all of these together to create a cohesive and compelling story. When the story opens, it seemsRead More
