Tag reviews Honor Among Thieves by Amy Gaertner
I went into this book pretty blind except for a brief blurb about the plot, describing it as a heist novel. From the blurb I had kind of high expectations, expecting something like a Bond-level plot and lofty, ultra-literary writing. When I opened the book and realized it was some 30 pages, I realized thatRead More

Guest Post: Radclyffe, editor of Love Burns Bright
Everyone—gay, straight, or otherwise—has heard the old adage: once the honeymoon is over, no one has sex much anymore. After all, we have jobs, kids, and mortgages to worry about—who has time for wild sex at all hours of the day and night?

Danika reviews Living as a Lesbian by Cheryl Clarke
Living as a Lesbian is a poetry collection that was first published in 1986, and has been recently republished with notes, reviews, a preface and introduction.

Lena reviews A Dying Place by Emma Johnson-Rivard
There’s an almost theatrical quality to A Dying Place, Emma Johnson-Rivard’s rather bleak fantasy story. In terms of setting and structure, the novel functions as a play and it speaks to Johnson-Rivard’s strengths as a writer that she’s able to let the characters sing through that format. The book opens with Ama’u, a veteran ofRead More
Guest Post: Mala Kumar on Her Upcoming Book, The Circumstance of Marriage
