A Day at the Inn, A Night at the Palace and Other Stories is a collection of short works from Catherine Lundoff. These ten stories run the range of speculative fiction, from an intriguing “highwayman” in “Regency Masquerade” to the Fae choice of love in “A Scent of Roses” to fighting for an Egyptian artifactRead More
Casey reviews The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith
I read Patricia Highsmith’s 1952 novel The Price of Salt soon after finishing Ann Bannon’s lesbian pulp novel Odd Girl Out (1957), so I was understandably feeling jaded and a bit guarded. Bannon’s novel, for those of you who haven’t read it, ends quite depressingly when one of the two lovers, Beth, decides that lesbianismRead More

Guest Post by Amy Gaertner: A Literary Love of Women
I love women. That’s… not just a statement about my dating preferences. I love watching women, hearing women, reading about women; as a writer, I love writing about women. (And, okay: I love men, too. Especially when they’re interacting with women!) I hate to see female characters all painted with the same brush, or treatedRead More
Anna K. reviews Times Two by Kristen Henderson and Sarah Kate Ellis
Sarah Kate Ellis is the vice president of marketing at Real Simple magazine, and Kristen Henderson is the bassist and a founding member of the band Antigone Rising. And they’re a lesbian couple who both became pregnant via the same donor on the same day. Terrible plan, you think? Maybe…if it had been theRead More
Mfred Reviews Fire Logic by Laurie J Marks.
A friend recommended Fire Logic to me, partly because I am a long-time fantasy novel enthusiast, but also with the specific note that it is one of those “invisibly queer” books. By invisible, I do not mean closeted, repressed, or filled with subtext– instead, Fire Logic presents a world where queer characters are never explained;Read More
Allysa reviews Nevermore by Nell Stark and Trinity Tam
Nevermore by Nell Stark and Trinity Tam is the sequel to their previous vampire-and-shifter novel, everafter. When we last saw our protagonists, Valentine and Alexa, they had begun adjusting to life together as a vampire and a were-panther, and had taken down the vampire that forcibly turned Valentine. At the beginning of nevermore, Valentine andRead More
Anna M. reviews Switch by Q. Kelly
I read and enjoyed Q. Kelly’s novel Strange Bedfellows, and was glad to have the opportunity to read her latest book, Switch. Kelly says on her website that most of her ideas are adapted from real events, and this book addresses the repercussions in the lives of two women when it is discovered that theyRead More
Casey reviews The Miseducation of Cameron Post by emily m. danforth
The first sentence of emily m. danforth’s much-talked about debut young adult novel, The Miseducation of Cameron Post, is one of those opening lines you’ll never forget, like Jane Austen’s brilliant opening to Pride and Prejudice: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be inRead More
