Anthologies of Lesbian Romance

Fairytales Slashed Volume 4

Picture
_A bumper anthology of one f/f  and four m/m fairytales.

Sometimes taking a chance on a stranger is worth the risk ... The Fairy's Assistant is a stranger wherever he goes, except to the knight determined to capture him once and for all. The Prince of the Moon desperately seeks to break the curse on his kingdom, but will the stranger who arrives to help him prove to be only a hindrance? In Learning to See a man saves his family by sacrificing everything to a stranger in a mysterious castle. Cinder-Elle lost his birthright alongside his vision, and his dreary days are brightened only by a man he met by chance in the marketplace, a man about whom he knows very little … and Capture the Moon is about a woman who leaves home in the guise of a boy to see what the world has to offer. 

  • Authors: Stories in this compilation of fairy tales are written by Julia Alaric, Megan Derr, Mell Eight, J.L. Merrow, and Sasha L. Miller.

My story: Capture the Moon (f/f)

When country girl Adrien disguises herself as a boy and sets out with her faithful piglet Ferkel to seek her fortune, she little expects to meet a beautiful princess—and what’s more, fall in love with her! Selene, for her part, has despaired of finding anyone to love, and has vowed to marry only the man who can bring her the moon. But does she mean this literally, or does she have her own secret desires?

An old-fashioned fairy tale...well, sort of!

Available in ebook now and in a print anthology from September 2012.

She Shifters anthology from Cleis Press (f/f)

Picture
The idea of shapeshifters—beings both human and animal—ignites our imaginations with visions of primal passions and insatiable hungers. Most commonly seen as dark, masculine demons, shapeshifters are in need of a metaphysical overhaul—a new feminine/Sapphic blending of physical power and inescapable desires.
She Shifters re-envisions common and not-so-common myths and deliver a fresh perspective from the storytellers. Traditional lycanthropes and feline familiars appear, was well as more obscure, lesser-known mythologies from around the world to create inventive tales celebrating feminine power, lust, and erotic love..

My stories: Nine Days and Seven Tears; and Belling the Kat.


a fine host of fiction... She Shifters explores a wide array of metaphors for female sexuality and lesbian intimacy and presents the reader with an accessible selection of stories that can be enjoyed for the surface pleasure of erotic fulfilment, or can be considered for the greater depth that they give to this genre - Ashley Lister, Erotica Revealed

a totally different look at the phenomena of shifting and it is an excellent read....Be prepared for a wild and exciting read and one you will not soon forget - Reviews by Amos Lassen

It sizzles, it soars, and it captures your attention - Kathleen Tudor

Now available in paperback from Cleis Press and on Amazon.

Best Lesbian Romance 2012

Picture
__ In this sizzling new treasury, erotica maestro Radclyffe has assembled over two dozen titilating tales of lesbian couples taking each other to new heights of happily bedded bliss.

Imagination and experimentation are the key that unlocks the hearts of these lesbian love stories and every kind of love you CAN imagine are told in stories redolent of romance, risk-taking, and, even gobsmackingly surprising true love. There are virgins, long-time companions, and very memorable one-night stands.  Available in paperback.

Includes my story Blazing June, previously published in the Lesbian Cops anthology.


Lesbian Cops anthology

Picture
2012 Lambda Literary award finalist

What is it about lesbian cops that pushes all the right buttons? It’s not just the uniform, with handcuffs and weapons, or the confidence, authority, and sense of danger. There’s something more as well, an irresistible force that these writers have channeled into fiercely erotic stories of policewomen in or out of uniform, on patrol or undercover, in charge or in need of healing, on the case or under the sheets. 
Edited by Sacchi Green.

My story: Blazing June

Single mum Carla calls the police to help out her elderly neighbour - and ends up making a connection she hadn't expected with the WPC who comes to her aid.
