The one subgenre I’ve yet to master is romantic comedy. Although some readers have reported on my sense of humor in books, even noting several laugh-out-loud moments, I believe that romantic comedies are the hardest to pull off. I can think of only a handful of sapphic authors who execute this subgenre with perfection. Recently,… Read More Funny Words
This past week, on my way to Seattle, I listened to NPR as is my normal thing to do, and was delighted to hear that I’m not the only one actively avoiding listening to or reading the depressing news. Normally, I incessantly scroll through the news for any positive sign that things won’t go terribly… Read More The Benefits of Reading Fiction
Lately, I’ve been shutting myself off from the depressing news cycle. I was happy to learn that my sisters across the pond in the UK have seen their world take a dramatic turn. Thank goodness for that. I’m hoping that will rub off on the US because even the news outlets that I’ve relied on,… Read More Funny Cat Videos

In fact, when going to the HRC site, I found twenty-five different flags, representing almost everyone I could… Read More Pride Flags
I almost can’t believe that my Medicare card came in the mail while I was in Mexico…proof that my sixty-fifth birthday is just around the corner. I’m all set to go on Medicare, I’ve been retired for over 4 years now, and I spend an inordinate amount of time in lesbian pajamas (sweats and a… Read More Life Expectancy of Lesbians
It should come as no surprise to many of you that my weekly scroll through the news confirmed what I already knew…it’s official…a new research study concluded that straight women have fewer orgasms than lesbians. Well…duh! I could have told them that from my very limited research on the subject. Back in the time when… Read More Orgasms…who has more?
Sapphic romance is really no different than traditional mainstream heterosexual romance. There’s one rule that rises to the top. You can’t kill off one of the main characters.
