The Country of Lesbian Fiction – Bring Your Own Map

Karin Kallmaker 09/02/2007 Business of Books, Readers and Libraries

I know that some people mean it pejoratively when they say uber or fanfic, just as some mean it pejoratively when they say romance.

  • Trivia – Painted Moon
    On the original cover of Painted Moon, the figures are a woman and... a dog. Absolutely, it's a dog. (Hop over to the "all about" for Painted Moon and open the "Covers Past and Present" gallery. It's the light tealy-bluish one.)
