Speak Its Name has a call out for well-written Lesbian Historical Romance.
To further that cause, and in the name of getting the most bang for a buck I can, I'm posting this list of books that are for sale at
EnjoyIt which might be useful for research, reading, or sharing. Some lesbian, some historical, some factual, some fiction, some seemingly odd until you realize they're snapshots of a period of time- but if (when? maybe) I attempt something in this vein, these will have been some of my references.
In regard to amazonfail: yes, my shop's an Amazon Associates shop. I'm looking at other places: Alibris.com, Biblio.com, but right now it's still all posted up at Amazon. I'm shipping until May 25th, then it goes on hiatus until mid-July.
To spare the FL, a cut before the list of books, which I hope tickle your imaginations and help produce glorious new works!
