Her provision of detail work is phenomenal! http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=EE00F8C4-19BB-3778-604CA91E9B36E136&r=3 2009-04-28T18:33:42-08:00 Sarah Waters I've read her books. I enjoy them as well. I wish she would come out with more. I also can't believe she killed off one of the main characters. I don't want to say the name in case you haven't read it yet... I also enjoy reading James Patterson's Women Murder Club series and some of the stuff from Nora Roberts. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=C0DC9972-19BB-3778-602DC7F6A0B339B3&r=4 2009-04-20T00:11:03-08:00 Karin Slaughter That's an English title of Tomek Tryzna's book. Original title "Panna nikt", Russian title "Devochka nikto". One of my favourite books. The story beginning in blood and ending in betrayal. Mary, a naive 15 year old girl from rural Poland moves with her family to the city. She makes a friend, the very eccentric Cathy, who dreams of becoming a great composer. When Cathys's moods become too much Mary takes up with Eva, a "bad girl" type from a very wealthy family. Mary happily imitates Eva's rebellious actions and they both dare each other to do things, then move on to death threats and develop a lesbian relationship. What happens next is both fascinating and heart-breaking. This is a book that holds you from the first page. A searing look at teenage girls that is universal.

She is best known for her novels set in Victorian society, such as Tipping the Velvet, Affinity and Fingersmith. (Some of You have probably seen BBC adaptations of her books). All of her books contain lesbian themes, and she does not mind being labelled a lesbian writer. I highly recommend to You all of her work. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=C0BF97F1-19BB-3778-604A48DDCC1B7538&r=6 2009-04-19T23:39:23-08:00 Sarah Waters Hello readers, My name is A.J. Walkley and I recently published the novel QUEER GREER. QUEER GREER is a coming of age story about high school junior Greer MacManus. Greer is uprooted from her childhood home in South Carolina when her father is determined to fulfill his strange but pressing dream to become a border-crossing coyote. Her parents take her and her younger sister to Prescott, Arizona to start a new life closer to the border. Greer enters a new school with the hopes of reinventing herself from the wallflower with one friend to speak of in order to become more of a social butterfly. She soon finds herself among the company of athletes, a swimmer herself. While she tries to get comfortable in her clique under the admiring eye of Cameron Keeting, the most attractive jock in school, Greer becomes increasingly interested in someone else. Rebecca Wilder, the beautiful swim team captain and infamous lesbian in town, befriends Greer, taking her under her wing. A love triangle soon overtakes Greer's world, leading to drug experimentation over the course of the year as she comes to grips with her sexuality. Shocked at the reactions of her best friend and boyfriend, and finding herself more alone than ever before, Greer turns to self-mutilation in order to cope when things start to fall apart. Without anyone to turn to, Greer must find an inner strength and the courage to be herself in a society that doesn't always understand. I wrote this story to give a voice to the bisexual teens out there who don't feel like they have any literature that speaks for or to them. As a bisexual myself, I grew up without any books to read that represented my experience, so I decided to write my own. I hope this book can help others questioning their sexuality, letting them know they are not alone.

I love them, there amazing. Romance, gotta love it. Also crime and mystery in dome of them. Here's names of some of her books: The Target The killing Room Dawn of change Gulf Breeze xxx http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=089451FD-19BB-3778-60F0712358641A24&r=8 2008-12-05T19:16:24-08:00 Gerri Hill I would call them 'soft' totally. You don't need to be a sci-fi geek to read this series. They are actually very simple to get - but in a beautifully simplistic kind of way. The books are very smart, don't get me wrong, but I think anyone can enjoy them no matter what kind of books they normally read. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=64254E76-19BB-3778-60D842135F187EC3&r=9 2008-11-03T20:57:25-08:00 Katherine V. Forrest Sci-Fi Well, [i]I[/i] didn't know about these - so thank you! I don't think that I really knew there was such a thing as lesbian sci-fi. Just out of curiosity, would you call her books hard or soft? http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=612C5969-19BB-3778-60D27FC9FA8E788E&r=10 2008-11-03T07:06:15-08:00 Katherine V. Forrest Sci-Fi Anyone here read any of her books? Personally I love her books, but the Grant County series is my fave! http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=50B79A7F-19BB-3778-6025D9628F8F618F&r=11 2008-10-31T02:24:49-08:00 Karin Slaughter I've read the whole series, it's actually one of my favorites. I'm not actually much of a sci-fi fan. I read them because I love Katherine's mystery novels. But I have to say I actually kind of liked these series even better than her mystery books. I like the hope of a future where women truly rule themselves! http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=1BE6FE0A-19BB-3778-6030B920BA3298A6&r=12 2008-10-20T20:16:42-08:00 Katherine V. Forrest Sci-Fi I'm sure most folks know these books. I was aware of them but had never read them. As a hardcore sci-fi buff I think I was a little wary of reading sci-fi from a 'lesbian mystery' writer. But after repeated recommendations I decided to give them a go recently -- and was very pleasantly surprised! Really good books, a little simplistic here and there but totally enjoyable, even for a heavy sci-fi buff. So if you love sci-fi, lesbian literature or just a good read, I highly recommend this series: Daughters of a Coral Dawn Daughters of an Amber Noon Daughters of an Emerald Dusk All available through [url=]http://www.alyson.com/alyson-bookstore.html[/url]. http://www.shewired.com/forum/messages.cfm?messageid=0BA4D1B5-19BB-3778-603624E28E54FC7A&r=13 2008-10-17T16:30:30-08:00 Katherine V.
