Lesbian Fiction: Magical Echo

Okay, so the books this lady writes are not about lesbian life. In fact, they're often about something much
different. (Usually zombies, the paranormal, or some form of other supernatural phenomenon.)

BUT hear me out here. Lesbian authors are something we don't hear much of, so we have to support the ones we do have, right?!

We heard about Linda Kay Silva from one of her fans, recommending us to read her work. And what great work it is!

If you head over to Linda's official website, http://www.lindakaysilva.com/, you will be greeted with a free preview of Magical Echo. The website also contains a list of Silva's former works, which you might also want to check out.

You can purchase some of Linda's awesome writing via Amazon or www.sapphirebooks.com.

Don't miss out! Make sure to support a talented, lesbian author today.

Lesbian Short Film: Consequences

Remember that lesbian short film by the wonderfully talented Dani van Herk we introduced you to? (If you don't, click HERE!)

Well, Dani specializes in lesbian short films, and here we have another one for you to view!


This one is slightly longer and brand new, but the lesbian drama and the hot Australian accents remain.

Check it out!

LESBOOK REVIEW: But She is My Student

Looking for some easy-read, lesbian novels?

Then we have a treat for you!


Kiki Archer is an up and coming, out lesbian author from the United Kingdom.

Her first, best-selling novel, But She is My Student caters chiefly to the lady lovin' lady audience - not to say men and straight women can't enjoy it too!

BSIMS tells the story of a forbidden romance between a teacher and her student - now where have we heard that before?

However, unlike its motion picture siblings (Loving Annabelle, Bloomington), Archer's tale has a difference.

First and foremost, it is set in a UK school. True, there are some references that North American (and other) audiences won't understand, but don't worry - this novel won't leave you feeling lost.

Archer succeeds in including relevant, modern allusions and interweaves them with an exciting plot that will leave you not wanting to put the book down. Of course, me being the grammar Nazi that I am, I spotted some grammar errors, but they don't get in the way of telling this great story.

The dialogue between the protagonists and their friends is never unrealistic - I'm pretty sure I've had some of these exact conversations in my real life! - and the characters are easily relatable, what with all their anxieties and drama, creating a love for each personality.

Perhaps the biggest difference from most lesbian media we see today is the ending. I won't spoil it for you, but it won't leave you disappointed like the majority of lesbian fiction.

On the whole, Kiki Archer is no doubt one of the top lesbian authors of today - being gay herself really shows throughout the novel and you can tell she has an understanding of troubles the LGBTQ community goes through day by day.

LesBook Rating: 9 out of 10 - I'm not saying its perfect, but its definitely worth a read! (Especially with there being so little, good lesbian novels out there.)

Click HERE to download the (extremely cheap!) Kindle version of But She is My Student. (And HERE if you're in North America!)
