Lesbian Book Trailer: Kiss Me Again Paris
Just like everyone, I love movie trailers, those that entice and don’t give away the whole story at a glance. That book trailers can do something similar, is a fairly new idea, but more authors are playing with the new medium. We live in the audiovisual age! My Paris memoir has 130 vintage photographs, which […]

Lesbian Love: Me Talk Pretty Silly One Day
Forgive me for paraphrasing David Sedaris, but we have a point in common. Isn’t everybody tired of advice, lesbian relationship advice and more advice, and isn’t it time to laugh a bit? Advice from counselors is a funny thing: I sometimes think it’s silly to give advice: how to be happy, how to be rich, […]
Lesbian Travelers on ‘The Royal Road’
In the opening moments of the film The Royal Road, Jenni Olson‘s narrative voice speaks softly against the backdrop of a beautiful scene of the San Francisco Bay: “I’m inordinately obsessed with the stories of others, seeking within them the key to my sharing my own. I want to tell you a story about love […]
Lesbian Valentine’s Day Do’s and Don’t’s
I was talking to my niece and nephew in Germany about holidays and gifts. The holiday “tyranny,†we like to call it. We have all stopped giving gifts to each other. “But the girls,†my nephew remarked, “they want gifts because it’s romantic.†Christmas is barely over and there’s the next gift-holiday approaching. Valentine’s has […]

In fact, we’re right in the thick of it– preparations are being made, money is being spent, and that deeply ingrained sense of doom which occurs every year around this time is rising to the surface: The Grudge Beast is getting ready to unleash. Every Christmas, couples go through […]
The Sex That Dare Not Speak Its Name?
Brave new world of e-publishing: We changed the title of our book. Not while we were writing it, not prior to publication, not before anyone had caught sight of the original title and cover. The book had been out in the world and circulating, physically and electronically; we’d read it from it at public events, […]
The New Art of Capturing Love
The New Art of Capturing Love by Kathryn Hamm and Thea Dodds is a great new book for lesbians and their gay and straight friends and families. A book that captures love from “until death do you part“ in gorgeous photography and beautiful writing. How refreshing to see conventions fall and be replaced by the new images that […]
Marriage is a Trickster
Excerpt from Lesbian Marriage: A Sex Survival Kit By Kim Chernin and Renate Stendhal Marriage is not the remedy for couple trouble! But there is a lot of magical and wishful thinking about it: marriage will give you a new start, fix your problems, fulfill your dreams… It’s the myth of the “Make-Over Marriage.†(Should […]
Lesbian Marriage: YES I DO
