Happy weekend!
Saturdays are when we curate all the sapphic book news and queer happenings of the week into one convenient location. Think of it as your personal reading directory! After all, we know the weekend is when so many of us are able to unwind for a minute and want to get lost in a good woman loving woman book. What could be better?
In today’s post, you’ll find cheerful LGBTQ+ news stories to combat all the negative ones bombarding our screens.
Sapphic reader Nicole shares an adorable Caturday photo.
One of the things we love about the weekly lesfic author selfie is getting to know the personality behind the words. Check out sapphic fiction author S.E. Reed with the book Old Palmetto Drive.
Finally, scroll to the bottom of the post to see photos of TB and Miranda’s visit to the coast of Maine.
Before we get to today’s post, it’s time to reveal the identity of this week’s Guess the Author!
Every week we provide five clues about a sapphic author. On Saturday, we reveal the author’s identity.
Before we unveil this week’s author, here are all 5 clues in case you missed them:
1. The sea is my favorite color.
2. My first book is partially set on a popular Caribbean island.
3. I received a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing after publishing my first two books.
4. MINI Coopers are my favorite cars but now, since I don’t have to drive, I’m happily car-free.
5. My latest book (along with the others in the trilogy) takes place in Atlanta, GA.
Now it’s time to reveal their name. Drum roll please…
This week’s author is Fiona Zedde!
Check out Just Like Her, Fiona Zedde’s new release!
Has this 40-year-old virgin finally found someone who makes her want to risk it all?
In this slow burn, friends to lovers romance, Delphine’s life is made up of secrets. About her passions, her sexual identity, and even her past.
She coasts along on a tide of half-truths until a familiar “straight” woman splashes deeper into her world, threatening her tenuous peace of mind.
This woman wants to be everything Delphine has never had before – a confidant, a seductress, a trusted lover. But, by giving in to this siren, is Delphine setting herself up for heartbreak?
Fiona Zedde’s bio:
Jamaican-born Fiona Zedde currently lives and writes in Madrid, Spain. She is the author of several novellas and novels of LesBiQueer love and desire, including the Lambda Literary Award finalists, Bliss and Every Dark Desire. Her novel Just Like Her is available now.
