Inkmarks On Empty Dreams

When I first started to read “Djara” Book 1 by Kat Evans, I didn’t know what to expect, but a lesbian romance enveloped in a western story (It is so much more than that). I read all the reviews, of course, but they didn’t tell me much (best kept secrets) and the title didn’t help solve my mystery, so I just read and read until the end , where it left me panting for Book 2. After few pages all I imagined in Djara was Sharon Stone in the “Quick and the dead”. Somehow I tend to compare characters I found alike in the smallest of details. It is not the same character of course, but Djara is not driven by revenge like Ellen and there is nothing alike between the characters. The only similarity is the looks, the long blonde hair, her beauty, their emotions and the gunfighter skills. sharon stone with horse in quick and the death as djara Loved the choice of names. Eden is a beautiful name. Djara’s name origin is from old Norse gera, gøra, gørva, from Proto-Germanic *garwijan...

The hot thing about “How sweet it is” is the idea of the book: how is it possible to fall in love with your lost love’s sister?? I wouldn’t have thought about such an antithesis in the main characters’ life, but I am so glad Melissa Brayden has and thus, created an amazing controversy between the characters and their families and their image in small town Applewood, Illinois. The two main characters are: Molly O’Brien and Jordan Tuscana The reader meets them when they gather together with the Tuscana family to share and to hold four years since Jordan’s bigger sister Cassie has died in a plane crash. Cassie happend to be Molly’s girlfriend. Molly, Cassie and Jordan grew together in the small town they were born. The difference is that Jordan knew she loved Molly from the moment she has first seen her and lost Molly some minutes later when she and Cassie first lay eyes on each other. Cassie has always been their parent’s beloved daughter, who always made them proud, stud...

  I was curious to read “Scandal in the wind” by KT Grant, because some time ago, I read a similar book: “Her most secret affair” by Jesalin Creswell, not because I wanted to compare them, but because I wanted to see the authors’ different view on a similar subject. “Her most secret affair” by Jesalin Creswell Publication Date:  June 26 th, 2015 “Scandal in the wind” by KT Grant Published November 4th 2011 by Ravenous Romance Although it was published later in 2015,  “Her most secret affair” by Jesalin Creswell was the one I read first and I was impressed by the rich language and metaphors used and also by the beautiful story and a small lack of turning points. I cannot certainly say it was inspired by “Scandal in the wind” by KT Grant, but hint it surely is, yet still I am in awe on how I can read two books by different authors on the almost same subject and be impressed and love both points of view and stories. I loved “Scandal in the wind” by KT Gra...

“We can be an army of two. We can be Plato’s perfect army: lovers, who will never behave dishonorably in each other’s sight, and invincible. Let the world either kill us or grow accustomed to us; here we stand.” Alma Routsong alias Isabel Miller, her penname, referencing her mother’s maiden name and an anagram of the word “lesbia” writes the story of the pioneers: painter Mary Ann Wilson and her partner Mrs. Brundidge. She saw Mary Ann Wilson’s name in a museum, while admiring one of her folk-art paintings, when Alma read a small review out of which she realized Mary Ann’s partner was another woman and that is when she start being interested in writing about their lives. Alma and her partner even communicated with Mary Ann and her partner through a Ouija board and found out that Mrs. Brundidge’s first name was Florence. The book’s original name was “A place for us” and after it was renamed to “Patience and Sarah” it was first published in 1969 and of course it was self-published by ...

"The Battle of the Sexes" is a biographical sports comedy drama based on the true story tennis match of 1973 in a packed Houston Astrodome. It stars Emma Stone and Steve Carell, respectively women’s No 1 Billie Jean King and fiftysomething ex-champ and self-proclaimed “male chauvinist pig” Bobby Riggs – fighting to prove that men are better at tennis and better, full stop. "He made a bet, she made history" The film crucially faces the same challenge as the participants from real life: the challenge of tone. How unseriously should this match be taken? How strenuously should the attitude of casual joking be maintained? No one involved in this encounter could be certain of its outcome; neither side could be sure of avoiding humiliation, and thus everyone had a vested interest in keeping it light. Up to a point. But only one side was facing joking as a weapon, the same weapon of boorish condescension and toxic exchanges that they faced outside the sporting arena every...

``Spring fire`` is the first lesbian paperback novel that first appeared in 1952 and sold an amazing 1.5 million copies. It launched the genre of lesbian novels and the career of Vin Packer, pseudonym for prolific author Marijane Meaker. Being the first lesbian novel pulp fiction of the genre, it made me kind of sad that the author couldn’t actually choose the destiny of the characters and that was also forced to put two very beautiful and almost naked women on the cover as it would sell and also, no happy ending, do not promote lesbianism and one of them should decide she is no lesbian and the other is supposed to be sick or crazy. In the new introduction of the book, the author remembers how this book was published and which conditions she was asked by the publisher : ``You might have a good story there``, Dick said, ``but you`d have to do two things. The girls would have to be in college, not boarding school. And, you cannot make homosexuality attractive. No happy e...
