BLUE YEAR
"How many more birthdays until my body falls silent,
a spring without birds?"When an unnamed lesbian wakes on another birthday, she knows she’s no longer young. But it's not too late to dance to the music of desire. She gives herself a year—a BLUE YEAR—of erotic adventure.Body, mind, spirit. From the coming of spring to winter solstice, from the memory of first kisses to a vision of her last, her passion for women blazes. And behind it all, a mystical, universal love.*Advance praise for BLUE YEAR:“Beautifully written, funny, ghost pepper hot. Spice for the thinking sapphic.”
—Lavender City News“Not to be missed. An exquisitely, powerfully written book.”
—Mary Dearborn, biographer, author of Carson McCullers : A LifeRelease date: June 1, 2026. Available for pre-order.CLICK FOR PAPERBACK
