• Longing, Lust, and Love: Black Lesbian Stories -- Nominated 2007 Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Debut Fiction
  You've heard about it, you've read about it, most of us have been through it, the various stages of lesbian love. It starts with the lingering looks across the room at an interesting stranger, romantic e-mails, flowers, and wearing leather on your first date. Then once you have her, stage two kicks off with all night sex sessions that leave you sore but still wanting more. Soon you don't even want to leave the house for months, and some of your friends even forget your name. Then, if you're lucky (and not on the second date, mind you), the third stage comes around and you've settled into the comfy couch of your relationship.

• A Deeper Love (2002)
  When Angel Reynolds found herself at a white lesbian bar on Christmas Eve, she never expected to encounter two women that would drastically change her life. The first was Kimberly Chase, a young woman who is totally in awe of Angel and wants to go bar hopping with her. The other is Paula Travis, an older, attractive woman who Angel meets at a black lesbian club. Through this encounter, Angel and Paula begin a journey towards a deeper love for self, and an exciting love affair. Join them as their instant attraction is challenged by racial prejudices, self identity and self rejection. In the end the two must realize, as well as we all should that once you have a deeper love within yourself, it will create a sense of self pride and respect that will be reflected within others.
