"Where My Heart Goes" is now available!

[hrj]

The anthology Through the Hourglass is now available from Amazon Kindle. (Other e-book formats and hard copy will be available soon.)



Sixteen lesbian historical romance short stories, ranging from 10th century Iceland through 20th century America. (Over half the stories are set in the 20th century.)

My story is an imagined romance between the Siennese poet Laudomia Forteguerri and Duchess Margaret of Parma, illegitimate daughter of Emperor Charles V, inspired by the love sonnets Laudomia wrote to her and the witness of their contemporaries that "with the most ardent flames of Love each burned for the other." I'll be blogging more soon about my research for this story and the fascinating lives of these two women.

I haven't had a chance to read the rest of the stories yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

Please to let me know when there is Kobo? Kobo I have an account for.

I've actually suggested your name as a potential reviewer, so you might want to hold off on that.

...free books are also good. *g*

Hawkwing, I co-edited this book, but I also have another anthology just out, with an historical theme, and I'm in search of reviewers. The catch is, depending on what you consider a catch, that this one is erotica rather than romance. Thunder of Desire, Lightning of Desire: Lesbian Historical Military Erotica (Lethe Press).

Let me know if you're interested.

My name's Liz Bourke, I review for a bunch of specfic places (though for something like this collection, probably a review would only happen on my blog) and you can reach me at bourkeen at gmail dot com if you want to provide me with review copies of either collection.

I can't promise a review will be forthcoming, since I'm swamped with reading for the Clarke Award and a bunch of other things landed on my desk, but I am definitely interested in historical fiction and queer women.

(Hi, Heather. Sorry to be clogging up your comments!)

Not at all, not at all. Carry on.
