She states, “I began reading lesbian fiction at the age of twelve when I found a copy of Ann Bannon’s Beebo Brinker. That book and others like it convinced me that I was not alone, that there were other women who felt like I did. Our literature provides support and validation and very often, a lifeline, for members of our community throughout the world. I am proud and honored to be able to publish the many fine authors at Bold Strokes Books and to contribute in some small way to the words that celebrate the LGBTQ experience.”

Radclyffe lives with her partner, Lee, in New York state.

This was just a very bad short-story, seems that she's way overhyped with her writing, plus this easily could have been written into a longer story and just the setting alone would make it happen. It's a ranch setting you have an older boss lady, then a young lady who's a College graduate, involves horses, showing them and maintenance.

Since her brother worked on the Ranch, that she easily could have had the two messing around, the sister knew it, watched them, decided to mess with her also and that how she could have written a much longer story.

Have one other short story to read from this Radclyffe, then I'm done reading anything from her and won't recommend anyone to read her books.

3 stars. Meh. Well written but ultimately forgettable.

So hot

This was unbelievably hot. And then it ended too early. I mean, I knew it was a short story, but I forgot, because it was so good! LOL!
