Anyone have recs for books or series that feature LGBT or Poly characters?

There's a lesbian werewolf novel calledSilver Kissby Naomi Clark.

There's also the Little Goddess series by Amy Lane which is poly and contains m/m. It can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/series/4176...
So far there are four books, but Amy Lane is working on the fifth book.

Here's a few off the top of my head:

- the lead is bi and a supporting character is a lesbian.

- the lead is bi

The Craft Sequence series by Max Gladstone has a very diverse world. In book 2 a supporting character is a lesbian. In the 3rd book the main character is trans.

the lead is a lesbian and other characters are LGBT.

Iron & Velvet, Last Car to Annwn Station, and The Midnight Hunt are all paranormal stories with main characters who are lesbians.

For m/m, I suggest the PsyCop series, starting with Among the Living, the Avian Shifters series starting with Duck! (currently out of print, but the author is working on a revised 2nd edition, so I'd keep in on your radar for the future), the Whyborne & Griffin series starting with Widdershins, the Charm of Magpies series starting with The Magpie Lord, and a standalone title Brute.

Static and Blacker than Black both feature trans* characters, and the Oestend duology starting with Song of Oestend has one m/m story and one trans* story.

main character is a lesbian

gay main character

series about three sisters one is poly and another is bisexual.

has all Les, Het and Gay characters. there is even a book long arc between two of the three main characters.

Most of her work is sci-fi, not fantasy, but check out Melissa Scott. Melissa Scott

Not all of her books are available electronically, but she's trying to get rights to her backlist and republish them as she can. Wonderful writer.

She wrote some fantasy novels in collaboration, but IMAO these aren't her best work. She excels in science fiction and I think she wrote the best book on gender that I've ever read: Shadow Man. So if you're willing to read science fiction, this is extraordinary.

Tanya Huff has LGBT & poly characters in many of her books/series.

The anthology "Glitter and Mayhem" is full of LGBT stories and I believe I remember one had mentions of poly in one story.

Sorry I can't link on my phone.

Fantastic anthology - I'm glad you mentioned it!

Thanks ladymurmur! :)

In Yasmine Galenorn's great Otherworld/Sisters of the Moon series one of the main characters is a married to three husbands and another main character is a bi. The first book in the series is Witchling.

I also recommend The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer. It's a fantastic retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone.

Yes, her spinoff of the blood series with Tony, the trilogy with his as the MC, and he is gay
