Years ago, I read Speaking Dreams by Severna Park, and I loved it. Anyone know of any good lesbian sci-fi or fantasy novels or series? I'm sure someone has made a list somewhere. |

Try Melissa Scott. She has a couple of SF books with lesbian characters. Nicola Griffith does also (Ammonite and Slow River).

John Varley's Titan, Wizard and Demon. While not outright there is a strong hint that one of the main characters is a lesbian.

I'm gonna have to check out the sci-fi Bending the Landscape. I read the horror one and it was brilliant. |

The Meadowlark Sings by Helen Ruth Schwartz. Written awhile back, because the year is 2008, and that is the future. Good book. |
|||
|

I have "Zeta Base" listed. Not sure if it is enough Sci Fi for you or not. |

These are from this year's Lambda awards. Under Fantasy/SF/Horror category. Winner to be announced in May. But the list always gives me books to look for.
They have updated their website. http://www.lambdaliterary.org/ Winners from previous years are under Awards, Winners and Finalists. |

I just noticed a new lesbian urban fantasy at the bookstore. Black Blade Blues by J A Pitts. Did not realize it was lesbian until I got home and started searching for reviews. Oh. Found out it is written by a guy. Yep. Last Edited on: 7/11/10 8:15 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

The Elemental Logic series by Laurie J. Marks is brilliant. Language like butter, and world that's just as developed as the characters. |

I am a really big fan of Melissa Scott. Trouble and her Friends is probably the most overtly lesbian of her books, but a lot of them, especially the later ones, have gender issues of various kinds as major themes. Just got a whole bunch of her early books from the club. I'm also a big fan of Marion Zimmer Bradley. Most of her Darkover books have gender themes, including the Renunciate books, but the last ruler of the Comyn in the books is a gay man as well. |

Saber & Shadow by S.M. Sterling and Shirley Meier. I have a nice copy on my Bookshelf - no spine creases. |
