Online Lesbian Fiction

Lee Harlem Robinson is “bringing light lesbian fiction straight to readers.” Robinson (a fictitious character) looks back over the last 10 years of her life in an attempt to figure out how she ended up lonely and seemingly exiled in Hong Kong. A new entry is added to the ongoing narrative every few days. You can read the entries online or download them in .mobi and .epub formats. Check it out.
