My first,
I found this book by accident one day while browsing in a gay bookstore in downtown Atlanta. From page one I loved it. H.F. is someone we all wish we could meet. Male or female. I totally fell in love with Beau (why can't I find a man like that?) and just her journey, not just physically, but emotionaly is enough to touch us all. A lot of people find it hard to go from the city to the country or ...

Not just for lesbians, though they'll love it too
I had some trepidation when we were assigned this book for an Appalachian literature class. Naiad does not, after all, publish things for me, but this book is a southern classic. Its gentle mocking tone limns the characters in a small Kentucky town with love and shows us that through community one can find acceptance. I went out and bought all of her books after this one and think they are ...

Coming of Age in a Complicated World
Never having read anything by Julia Watts, this reader wasn't sure what to expect from her newest book. I certainly enjoyed every word on every page, from the front cover to the back cover and would like to read the rest of her published novels soon. Watts tells the story of three young women, all named Elizabeth, during their third year in college. Each woman is taking `Women in Literature' ...

Bella Books, 2007

This is really a mixed review and should probably be a 3.5
I rate the novellas from 3 to 4.5 individually. Therese Szymanski doesn't come up to her usual standard; I found myself flipping pages and skimming--she gets a 3. Karin Kallmaker managed to break my heart with her story Cowboys and Kisses about a frontier whore. She gets a 4.5. Barbara Johnson's story of a couple of women in a tight spot entertains in spite of the fact that it almost had a ...

Another Good theme collection
It's surprising that Bella After Dark has come up with three successive good collections of themed novellas using only four authors. In each of the collections, I have had a favorite story. In the first one Karin Kallmaker's re-telling of the Little Mermaid was my favorite; she also topped the list in BELL BOOK AND DYKE. In this collection, Barbara Johnson out did herself. I was afraid that ...

Women. Period.

Spinsters Ink Books, 2008

The anticipation of getting it for the first time. The confusion when it first arrives. The embarrassment of starting it when you're wearing your new white pants. The relief at its arrival when you feared you might be pregnant. The disappointment at its arrival when you hoped you might be pregnant. Perhaps the most universal of female experiences, menstruation is a fact of life for women of all cultures, ethnicities, and sexual ...

Naiad Pr, 1999

The best book yet by this excellent author
I first discovered Julia Watts in an Appalachian literature class with Wildwood Flowers. We all liked it so well we went and bought them all! This one is the best one yet. It falls slightly in the Southern Gothic style as Lily, a lesbian children's book author is forced to marry and move to rural Georgia to save the child she had with her dead lover. As always with Watts the ...

Bell, Book and Dyke: New Exploits of Magical Lesbians

Bella Books, 2005

Entertaining and Erotic from Start to Finish
In the last year I've discovered the real "lesbian" in lesbian erotica - women having sex with women. Sometimes that can be hard to find in a tome with "lesbian erotica" or "lesbian sex" in the title. Not so the books from Bella Afterdark. I've read several of their anthologies, a novel and most recently this collection of novellas and have discovered enjoyable reads about the pleasures of women ...

The Kind of Girl I Am

Spinsters Ink Books, 2008

No apologies!
I'm rating this 5 starts because there aren't 6 to give. Julia Watts has an incredible talent for building full, large as live characters, and Vestal Jenkins is not an exception. The title of the book already suggests what you're going to find within, an unapologetic memoir of a woman who couldn't care less what others think of her, and who lives her live to pursue her goal with an intelligence ...

Once upon a Dyke: New Exploits of Fairy Tale Lesbians

Bella Books, 2004

Like Anais Nin, but all lesbian
Anais Nin is sometimes too poetic and well-written to be truly erotic. Her elevated language can be so cerebral that the nether regions disengage. I found that true in this anthology at times - but that doesn't mean that it, like Anais Nin, isn't worth exploring and savoring. There are four novellas in this anthology, each a very different take on some aspect of fairy tales. There's good ...

Jacobyte Books, 2001

I loved this book
Writing with grace and wit, Julia Watts tells the improbable though somehow totally believable story of a weeping Mary statue in the middle of the Kentucky Baptist Belt and the extraordinary results this miracle has on the lives of the book's three narrators. The book starts out strong and only gets better. The last section, written in the voice of a man dealing with being gay and Catholic in a ...

Phases of the Moon

Naiad Press, 1997

Another Appalachian classic
We take classes at college to have our eyes opened and Julia Watts made my Appalachian lit class worth its tuition. Phases of the Moon is her "serious piece of literature" I guess as it seems to have won awards and stuff. It certainly deserves them. Glenda Mooney is a 50s rockabilly artist and a lesbian working class woman. She is forced to cope with the tenuousness of stardom when she has ...

Kindred Spirits
Julia Watts

Beanpole Books, 2008

Miranda Jasper is different from the other kids in the small town of Wilder, Kentucky. Like all the women in her family, she has the Sight--the ability to see into other people's thoughts. Though her granny assures Miranda that the Sight is a gift, it often feels like a curse, especially when Miranda's middle-school classmates label her "the witch girl." At first Miranda has only one friend her age, Abigail, the ghost of a long-dead girl who ...

Naiad Press, 1998

We have all been there, haven't we?
This book was not only insightful about life after the "coming out," it was just plain *funny.* I chuckled and laughed all the way through. Even better, our earnest heroine is *young* and there are all too few novels about younger lesbians that don't wallow in self-imposed marginalization. Jess reminded me of myself in my early 20s. I didn't have a clue either, and just made it up as I went ...
