Hi everyone! Hope this is okay to share here since the mods kindly said a resource post was fine.

I’m one of the people behind Saphly, a small platform we’re building for sapphic/girlxgirl stories. Me and the co-founder both came from Wattpad, and part of what pushed us to build this was wanting something better for sapphic stories and better representation in online reading spaces.

One thing that really matters to us is representation. On Saphly, readers can search using representation tags across things like gender and sexual identity, ethnic identity, disability and neurodiversity, body diversity, and relationship dynamics, because finding a story that reflects you, or teaches you something real about someone else, should not feel harder than it needs to be.

We’re still small and still building, but the goal is simple: help more sapphic stories get discovered, support the people writing them, and make the online reading space feel more welcoming and intentional.

If anyone wants to check it out, here it is: https://saphly.com

And genuinely, I’d love to hear what kinds of sapphic stories or search filters you’re always hoping to find more of 🥰🙏

The writing is really good but i honestly didn't have the heart to finish it cause the characters were SOOOO beautifully written and the relationship b/w Beowulf and Hygd is sooo intricately portrayed that you can actually feel the emotions that they are feeling thus making the ending even more sadder.

But, if you're looking for a good historical read with plenty of adventure and don't mind sad endings, then this is the perfect book for you.

Hey all! I haven’t seen it posted yet so I thought that I would share the author and narrator list that was released for Cass Con next year. Lots of big names!!! It’s happening from November 11th - 13th, 2027 in Philadelphia, PA.

TRIGGER WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMPLICATIONS OF S*XUAL A**AULT

Title- Renegade by Cheyne Curry

Basically, this vile man assaults Rachel and tries to steal her land but then the protagonist(Trace), who's a cop in modern world time travels to this time period(which is 1879), falls in love with Rachel, builds a life together with her and then takes revenge on that man.

Synopsis of the novel-

Dirty cop Trace Sheridan faces this dilemma as she moves from a present day mob war to a range war over a hundred years in the past, not remembering how she got there. The year is 1879, when cattle barons, crooked lawmen, saloons, painted ladies, cowboys and Indians ruled the Wild West, and laws were only as strong as the gunman who upheld them. In Sagebrush, the town and the sheriff belong to the Cranes, who take what they want or bad things happen. Trace finds this out firsthand when she ends up on the land of Rachel Young, a struggling ranch woman who won’t give in to the merciless cattle baron and his obsessed son. For some unexplainable reason, Rachel trusts the enigmatic Trace who uses 21st century sensibilities to battle 19th century turmoil, while Trace is forced to keep the secret of her origin from the attractive and vulnerable Rachel. Renegade is a story of redemption in its purest form as Trace discovers what truly matters in life and how past really is prologue.

It's the story of Trace, a corrupt police officer who gets involved with the mafia and to save herself time travels to the 1800s. Here she meets Rachel, who's being tormented by a gang of outlaws to make her sell her land. Trace instantly feels an attraction towards Rachel and then the story continues with Trace adjusting to the time period, redeeming herself, helping Rachel and finding love. And, it's a HEA!!!!!

Hey everyone! There was a mix-up/misunderstanding on my part when originally posting this the last time so I'm putting it up again in case anyone essentially wants a free copy of a sapphic crime thriller.

I released book 1 of my new lesbian detective series last month, which takes place in 2002 Van Nuys, California, and this month I'm happy to announce that book 2 is now open for ARC entries! It's called Heteronomy and it can be read and enjoyed even if you haven't read book 1 (called Underwater). However, there are references and character motivations that you will be easier to understand if you do read book 1. Basically, it's not required, but it is recommended. If you sign up to ARC read, please read the content warnings. The link to the google form and the booksirens page will be below.

Check out Book 1 Here if you're interested!

Here is the blurb and the cover (done by Studio Storam and Ian Mix).

>A young girl named Tess shows up to the police station and asks for Detective Gale Blue by name. She says her sister is being abused by her new boyfriend, but when Gale starts investigating the allegations, things spiral into something much bigger than the detective could have ever anticipated.

>A murder, a missing woman, and a human trafficking operation are all pieces to a much bigger puzzle, and Gale doesn't have much time to put it all together.

>As she struggles against night terrors and paranoia caused by her last case, Detective Blue must work together with her partner and a DA prosecutor before an innocent woman turns up dead.

Title- Snow White and Her Queen

And, this is what the Evil Queen has to say when it comes to Snow White-

"The Princess is a thousand times fairer than me,” she concludes in an inexplainable fever of despair that shocks her servants as much as it does herself.

Hi everyone!

I keep lurking around here, so I thought I'd make a post and let you all know about the book I just released on Monday. 🫶

I'm so obsessed with the two MCs, and the direction it took pretty much from the start, so I have to get over my chaos/anxiety, and share about it!

🗝️ darkish sapphic romance

🗝️ golden retriever x black cat

🗝️ BDSM/kink

🗝️ hurt/comfort

🗝️ trauma rep

From Emily Alter comes a sapphic high angst romance between two victims who refuse to play the game society expects, no matter the cost.

I was broken. She wasn’t.

I didn’t understand how she did it, or how I actually felt about it.

It didn’t matter.

At the end of the day, I knew we were on borrowed time.

There was no leaving, no happy ending.

Until the day came.

A different fight.

A different set of oppressors and barriers to the future I, maybe, for the first time in decades, dared to dream about.

But she needed to be here for it.

I needed to get her here.

To make up for all the years of pretending she wasn’t my reason to stay alive.

READ NOW (AVAILABLE WITH KU): https://mybook.to/coralhunter

Note: while at its core, Risk Aware stays true to Emily’s brand (kink, queerness, community), it touches on heavier topics than their backlist. Please check out the content warnings and preface at the beginning of the book. There are way too many bad actors and the characters face too much trauma that might be difficult to read about. This isn’t a book where two women find they have compatible kinks and chemistry and “simply” explore that, even if they eventually do that, too.
