Hi, my name is Jane Retzig and I really hope you enjoy my books.I've been a huge fan of lesbian fiction ever since I discovered that I loved women, and in the 1980's and 90's I could regularly be found in 'Silver Moon' and 'Gay's the Word' Bookshops in London, happily working my way through the entire catalogue of Naiad books imported from the USA.My first novel 'Boundaries' was published in paperback in 1994 by 'The Dimsdale Press', a tiny and slightly quirky Lesbian Small Press who also published novels by popular lesbian fiction authors Jane Fletcher and Christina Smythe. Everything at 'Dimsdale' was done on a shoe-string and they frequently roped us into carrying heavy box-loads of books around London on public transport to cut down on distribution costs.'Boundaries' was well received in the UK. I was delighted to see it reach the 'Lesbian Fiction Bestsellers' lists in independent bookstores across the country. My second book, 'The Legacy' was published as a short novel in 1995 and also sold well. Sadly, changes in the economy and book market in the UK meant that many of our much-loved independent bookstores closed in the late 90's, so 'Dimsdale' lost most of their major outlets and reluctantly decided to cease trading, leaving me without a publisher.Life intervened for me at that point too and I took a fairly prolonged break from writing. Then the e-book revolution tempted me out of retirement. I re-issued 'Boundaries' on Kindle in April 2013 and 'The Photograph' (October 2013) was my first book to be published initially through Kindle Direct Publishing. Both books are also now available in print for people who still prefer to read their books the traditional way.I've just completed a major re-write of the story behind 'The Legacy'. I always loved the characters in the book and never quite thought that the shorter format did them justice. 'The Full Legacy' is the result - just issued on Kindle and available in print very shortly. I hope people will enjoy the new fuller version. I certainly enjoyed writing it!I've often wondered how my books would be received by an American audience, particularly as I've always been so inspired in my writing by lesbian fiction from the United States. One of the great things about Amazon is being able to get readers' reactions direct and I've been extremely moved by the reviews I've received, and by people taking the time to do them. I really do value your feedback. Thank you SO much! And for nowAll the very best - And Happy Reading!Jane (janeretzig@gmail.com)

I'm so very surprised by how much I liked this book. It was nothing like what I expected. I was on a mission to find a book that sounded interesting enough to try by an author I'd not heard of before that's part of the Kindle Unlimited program and picked this one. Yay me for choosing this one!If you...
