This week’s F/F Fiction Crossword Puzzle covers WLW & lesbian contemporary romance novels, which means modern romances that more or less take place during the time frame the book was written and published.
Other definitions include romances that are set within the past 25 years.
To celebrate the publication of my latest romance, Wrong Number, Right Woman earlier this month, I thought I’d put together a crossword puzzle with clues from the book. Even if you haven’t read it yet, I think you have a chance to solve the puzzle because the answers to the first five clues are hidden in the first four chapters of the book, which you can read for free on Amazon and other online bookstores. To find the answers to clues number 6 and 7, read the excerpt, then take a look at my other contemporary romances. The prize: …
I realized there aren’t that many WLW & lesbian romance novels around in which the characters meet online—maybe via a dating app—or start communicating via emails, texts, or phone calls and meet face-to-face only a little later in the book. Which is a little strange, since so many of us find love—or great friends—online, right? So I thought I’d put together a list of 12 f/f romances that start out on the Internet or via the phone. Make sure you scroll all the way down for a free bonus story. Wrong Number, Right Woman by Jae Flirting has …

This week’s F/F Fiction Crossword Puzzle features WLW & lesbian books that feature cats, dogs, horses, and other animals. Most books include dogs, cats, or horses, but there’s also a domestic pig in one of the books. Speaking of books featuring pets… My new romance Wrong Number, Right Woman features a shy butch, her young niece & her budgie, as well as the supposedly straight woman who sends her an accidental text.

This week’s F/F Fiction Crossword Puzzle features WLW & lesbian books with characters who are lawyers, attorneys, or otherwise work in a legal profession. Lawyer heroines are very popular with a lot of readers. Maybe it’s the power suits or their tough-as-nails attitude?

If you haven’t solved all the previous puzzles yet, you can still do so! For every solution you send in, you get an entry into the drawing for the grand …
It’s time for the next Pride edition crossword puzzle! This week’s puzzle features f/f books with characters on the asexual spectrum—some are asexual, some are demisexual, and others might be somewhere along the ace spectrum. It wasn’t easy to find 15 f/f books featuring ace spectrum characters because there still aren’t many of them, especially not books about asexual women. Asexuality is still an “invisible” and not very well-known sexual orientation, so before you tackle the crossword puzzle, let me talk for a minute about what “asexual” and “demisexual” and “ace spectrum” mean. Keep in mind that everyone has a …
This week’s F/F Fiction Crossword Puzzle features so-called “toaster oven” romance novels—books about women who go through a process of self-discovery during the course of the book and figure out that they are not as straight as they previously assumed. Most of them find themselves attracted and fall in love with another woman for the very first time. The “toaster oven” is an old joke within the LGBT+ community. To my knowledge, it originated when Ellen DeGeneres’s character on the 1990s sitcom Ellen came out as gay in the infamous “Puppy Episode” and her love interest was presented with …
I’m very excited to share the first post of the long-awaited F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge with you. For our first crossword puzzle, I picked WLW & lesbian books with ice queen characters because that kind of heroine is quite popular with readers. If you are unfamiliar with the term, an ice queen is a character who starts out as cold and prickly but usually thaws during the course of the book, often because they’re falling in love with the other main character. If you missed yesterday’s post explaining the rules of the F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge, read up on it …
Welcome to the F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge! After the success of Lesbian Book Bingo in 2018, I wanted to put together another fun reading challenge for readers of f/f fiction in 2020, but this time, I wanted to do something new—and name it in a way that is more inclusive of all kinds of books about women-loving women (WLW). After a lot of brainstorming with some avid readers, I came up with the idea for an F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge. What is the F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge? The F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge is a year-long event for readers of …
