One of the first novels ever to depict lesbians in a positive light.
Born in New Jersey in 1931, Jane Rule graduated from Mills College in California in 1952. She moved to Canada in 1956, where she intermittently taught at the University of British Columbia until 1976 when she moved to Galiano Island, where she continues to live today. Her novel Desert of the Heart was made into the film Desert Hearts starring Helen Shaver. Katherine V. Forrest is twice winner of the Lambda Literary Award for best mystery, and has been recently honored with the Pioneer Award from the Lambda Literary Foundation. She has been profiled in virtually every major lesbian and gay publication in America, as well as in numerous magazines and newspapers abroad. Katherine lives in San Francisco.
