Synopsis

Twenty-nine stories from writers both new and established, edited by the bestselling author of Room!  

Love Alters is an exciting anthology featuring both internationally renowned authors as well as newer authors from all across the English-speaking world. Countries represented here include England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, South Africa, America, Canada, Jamaica, Trinidad, Australia, and New Zealand.  Compiled not because the authors identify as lesbian (or agree with labels at all) each of these stories deals with themes of love, lust, loss, or a combination of the three, by women writers of all persuasions. The result is a wild, exciting, and fresh anthology that was honored as a Lambda Literary Award finalist upon first publication in 1999.

With its focus on new writing as well as established writers the authors featured here include:   Dorothy Allison, Patricia Dunker, Tanith Lee, Jennifer Levin, Anna Livia, Ingrid Macdonald, Sara Maitland, Shani Mootoo, Ali Smith, Elizabeth Taylor, Shay Youngblood, and many others.
