After taking a hiatus from lesbian light fiction to research and write two large historical novels and several screenplays, Jennifer Fulton has returned to her favorite form of escapism—penning lesbian bodice-rippers. Writing romances as Jennifer Fulton and mysteries as Rose Beecham, Fulton published seven novels with the Naiad Press during the 1990s, quickly becoming one of their top-selling authors.

Over the next twelve months, Fulton will publish four new romances: The Sacred Shore, A Guarded Heart, Dark Dreamer and Solace. Fans of her mysteries can also look forward to a new detective series, commencing in 2006 with Grave Silence. Fulton is also at work on an historical saga, Midnight and the Angel, which follows the stories of several lesbian characters across generations of the same family.

"The name Jennifer Fulton on any novel is an ironclad guarantee of a great read.  She is one of our most entertaining and richly rewarding writers."
—Katherine V. Forrest, author of Curious Wine and the Kate Delafield series

Fulton blends the romance, the lust, the adventure and the intrigue with questions of self-image, self-esteem and self-worth, resulting in an enjoyable story with more than enough depth to make it worth reading."
—Lambda Book Report

Fans of Passion Bay and Saving Grace will be thrilled to know there are a couple sequels coming in 2005: The Sacred Shore, Book III in the Moon Island series, as well as Book IV, The Guarded Heart. In these long-awaited sequels, Fulton brings together an ensemble cast in a story that combines themes of love and loss, renewal and spirituality.

The Sacred Shore Quick Synopsis: Successful tech industry survivor, Merris Randall does not believe in love at first sight until she meets Olivia Hunt. But Olivia is deeply scarred from a damaging relationship, and has no plans to love again. Thrown together in a sensuous paradise thousands of miles from home, each finds what she least expects. Anthropologist Dr. Glenn Howick is also on Moon Island, chasing the career-making discovery of a lifetime. But Glenn must decide whether she can exploit the spirituality of another culture for her own ends. Another moral dilemma looms in the form of Riley Mason, a post-grad student whose love threatens both Glenn's reputation and her most secret self. Life seems complete for the island's owners, Cody and Annabel, whose love story was told in Passion Bay. But Annabel has recently woken up to the sound of her biological clock ticking. With preparations underway for the secret rituals local women perform to celebrate the goddess of the island, the topic is consigned to the back burner. Then Annabel's cousin Melanie shows up with a young baby and a desperate problem.

The mother of one daughter, she lives in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains with her partner and animal companions, penning lesbian bodice-rippers, historical fiction, and screenplays. Although writing is her vice of choice, Jennifer finds time for her favorite hobbies: fly fishing, travel, fine cooking, and reading. You can visit her Web site at http://www.jenniferfulton.com.
