Looking for a signed copy of THE NEW LE***AN PULP, edited by Sarah Fonseca and Octavia Saenz? We’ve partnered with our friends at The Ripped Bodice on a very special pre-order campaign. Place your order before August 1 to receive a signed copy. Visit our bio link for the details.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Le***an pulp fiction thrived in the oppressive 1950s, telling subversive stories of lonely sapphic women who find connection, passion, and revenge. In THE NEW LE***AN PULP, editors Sarah Fonseca and Octavia Saenz revive the genre for today, layering nuance into classic tropes while dialing up the melodrama, romantic peril, and collateral damage.

ABOUT THE RIPPED BODICE: is an independent brick-and-mortar bookstore with locations in Brooklyn, NY and Culver City, CA, devoted to the celebration of romance novels. Proudly woman and q***r owned!
