Literate, steamy erotica told in true Jewish tradition with humor, heart, and chutzpah.

"Like most Jewish dykes, I was raised to become a nice Jewish girl who would grow up to marry a nice Jewish boy—preferably a doctor," writes Karen X. Tulchinsky in the introduction to Friday the Rabbi Wore Lace. "Imagine my parents' surprise when I came out as a lesbian and they watched helplessly, as year after year I became more and more butch…I didn’t marry a nice Jewish boy, but I look like one."

KAREN X. TULCHINSKY is a nice Jewish Lesbian who lives and writes in Vancouver, Canada. She is the award-winning author of Love Ruins Everything, a novel, and In Her Nature, a collection of short stories. She writes for many magazines, including Curve, Girlfriends, and Lambda Book Report.
