NIGHT SEX SHOW REVIEW: "In my collection of books, there are very few for lesbians so this is a welcome addition: "HOW TO BE A HAPPY LESBIAN - A COMING OUT GUIDE." Some of the chapters include 'How do I know if I'm gay?' and 'How do I recognize if someone is lesbian?' There is information on lesbian lovemaking and safer sex, and the tone is gentle and humorous. For all those women who have ever wondered, I highly recommend this book."

Thank you both for your generosity in sharing with those of us who are looking for honest, helpful, supportive information. Please don't ever think it's not doing any good. Although I don't write very often, I no longer feel alone, and I am at peace with myself." Maggie B. Member of the SFLCO Online Support Group for Lesbians, Bisexual and Questioning Women |

REVIEW "Like Lesbianism for Dummies! This is a book I wish I'd had many years ago; my transition into being "out" would have been much easier, less confusing. I would have spent less time feeling as though I was fumbling around in the dark. So many things I needed to know, and many things that it never occurred to me to ask (but I TRULY needed to know), are included in this book. It is so easy to read, fun actually. The tone is kind, as though you were in the room with dear friends, or the big sister we all dream of having! Please know that this book is NOT just for young women. I spent 20 years being a wife, trying to be who I had been told I was, so it was in middle age that I decided to live an authentic life and this book made that transition less painful, more joyful. Thank you Tracey and Katherine!" Kali B ., Asheville, NC | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

REVIEW "A must have book for women loving women! The coming out process can be pretty scary and intimidating. When I was in search for information about being a lesbian I found this wonderful book rightly named "A coming out guide" to become a happy lesbian. Its title announces the world that is waiting for us inside the book and out: a path of hope, pride and acceptance. The authors take your hand and show you how being a lesbian is no shame or wrong. On the contrary, with a gentle tone and openly discussing the most pressing questions for any woman coming out, they rescued me from what I thought it was a deep obscure hole. I am very grateful to the authors for sharing their experience and helping me being a happy loving lesbian. I recommend the book not only to coming out women but to their families and friends. It is full of advice, tips and information. It even includes movie reviews. This is a must have book for women loving women--Excellent!" M. C. Trujillom, Maryland | READER
REVIEW "How to Be a Happy Lesbian: A Coming Out Guide" answered a lot of questions for me about coming out and living as a lesbian. The guide provided me with practical information on subjects that I was clueless about, such as gay/lesbian culture, how to tell if someone is a lesbian, and how to make love to a woman. For me, the most valuable part of the guide was the chapter on safer sex, which presents lifesaving directions. The guide is a useful resource written with humor and love that I expect to return to again and again." Carri W., Atlanta, GA | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

REVIEW "When I was finally ready to come out as a lesbian woman, I scoured the Internet for resources to assist me with this difficult step. I couldn't believe my good fortune when I discovered "How To Be A Happy Lesbian: A Coming Out Guide." There, in one book, was everything I needed - from information on coming out to family, friends and coworkers to symbols, role models, politics and living as a lesbian in the world today. There are also additional resources cited: books, organizations, and support groups to aid in the transition for you and your family, or for issues like abuse and hate crimes. The chapters on communication, practicing safer sex, and therapy would be helpful to any person or couple. The sex tips guide was informative and enlightening without being crude or vulgar. For me, preparation is the key; reading through "How To Be A Happy Lesbian: A Coming Out Guide" helped me face and conquer the fear of rejection and loss that had troubled me for so many years. I was empowered with a newfound confidence and understanding of what it means to be a lesbian and that it was not something to be ashamed of, but to rejoice in. My coming out became a joyful experience for me thanks to my wonderful friends and family and my new friends at Amazing Dreams Publishing!" C. Smarba | READER
REVIEW Bravo to authors Tracey Stevens and Kathy Wunder. How To Be A Happy Lesbian: A Coming Out Guide is truly a worthwhile read for women of any age who are questioning or coming to terms with being lesbian or bisexual. Every aspect of life is covered; everything from how to know whether or not one is lesbian or BI, sex, safe sex, how to handle discrimination, how to choose a therapist if needed, dealing with issues of abuse, just living daily life, and much, much more. The chapter on communication was outstanding. This book is written with warmth, honesty and humor. I don't think any woman could read "How To Be A Happy Lesbian: A Coming Out Guide" and not feel a greater sense of respect and pride for herself. The subjects covered and the information are good not only for those just coming out but for those who have been out for a while. And also helpful for friends and family that are caring and wanting to know what their loved one is facing and going through. Kudos to Stevens and Wunder for work well done.

MAGAZINE REVIEW FOLLOWING YOUR OWN PATH "This is much more than a book offering encouragement, or advice or the sharing of the authors' own personal experiences, it is a book that offers practical “hands on, and how to” instructions for loving a woman properly. That includes respectfully loving ourselves as women, while we safely make love to each other. The chapter “Plain Talk About Safer Sex” was eye opening, and while the writing style is humorous, hopefully everyone reading this excellent book will take the need to practice “safer sex” to heart while taking the object of their desires to bed. While sex is important to all of us, other sections give invaluable information on a myriad of subjects, such as knowing what your civil rights as a lesbian or bisexual woman are, as well as a wonderful chapter of recommended movies along with their reviews. This book is a must for those recently ‘out,' as well as those who have been ‘out and about' forever. It is funny, insightful and simply put, filled with all sorts of useful information that we can all benefit from--not to mention what a great gift it will be to that special young woman who is just coming out." Diane Wilde Cover to Cover Review | WISHING
WELL MAGAZINE REVIEW FOUR OUT OF FOUR BOOKENDS Four bookends is a must read book, featuring positive lesbian imaging--a keeper "If you know a young gal who has decided to follow in Sappho's footsteps, hand her this book. It is an excellent resource and is sure to answer any question a newly realized lesbian might have. Written in a systematic, this-is-the-way-I-do-it format, this humorous 'encyclopedia' of lesbian lore is just a good read even for those in long-term relationships. Discussing topics such as gay symbols, gay rights, STDs, famous and not-so-famous lesbians, and movies that shouldn't be missed, this guide will help young women feel good about themselves and proud of who they are. It provides a solid framework on which to build self-esteem." Valarie Massie Watersun Book Review | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

REVIEW "Empowering and inspiring are the two words, which sums up this wonderfully written title. This is not just the same old "how to" book. It comes with encouraging and insightful words from women who have truly experienced this in their own lives. Through the use of humor and frank communication, it gives power and inspiration for anyone in any stage of dealing with their sexuality. This book further gives a since of camaraderie, allowing you to know that you are not alone." Member of the SFLCO Online Support Group for Lesbians, Bisexual and Questioning Women | READER
REVIEW "This coming out guide is obviously written from the heart. The tone is gentle and supportive, a big sister encouraging other lesbians to love and accept themselves and live a full life, free of fear and shame. This is a much-needed book, one Stevens wishes had been available when she was younger and needed advice on how to "make it" in a predominantly homophobic world. It's not preachy, clinical, or cynical. It's readable, humorous, and, most important, kind. Plus, it's chock full of useful information and resources. Hooray for this courageous woman!"

PRESS REVIEW "This could be called The Lesbian Encyclopedia! It covers everything from love to liberty, sex to sanity. The authors, Southern women, do it in a humorous, commonsense, let's get-down-to-the-grits kind of way. Patricia Nell Warren, Award Wining Author of "The Front Runner," "The Beauty Queen," "One Is The Sun," "The Fancy Dancer" and many other novels for the gay and lesbian community. | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

REVIEW "WOW, what a powerful book you all have written! I wish I would have known about it when I was first discovering what was happening with me. I also want to say thank you and tell you that I think it is wonderful and yet very amazing to me that you are so profoundly open in this book. I'm so glad that you are. It is so down to earth and real. What I've read so far, OK so it's mostly Chapter 5, Romance and the Art of Making Lesbian Love, and in reading what I have so far, your openness and candor gave me a feeling of freedom. I'm not sure just what that means to me yet, but it is a feeling I am very aware of and wanted to share that with you both.".

MAGAZINE REVIEW LESBIAN LESSONS "Partners in life and professionally, Tracey Stevens and Katherine Wunder have written the sensible, informed How to Be a Happy Lesbian: A Coming Out Guide. In this volume, the authors cover a considerable amount of material on coming out, relationships, safer sex, and more. The chapter "Romance and the art of making lesbian love" offers step-by-step advice that is clearly written and good-natured (look for the "wild, coconut-humpin' monkey" reference)-like the rest of this book. Additional chapters list great role models and resources for lesbians. A particularly great book for young or emerging lesbians, How to Be . . . would make a great addition to the shelves of even worldly women." Tim Brookover Outsmart Magazine | READER
REVIEW "The safer sex tips made a big impression on me. While I know that any kind of sexual activity can lead to STD transmission, I didn't really associate it with women. Can't quite pinpoint what it was that impressed the safer sex info on my brain - the tone, humor, or the lack of preachiness - but I realized one day that while I was fixing a cup of coffee, I'd been mentally going over the Guide's suggested To Do List before considering intimacy. It was a trip actually - adding milk to my coffee while my brain was busily calculating the last time I'd been with anyone, the date of my last complete physical including complete blood screening, and the location of nearest medical supply store figuring I could pick up the stuff in the Guide. Long and short of it: My Coming Out Guide gets referenced a lot!"

REVIEW "I have a female friend who was coming out of the closet, and I bought her this package as a supportive gift. She said there was so much information in it, it is like a lesbian encyclopedia, and that it is really entertaining to read! She learned all kinds of things about gay symbols and what they mean, and how to handle coming out to friends and family. She said there is a chapter on famous lesbian and gay people throughout history that she never knew about. My friend joined the online support group for women coming out, and she said she no longer feels alone in the world. I am so glad I got this for her! I've never seen her this happy."

| "I
just joined the group last week and wanted to let you all know that
I'm in awe of the caring responses, creativity, and courage of the woman in this
group. I have been feeling very isolated, not really knowing any other lesbians
where I live, and it's been incredible to sit down and read these emails. I'm
lucky to live in an area where there is an active and relatively accepted gay
and lesbian community, but I'm not a naturally outgoing person and I guess I'm
having trouble taking the first step to meet other women. I would really appreciate
if anyone wanted to share stories about how they have met other lesbians in their
areas. I'm not looking for a relationship yet (although I guess I wouldn't mind
if it happened) but would love to find a few lesbian friends. Thanks for your
help and support!" Heather Member of the SFLCO Online Support Group for Lesbians, Bisexual and Questioning Women | "As
a lesbian living in utter isolation, I found myself in a severe depression. By
luck I found the Support for Lesbians Coming Out group and it absolute lived up
to its name. I was not seeking a dating site. I was searching for a reason to
live but did not understand myself in anyway. Once I became involved in the group,
I not only found a home but a family. A family of ladies who support, care and
understand issues that are related to ones self acceptance of being a lesbian
and coming out as well. Little by little I was able to reach out to my own friends
and gain acceptance. I found the courage to accept therapy and now am a very happy
lesbian who is embracing life!!! Thanks Tracey for offering me a home!" Nancy Member of the SFLCO Online Support Group for Lesbians, Bisexual and Questioning Women | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "When
I found the SFLCO Support Group, I was at a crisis point. Mentally and physically
I was a wreck. I was literally on the verge of a nervous break down and was suicidal.
This group has in a very real sense saved my life. I now have a safe place to
share my joys and my struggles. I have peace and hope back in my heart. My sense
of self-esteem has returned along with my mental and physical health. Thank you
for being there for me." Pam Member of the SFLCO Online Support Group for Lesbians, Bisexual and Questioning Women | "First
and foremost, I want to thank you so much for the time and effort you put into
this support group. When my whole world seems to be upside down, I know you, and
all the other members, are here for me to turn to. It means so much to have others
to cushion the almost daily falls that my heart seems to be taking right now during
this stuff. O.K. Breathe. It will all be O.K. Thanks, Tracey, so much for this
arena of strong women, like yourself, to turn to." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| "When
I finally realized I was a lesbian, I felt totally lost and alone and terrified
until I found the "How To be a Happy Lesbian" book and the support group.
The guide is wonderful, and the support group is alive, evolving and reactive,
proactive...a true friendship in a sense; a shelter for a first out lesbian, a
hand, a hug, a warming welcome, you-belong-kind of space. I feel at home with
the members of the group, and very grateful to the author of the book, Tracey,
who is a protective moderator. I feel safe because she keeps this space safe.
I also identify with so many of the members that I feel among friends all the
time. One thing I notice in this group is that even when members don't post they
do read--like me Even when there are many messages, I read and I look forward
to the posts and the answers. The group has become a ritual, a reality check-in
cyberspace, and my connection to my true self." Sol Member of the SFLCO Online Support Group for Lesbians, Bisexual and Questioning Women | "It
is really difficult to put into words just how much the Support For Lesbians Coming
Out Group means to me. The amazing ladies in this group walk alongside me in my
journey to be a fully self expressed woman, accepting all aspects of my sexuality.
I am also blessed to be able to have the opportunity to contribute to the lives
of woman that I may never meet in person but that hold a very special place in
my heart. I live in a small town in New Zealand where there is no support for
woman coming out and it is 5 hours to the closest big city. By being a part of
the SFLCO group I know that there is always someone at the end of the keyboard
through the ups and the downs. I have learnt so much from the sharing of others
and know this is a safe place to ask what feels like even the silliest question.
To all the woman in this group, thank you for allowing me to be connected to this
chain of friendship and growth. Being part of this group has meant so much to
me over the past year and it has been an honor to be a part of it and what it
group and the members blossom. I don't think I could ever put into words what
it has meant to be part of this group. To find a community of woman who offer
love, acceptance and support unconditionally has been the light at the end of
the tunnel." Rainbow Angel Member of the SFLCO Online Support Group for Lesbians, Bisexual and Questioning Women | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
