About Me

Don't be scared . . .
Aren't you tired of those pasty lesbian novels with closeted corporate characters and some dude in the middle?
Isn't it about time that you read a REAL lesbian novel that you can relate to?
Never before has there been a novel for and about Black lesbians. . .until now!
Lion-Hearted Press Presents
Dykin'
The First and Only REAL Black Lesbian Novel
by Neledi Tafari
Fear is a powerful emotion. Just say the word "dyke" and watch how many noses turn up! In her debut novel Dykin', author Neledi Tafari has defined the term that lesbians love to hate. This urban tale that will give you a taste of what being in "The Life" is truly all about.
“I put that sweet potion called passion in everything that I do. . . . “When you love everything that you do it’s contagious.”
- Jules aka The Dapper Dom - from Dykin' the novel
Dykin'-
adj: A derogatory term that describes or implies lesbian relations

Neo Jackson grew tired of the nightclub business. She wanted to pass the business on to her play son Jules, but Jules was too busy chasing females. Neo's worries escalated after her ex-lover's daughters, the Twins, were implicated in an incident that occured at the club.

Overwhelmed with watching over Jules and the the Twins, managing the club, and keeping her enemies at a distance, Neo looked to a group of lesbians for support. The group of women resolved to start an organization with special interest in youth development.

Follow the progress of the Twins in their quest for self-identity as they face the challenges of being teenagers in the life. Along the way, follow the adventures of a colorful cast of characters on a wild ride through Black lesbian culture in late-nineties Washington, DC.
