Lesbian Funk: A Journey Into the Oblivion is the third book in the Orchids series. New lesbian erotica from the author known as The Lesbian Goddess (aka Kimberly Q) is always a treat. While Orchids 1 & 2 are collections of short stories, Lesbian Funk follows the adventures of Kaili Michelle Blithesome.

After watching her parents’ marriage crumble and her own attempt at matrimony turn into a disaster, Kaili believes she is finally ready to move on. She has a new job, is moving to a new city, and has one last appointment with her therapist. Just as it seems Kaili has taken control of her life, the foundation she has worked so hard to build gives way. A voice from the past literally reappears:

I knew it was that voice that I’d tucked away. That secret voice that was mine and mine alone. She wasn’t someone or something I ever mentioned in our sessions because it was only one time. I had brushed that episode off as a night of drunken fun.

Guided by–and at times frightened of–this new presence, Kaili’s journey of self-discovery is just beginning. Desires that she has fought to suppress resurface and she finds herself spinning out of control.

You can’t have a sexual awakening without sex and Lesbian Funk is filled with a variety of vivid, highly imaginative sexual encounters. Keep in mind that this is a somewhat reluctant journey. In many scenes, Kaili gives dominion of her body to others–or do they seize it–resulting in scenarios that are both highly charged and unsettling.

Mirroring the first 2 entries in the series, Lesbian Funk is split into seven episodes–each launched by a sensual poem sure to inflame your passions. However, the dialogue is not split into alternating paragraphs. When Kaili is talking to someone else, it can be difficult to keep up with who is speaking to whom.

If you relish the fantasy of being taken, of being the object of affection of a sexual force that will not and can not be denied, Lesbian Funk: A Journey Into the Oblivion is the book for you.

April 15th was the last full update of Kuma2.net. The decision to stop working on Kuma was hard. It’s been a great 10 year run–from an idea sketched in traffic to a monthly (and then quarterly) ezine–but we feel it’s time to explore other projects/ideas.

You should know what’s going to happen to the website…

• We are not taking Kuma2.net down – we just will not be adding more stories/poetry/etc to it. All the pieces that you love in the archive will still be here. All of the information in the other sections–relationships, spirituality, domestic violence–that’s not going anywhere.
• We will, however, occasionally post new content here in the blog. (Adding media reviews, lgbt events, announcements, calls for submissions, etc.)
• Any post that appears here on the blog, will also be posted to the Kuma2.net facebook page.

In place of the July 15th update, we are compiling a list of sites and podcasts that we suggest Kuma readers should visit. If you have or know of a good website, podcast, Youtube channel, whatever that you’d like to suggest, please leave a note in our comments section.

Thank you for a wonderful decade of writing and sharing your words with us.

Puff & Sip are a black lesbian couple who–lucky for us–started podcasting. Their show includes a little bit of everything: comedy, commentary, confessions, etc.
