I'd highly recommend any of the books by either Nicola Griffith or Kelley Eskridge. Both are wonderful.

I really enjoyed Meghan Brunner's Faire-Folk books, From the Ashes and Into the Storm.  She has great character development, interesting ideas and a sweet love story.  Hmmmm...might have to re-read these,  as I hear she is working on the 3rd book in the trilogy.

Can anybody recommend a book that is in first-person? I don't really care for reading books in third-person... I'm really picky about books. XD

Not a lot yet, but my most recent reads are there, incl. LBGT stuff.

Haha, the DOOM II books are in first person xD (duurr, not surprising) and so is Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein which the Doom II series was emulating.

I am also a big science firction/ fantasy, i guess horror is in there somewhere too fan. I would recommend David Weber's Honor Harrington series, no LGBT  content but centers on a very strong female character(s). check out www.baen.com. I would also recommend the anita blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. The early books are very character driven although the hetero- porn on paper gets a little boring in the later books. Also a strong female character. I am also partial to books by Elizabeth moon.  At Baen they have a free library of some of the first book of large series, they get you hooked and then you want more. I would recommend most of the stuff they publish because its good quality sci fi. Anything by John Ringo I am also a fan of.  Space opera is a lot of what I read.

cheers.

Many currently published Lesbian Authors got their start in Xena fanfic, including some mentioned in this post.  A few of their printed works are also available free online.....will link a few now.

Blayne Cooper
http://www.academyofbards.org/authors/advocate.html
At least 5 of these stories are available in book form as well at amazon.com

Kim Baldwin
http://www.academyofbards.org/authors/kim_baldwin.html
Most of the stories on that site are her early works, but a couple are also available on Amazon along with many not available on the web

Missy Good
http://www.academyofbards.org/authors/missy_good.html
Only her short stories remain free on the web but she has 8 titles available at Amazon

Gerri Hill
http://www.academyofbards.org/authors/gerri_hill.html
Mentioned earlier in this thread, check out her early works here

KG MacGregor
http://www.academyofbards.org/authors/kg_macgregor.html
Has many unedited versions of her published works free online and 10 titles on Amazon.

SX Meagher
http://www.academyofbards.org/authors/sx_meagher.html
Has many unedited versions of her published work free online and 5 or so titles at Amazon along with more at http://www.susanxmeagher.com/books.htm

Kim Pritekel
http://www.academyofbards.org/authors/kim_pritekel.html
Has many works available for free on line, 4 titles on Amazon

Radclyffe
http://www.academyofbards.org/authors/radclyffe.html
Some early works available online for free.  Well over 30 titles available at Amazon

There are other published authors that got their start in Xena fanfic, and you can find them all here
http://www.academyofbards.org/
Many of the works archived here are not Xena facis but original or Uber (the characters tend to look like X&G, but aren't them) works.

There is also some decent lesbian fanfiction about Buffy The Vampire Slayer.  These can be found at the site below.
http://www.mysticmuse.net/

As with a lot of fanfic out there....some is good, some isn't, but you can usually figure it out pretty quick, so poke around and see if you like anything.
