The Downpour Anthology from Supposed Crimes started as a "butch women and thunderstorms" challenge. A throwback to classic lesbian erotica. The resulting stories are a mix of sexy, sweet, and downright dangerous. Women of all types tackle the storms of nature, magic, or mystery. Victorian times through the future of outer space. The classic pretty girl stranded by the side of the road in the rain, along with a pickup or two, ghosts, and, well, we won't spoil all the surprises.
Prolific authors like Geonn Cannon and Helena Maeve write alongside newcomers like Alexa Black and Luda Jones. Supposed Crimes favorites A. M. Leibowitz and Adrian J. Smith have stories. Dylan McEwan and C. E. Case are trying something new. Downpour offers eight stories featuring our favorite kinds of women: women.

Autorentext
Supposed Crimes, LLC publishes fiction and poetry primarily featuring lesbian characters and themes. The focus is on genre fiction?Westerns, Science Fiction, Horror, Action?rather than just romance. That's how we set ourselves apart from our competitors. Our characters happen to love women and kick ass.
"Supposed crimes" refers to the idea that homosexuality was once outlawed. Thus, our authors are being subversive by writing. As times change this becomes more tongue-in-cheek. Yet, Christians writing lesbians and men writing lesbians are still subversive ideas in this industry. We encourage our authors to challenge stereotypes.
