From the Publisher Following the recent death of writer/publisher Anyda Marchant (pen name, Sarah Aldridge), at age 95, A&M Books of Rehoboth Beach is making available all 14 of the classic and groundbreaking Sarah Aldridge novels. Written between 1974 and 2003, the novels represent a melding of history, feminism and lesbian romance. The first novel was published by the fledgling Naiad Press, which went on to become the largest and most successful lesbian/feminist publisher in the country. Marchant was Naiad president from its founding until 1995.

A&M Books, continuing under the leadership of writer Fay Jacobs is set to carry out the legacy begun by Marchant and Crawford making all of the Sarah Aldridge titles available once again and continuing to give women writers a voice.
