About the Author
Ms Langley resides in a small coastal town in southern Maine. She is a 50 + year old feminist and has been ina committed relationship with the same woman since 1974. Relocating from Boston Mass in 1976, she and her partner purchased a 1700’s antique farm house on three acres of beautiful, pastoral land. While writing and art make up a large part of the many facets of Langley’s background, her first love has been animals and she has worked in the pet care field most of her life. In 1979, realizing a need for a safe haven for abandoned and lost animals in the area, Langley and her partner co-founded and operated a regional animal rescue shelter on their property. Drawing from her unique experiences while working in her chosen field, as well as her own relationship with her partner and friends, Langley incorporated her love and interest in women’s issues into a beautifully written, easy to read, fictional novel. Mainely Lesbians reveals Langley’s sensitive nature to the down trodden and her intuitive ability to find the silver lining in most situations. Langley still resides in southern Maine with her partner and is currently working on her second novel in a series of books chronicling the everyday lives of lesbian women.
