Here are some of the publishing cousins and ancestresses (some kissin’ and some distant) of the Sun Daughter Press:
Artemis: For Women who Prefer Women
In the 1980s and ’90s, Artemis magazine in Great Britain published several experimental works of Intemorphiction, as well as the intemporphic Poppitops cartoon strip. Most of the shorter stories that now make up Enter Amelia Bingham by Miss Geneviève Falconer also first appeared in Artemis.
The Artemis group was in negotiations with the coincidentally-named Miss Artemis OakGrove (authoress of The Raging Peace, who was at that time involved in setting up a publishing house in the States) to publish Enter Amelia Bingham. It was at this time that the various episodes published in Artemis were expanded to a full novel. Miss OakGrove said “I would kill to publish Amelia Bingham”. However, owing to financial difficulties, the publishing venture did not materialize at that time.
Artemis magazine also began serializing what may be the first fully intemorphic story ever published, Strangers in Paradise.
The Imperial Press
In 1994 published the first fully intemorphic book, The District Governess by Miss Regina Snow, under its Wildfire Club imprint. Much of the other Wildfire club material was purely commercial and rather exploitative, although the novel Children of the Void (1996), also by Miss Snow, is about a group of women creating a quasi-intemorphic community.
Blonde Bombshell Books
Triple-B to its friends – was the publishing arm of the short-lived website Lipstick Theater which also made “dynamic captions” and other experimental multimedia forms under the name of Blonde Bombshell Creations.
BBB published Enter Amelia Bingham in association with the then briefly independent Golden Order Press.
The Golden Order Press
Was another imprint of the Imperial Press, which published The Feminine Universe (1998), a very non-commercial book whose publication was a labor of love. The imprint was later acqired by the Feminine Publishing Co. which also acquired all remaining stocks of the first edition.
The Feminine Publishing Co.
The immediate forerunner to the Sun Daughter Press. The FPC electronically published the Amazon material currently found at All-Girl Worlds it also republished the then-out-of-print Enter Amelia Bingham and took over the Golden Order Press imprint and the handling of The Feminine Universe.
The Feminine Publishing Company published The Gospel of Our Mother God, also under the Golden Order imprint and Sappho: 100 Lyrics as The Feminine Publishing Co.
All Girl Worlds
Is the sister site of the Sun Daughter Press. It acts as an online library for intemorphic fiction and also houses the collection of intemorphic/amazon material formerly deployed by the Feminine Publishing Co. It will act as a showcase for new intemorphic authoresses and for our published writers, as well as a place where people can learn exactly what intemorphic literature is.
The Sun Daughter Press
Now maintains the Golden Order Press and publishes all the above books that remain in print or have been reissued, with plans to republish some of the others. We are launching our own new catalog with The Flight of the Silver Vixen and have some exciting new intemorphic projects in the pipeline.
