It’’s no secret we love short fiction. We love producing Khimairal Ink. We jumped at the opportunity to publish a collection of Barbara Davies” speculative fiction stories, Into the Yellow and Other Stories. We enjoyed working on Into the Yellow so much and are so pleased with the final product that we decided to put out a series of small books, in the spirit of literary chapbooks, devoted to lesbian literature. These story collections are by authors we enjoy and by authors we”ve yet to discover.

Why the name Zerynthia? Zerynthia was a Scythian Amazon. Her name means “rich in game” and she was named for a Thrakian Lady of the Beasts. The real life Scythian warrior women are often considered to be the inspiration for the Amazons found in Greek literature and mythology. Zerynthia is also a genus of swallowtail butterfly, a nice metaphor for the process of transforming ideas into stories.
