Two books I've edited are finalists for the Golden Crown Literary Society Award this year, Through the Hourglass: Lesbian Historical Romance for Fiction Anthology and Thunder of War, Lightning of Desire: Lesbian Historical Military Erotica for Erotica. The winners will be announced at the GCLS convention on July 9.
Both of these books have historical themes, and I jumped at the chance to do them. Fortunately two wonderful groups of writers shared my love of history and contributed stories that I'm proud to share with you.
