"Heiresses of Russ 2012: The Year’s Best Lesbian Speculative Fiction

Edited by Connie Wilkins and Steve Berman. Lethe, $18 trade paper (302p) ISBN 978-1-59021-159-5

The second installment of this annual series is high on adventure and lyrical storytelling, and low on identity angst and feminist politics... Showcasing a mix of authors, from superstars like Nalo Hopkinson to promising newcomers like S.L. Knapp, this solid, well-chosen collection will be enjoyed by genre fans of all genders and orientations." (Oct.)

And another review on an sf/f site worth following. It's very nicely detailed, and gets more favorable as it goes along.

Interview with Disability Blogger Sharon Wachsler

Sharon Wachsler, one of my favorite writers, has just interviewed me on her disability-themed blog. We talked about my views as an editor about stories including characters with disabilities, and ranged widely over other aspects of writing and editing erotica. I had fun, and I hope you'll take a look. Sharon contributed two stories to Girl Crazy, and we've appeared together in various other books.

Big plans for Women's Week in Provincetown in October!

October on Cape Cod can be lovely. On the other hand, it's often cold and rainy. Either way, I'm planning on being there for a couple of days, and doing the reading/book signing thing, along with more than a dozen other writers, including Girl Fever contributors Nat Burns and MJ Williamz.

Dragons Are Forever

I have a story in Delilah Devlin's new lesbian shapeshifter anthology, She-shifters. I've just posted a blog on the site, sharing excerpts from my shapeshifter story, "The Dragon Descending," which is a prequel to my pirate story in Like a Treasure Found from Circlet Press, "The Pirate from the Sky." Go on over and post a comment to be entered to win a Kindle copy of my new Girl Fever anthology.
