Notes on the characters from MIND GAMES

Wren totally looks like Winona Ryder when she had short, short hair, with those big eyes and a kind of fragile gothic heroine look about her. While I based Derek on an anime character I love, actually, the male lead in BLOOD ALONE.

Some upcoming appearances

My upcoming speaking engagements…

I’ll be in Provincetown next Saturday (Women’s Week) doing a couple of things supporting the Lesbian Cowboys books I’m in. Several editors and contributors to recent Cleis Press erotic anthologies will be on hand at :

Blogging BookExpo America, Thursday night

I arrived a bit late to NYC today, thanks to much traffic along the Bolt Bus route. Still, $14 one way to get me to a major trade show was too good a deal to pass up. In these tough economic times, if it weren’t for the $14 bus, I’d probably be skipping the…

What’s next, witch burning??

I honestly can not wrap my head about a lawsuit pending in Wisconsin in which four West Bend community members are claiming that just SEEING A COPY of Francesca Lia Block’s young adult book BABY BE-BOP on display in the public library damaged them. (“Oh my virgin…

Going Mobile… does this blog look ok to you?

So I’ve installed a plugin that detects if someone visits this blog with a mobile device such as an iPhone or Blackberry. I’ve tested it for iPhone myself and it works nicely! Anyone else out there have other devices who can tell me how it looks for…

My Worldcon Schedule!

My Worldcon Schedule!

Please note, I do NOT use 24-hour time like the con committee does. It fucks me up. So this has been translated to AM/PM time that doesn’t trigger my numeric dyslexia. (All numbers become synonyms to me.)

Zen and the Art of Farm Shares

When we sat down to dinner the other night at my “let’s use up some farm share stuff” meal with my Baitcon widow friends, it was the first time I’ve had the urge to say grace over a meal ever. The connection of the food to the land and to my own health and happiness had…

Summer Dinner

My posts on Twitter yesterday as I was cooking what I deemed the “Baitcon Widows dinner” prompted many people begging for the recipes.

See, me and two friends got together partly because our spouses are all off at this annual private party in the woods where about 100–150 of…
