Me, Myself, and Ay yi yi yi yi

July 6, 2009

Hi, all.

I have stepped into the contributor's spotlight over at Homofactus Press, publisher of the voluminous collection called Visible: A Femmethology. (I'm in volume two, fyi.)

In addition to my quirky questionnaire, I've also supplied - for your enjoyment - an author photograph, in which I am perched piquantly on the nifty cow stool that stands in a corner of my kitchen.

So click on over and check me out.

Dirty Blonde

So I'm browsing the archives of YouTube, not specifically seeking smut, and what do I encounter?

Smut!

I wasn't searching for it, I swear, Girl Scout's honor. (Though something tells me that my never having been a Girl Scout invalidates this vow.)

Anyhow, seeing as I write erotica, and seeing as how this is a blog about erotica, and seeing as how this clip is, indubitably, evocative of erotica...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm getting to it, I'm getting to it.

Fast-forward until you're 2 minutes and 12 seconds into the video.

Marry, Marry, Quite Contrary

May 27, 2009

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a button that reads, "Love is tender and knows no gender." I haven't pinned it to anything yet, but with the recent decision by the Cali Supreme Court to sustain Prop H8... well, I don't really need more of an incentive than that, do I?

*sigh*

You're probably wondering, 'Gee, what can I do to help?' Well, I'm glad you asked that. You can do one of two things or both of two things:

1) If you're a resident of the golden state, you can sign this petition...

...and/or...

2) ...If you're a resident of any state (or any place, for that mater), you can purchase a copy of I Do: An Anthology in Support of Marriage Equality, which includes my piece, "Holy Macaroni (and Cheese)." The proceeds generated from the sale of the anthology benefit Lambda Legal's sedulous struggle for the right of all people to tie the knot.

What's new in the world of Wonderland, you ask?

Well, Alison Tyler's collection, Hurts So Good: Unrestrained Erotica, won the Anthology Award in the National Leather Association: International Writing Awards. (Guess they've gone global.) Among this "superb collection of stories," as the NLA put it, is my Sapphic story, "Flick Chicks."

In other newsworthy news, three of the five compilations that took top honors in the Lesbian Fiction Readers' Choice Awards category, Favorite Anthology/Short Story Collection, contain pieces of mine: Wetter: More True Lesbian Sex Stories ("Bowl Me Over"), Island Girls: Tropical Lesbian Erotica ("Mahalo"), and Best Lesbian Love Stories 2009 ("The Felicity of Domesticity").

La Isla Bonita

April 22, 2009

Coming Together: Al Fresco is now available! This anthology, edited by Alessia Brio and published by All Romance eBooks, features my Sapphic short story, "Mahalo."

A little tease to please...

We stop walking. She faces the ocean, imbibes the sunset. The brilliant bursts of red and orange and yellow, the mirage of fluorescent, coalescent colors. The sky appears to be exploding, like lava gushing from the mouth of a volcano. A zephyr startles the palm trees, causing the purple-hued leaves to sway and sashay, swishing back and forth beneath the plumage of clouds.

"You're breathtaking," she says, and I cant determine whether she is speaking at the sky or to it. When I do not respond, my admirer turns to me. "I was talking to you," she says, demure, unsure, her eyes straying. She looks left, then right, glances behind her, over one shoulder, then the other.

"We're alone."

"Oh," she says. Then, "Good."

The release date coincides with Earth Day, very appropriate considering that the theme of the collection is vo-de-o-do-do-ing in the out-of-doors.

Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit Conservation International.

After all, you've gotta give some green to get some green, right?

In Any Event...

April 10, 2009

So you know that Femmethology is currently engaged in a virtual tour, but did you know that it's involved in a, um, live-action tour as well?

That's right, folks, you heard it here first (or second or third). Check out the event page for the 4-1-1.

Also, if you haven't yet purchased your copy (my contribution appears in Volume Two), you may do so from Homofactus Press or, if you prefer, from Amazon.

Oh, and please remember to vote! (See the previous post, "Femme's the Breaks," for further details.)
