Lovely, lovely review...
May. 9th, 2009 08:50 pmand a probable sale, though we're still discussing the issue of reprints on the latter. I'll post when that gets resolved.
This very morning, the wonderful and talented Lisabet Sarai has seen fit to say terribly flattering things about Night's Kiss. I have to say that I am very honored to have my talented peers appreciate my work. It's a kind of intense fluttery feeling that I don't get alot. So a huge shoutout to Lisabet and Donna George Storey and Jean Roberta to say THANK YOU for your reviews of the current version of NK! I love your work and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed mine. :-D
And on a related side note, a number of years back I wrote a story that I hoped to place in an anthology to be edited by Pat Califia (pre-Patrick, so this dates it a bit). I figured I had to try something that hadn't been tried a zillion times so I came up with a story about knife play. Then I set it in Victorian London and had my protag, who can be read as either very butch or trannie, depending on perspective, hunt Jack the Ripper. I remember thinking as I popped it in the envelope (pre-email subs, even), "Wow, I hope this gets accepted for this antho because I'm never going to be able to sell it elsewhere."
As it happened, the antho vanished as they do from time to time and I let the story sit for a bit. The story,"An Incident in Whitechapel," appeared in the first version of Night's Kiss, then got reprinted in Best Lesbian Erotica 2005, then again in Best Lesbian Bondage Erotica. It has since cropped up in several reviews as a favorite tale. So there we have it: the value of authorial persistence at work. V. pleased.
