Oh good...more headaches

Literally, rather than figuratively. On day two of intermittent migraine. Sigh.
Have also started on the multiple weeks of laundry which needed to be done, dropped things off at the green cleaners, got caught up with a couple of the many friends I have not seen in months and have embarked on cleaning the house. Next up, reading of subs, writing of more novel, planning of classes. Just as soon as I can sit up without a light show.

Blast from the past

Seeing as I'm getting things more or less done tonight.
Waaaay back in 1997, a magazine called Lesbian Short Fiction, edited by Jinx Beers bought and published the first short story that I ever wrote: a historical romance entitled "M. Le Maupin." It was based on an incident from the life of the notorious 17th century French opera singer, duelist, lover of women and men Julie d'Aubigny Maupin. Someday  I shall finish the novel I started about her a few years back. Post werewolves. At any rate, celebrated fantasy artist Alicia Austin did the cover illustration from my story. To say this is one of my prized possessions would be an understatement (and yes, I squeed like a fangrrl when I finally met her and got her to sign my other copy. :-).
