I am very excited to announce that I am one of the recipients of the Alice B. Reader Award for 2025! I am in jaw-droppingly amazing company both past and present - I will freely admit that I was gobsmacked when I got the news. I mean Joanna Russ! Dorothy Allison! Emma Donoghue and so many other amazing writers in different genres! I want to thank all the lovely women involved in making this award happen - you ROCK! And huge CONGRATS to my fellow winners this year! You can read more about the award and the recipients here. :-D

I haven’t provided my updated bio yet, but here’s a few highlights:
2 time Goldie Award Winner
Rainbow Award Winner
Author of over 100 pieces of short fiction, a whole lot of nonfiction, 3 novels and 7 collections of short fiction.
Editor or co-editor of 3 anthologies
Author of the in-game scenario for World of Darkness: Ghosthunters and tie-in stories for Vampire the Masquerade and Wraith.
Publisher at Queen of Swords Press
Writing instructor, former GoH at several cons and about 2 million readings, panels, interviews and miscellaneous stuff.

And today, I am feeling like it was not all for naught. :-D
