catherineldfThis is what happens when I don't post for a couple of days.
Got one nice rejection from "Fantasy Magazine" of the "Not this. Send Another" variety for "The Prince in Exile." Sigh. I suspect that story will be a hard sell.
And saw my Regency Romance story "Regency Masquerade" (Crossdressing! Highway robbery! Bath! Lesbians!) up at http://wrywriter.com/?page_id=84. "Masquerade" is a reprint from the late lamented "Harrington Park Lesbian Quarterly" - I'm quite pleased to see it in a new home. "The Wry Writer" is a great new lesbian fiction site and well worth checking out, apart from any connection to me.
Speaking of "Masquerade," I got a lovely email last week from a playwright who's been using it in her creative writing class at the University of Gloucestershire in the U.K. I'm quite floored and flattered, I must say. :-D
In other news for Twin Citians: my friend Juliana Pegues has staged her first play, "Q and A" as part of Theater Mu's series at Mixed Blood Theater. We're going this week - should be a very interesting, funny performance.
Dates: May 22 - June 8, 2008
Venue: Mixed Blood Theater, 1501 S Fourth St, Minneapolis
Performances: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm; Sunday at 2:00 pm, Monday June 2 at 8PM
Reservations: 612.338.6131 or www.mixedblood.com
And for those of you in IT or interested in it, the Charles Babbage Institute is doing an exhibit on IT and gender called "Gendered Bits: Identities, Practices, and Artifacts." The show's up at the Elmer Anderson Library at the U of M; the exhibit space keeps regrettably freaky hours for those of us actually working in computing but it is open late on Thursday nights. http://events.umn.edu/event.xml?event=121264;occurrence=409702.

I shall avail myself of a copy shortly (anticipating maybe having reading time in a week or so - how novel!).
