While I've never met Jinx Beers personally, she changed my life. She bought my first short story (first written, first submitted), "M. Le Maupin" for her magazine Lesbian Short Fiction, and she showed my story to artist Alicia Austin, who made fabulous cover art from one of the scenes in it. And then I quit law school. To write. And the rest is sort of, history, I guess. Anyway, she did a lot of other things too, hence the profile.

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. :-).
