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

Which makes it my 5th book to final for these particular awards (2 winners thus far). All in all, a lovely way to start my Tuesday. :-D

A Day at the Inn, A Night at the Palace and Other Stories (Lethe Press, 2011) for Lesbian Science Fiction and Fantasy.

And Silver Moon (Lethe Press, 2012) up for Lesbian Paranormal/Horror.
And we'll see how that goes.

Apart from that, did some writing last night after a terrific Lady Poetesses from Hell reading at DreamHaven. Tomorrow night, Kij Johnson is reading there at 6:30. I'll be over there seeing how it's done. The stories of hers I've read so far haven't totally grabbed me but I'm open to being persuaded.

"Hellebore and Rue" is nominated for Best SF/F, " A Day at the Inn, A Night at the Palace and Other Stories" is up for Best Short Story Collection and I'm up for Best Author. Many other authors and books are up in these and other categories, though votes for me and mine are, as always, much appreciated. :-)
