Some of it very good on the personal level, just for variety. After an action-packed couple of weeks, we have the following to report:

Flights of Foundry was once again delightful. Good panels and discussions and a fun virtual time all around.
I'll be teaching So You Want to Put Together an Anthology for Cat Rambo's Rambo Academy (online) this Sunday April 24, 11:30-1:30 AM CST and there's still room for a few more signups!
My essay, "Queer Gothic, Edward Gorey and Me" has been accepted for Divergent Terror: The Crossroads of Queerness and Horror edited by Waylon Jordan (Off Limits Press, 2022). It's the first of the things that I've been poking at as a result of getting a literary grant from Ladies of Horror Fiction last year. More queer horror-related stuff coming soon, I hope!
Thanks to dave ring of Neon Hemlock Press, I'm going to be part of an online small press science fiction and fantasy panel for Library of Congress staff in June. :-D
Jennie Goloboy and I will be teaching a free workshop on demystifying agent and publisher relationships and processes for Clarion West Online in June and it just opened for signups! We'll also be teaching at the Loft Literary Center and the Rambo Academy later on this summer.
Queen of Swords Press title Foxhunt by Rem Wigmore is a Sir Julius Vogel Award Finalist for Best Novel! And our latest, The Language of Roses by Heather Rose Jones, is getting some lovely reviews!

Inflagranti Delicto: Writing Good Sex Scenes

Instructor: Catherine Lundoff
Class: L111, 1 Day Class, Summer 2009
Location: Open Book
Date(s): July 18
Time(s): 1:00 – 5:00 pm

Enrollment: Open
Member Price: $48.00; Nonmember Price: $52.00

"Sex sells" may be a cliché, but remember that it sells better if you do it well. Do you have a story that needs spicing up? A romance whose characters never seem to get intimate? A mystery in which you throw your hero out of a plane to avoid writing about his relationship with his girlfriend? Writing a sex scene doesn’t have to be scary nor does it need to be entirely about the sex. This class will help you figure out what sex scenes can do for your plot and how to write to make them fit your story. We’ll look at examples and discuss options for what you can do to write and improve the sex scenes you want to include in your story. Resource list provided.
