Happy St Patrick’s Day!
Before I head out to the parade and a pint of porter in my local pub here in Ireland, I want to tell you some news. Firstly, the aforementioned “The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories” edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel is about to hit the stores. Rachel’s running a fantastic promotion:

An acceptance that I’ve been slack about mentioning. My Australian lesbian cowboy story, “Cully’s Run” will be in Sacchi Green and Rakelle Valencia’s latest anthology from Cleis Press. I’m rather fond of the love interest in this story. 
Happy success stories
It’s always great when a story really comes together and when you lift fingers from the keyboard at the end, you know you’ve got a story to be proud of. “Wing Walker” was one of those, and it will be in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s “The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories” coming out from Cleis Press in April. Coming out in January 2009, again from Cleis is “Best Lesbian Romance 2009″ edited by Radclyffe. This includes my story “Eyes” (writing as Maggie Kinsella). And finally, also from Cleis, due in June 2009, is “Girl Crazy: Coming Out Erotica” which will include my story “Flannel and Fleece”.
Two Yeses and a No
More news: “North Star Dyke”, my Northern Irish story will be included in “Best Lesbian Love Stories” published by Alyson. Another Alison, the great Alison Tyler, will be including an excerpt from my story “White Rush” in her upcoming book “Never Have the Same Sex Twice”. I also have a tentative acceptance for another lesbian anthology, but I’ll hold my horses on that until it’s confirmed. Unfortunately, I didn’t make the cut for “Best Lesbian Erotica”. Next year, maybe!
The next best thing to running a marathon, is…
Reading about it.
“Marathon Woman” was up on Clean Sheets, one of my favorite erotica sites. I also have copies of “Lipstick on Her Collar”. edited by Sacchi Green and Rakelle Valencia. I’m the first story in the book, which makes me very happy.
Some new acceptances too, some going back quite a way. Firstly, “College Reunion” will be in the Mammoth Book of Erotic Confessions, ETA May 2009. That one will be under a made up name (What! And you thought Cheyenne Blue was invented! . Then “White Rush” and “Lake Logan” will both be in Alison Tyler’s upcoming “Frenzy” put out by Cleis Press. Also upcoming from Cleis is Radclyffe’s “Best Lesbian Romance 2009″. My story “Eyes” has made the cut for that. Then, after an absence of a couple of years, I have a story, “What If?”, in “Best Women’s Erotica 2009″. And finally, I’m also short listed for Tristan Taormino’s “Best Lesbian Erotica”. I’ll keep you posted!
Bad Cheyenne. No cookie.
Bad Cheyenne! Months without an update. Firstly, I have in my hands a slew of contributor’s copies. “Tales of Travelrotica for Lesbians Volume 2″ edited by Simone Thorne contains my story “Carrowkeel”, which is the last story in the book. Rightly or wrongly, I always get a real kick out of being one of the first two or last two stories. Not that I’ve ever been the number one cab off the rank. Someday, maybe. Travelrotica has great stories from great authors. Don’t miss “In from the Cold” by Lynne Jamneck. Also edited by Simone Thorne is “Best Lesbian Love Stories: Summer Flings” which has my Colorado story, “Warm Hands”.
The cover of Rachel Kramer Bussel’s “Sex and Candy” is exactly like the contents: a riotous swirl of warmth and variety. My story “Rosehips are Red” is in here, and I’ll let you into a secret. The dog in the story, Sammy, was a real and much loved friend. I miss him, but I’m happy that in some small way he gets to live on in this story.
Some acceptances too. “Postcards from Europe” is included in Alison Tyler’s “J is for Jealousy”, those dinky books with the gorgeous covers and steamy contents.
The ever-awesome folks at Clean Sheets have accepted “Marathon Woman” which is another story about running and sex. Or is that sex and running? Publication date for that is tentatively in early April.
Iridescence – coming soon
“Iridescence: Sensuous Shades of Lesbian Erotica”, edited by Jolie du Pre and with my story “Glory B.”, will be on the shelves any day now. Jolie is starting a blog tour so readers can learn a bit more about the authors and their stories. The tour kicks off in Jolie’s blog on June 1. I’m second cab off the rank on June 2. Check back here then!
