Prop 8 has been declared unconstitutional. The judge said Prop 8: “served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationship and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.” Well, duh. Congratulations California. Australia isn’t forgotten here. You can sign [...]
I have just climbed Mt Cooroora. Before breakfast. It’s only 4km return (that link lies) but it’s a volcanic plug that stands 485 metres. Most of the “walk” is a scramble up rocks, the odd bit of concrete step, 3 flights of metal stairs, and some extremely slippery shale. There’s a chain to hang on to [...]
I have a story, “Run, Jo, Run” coming out this year in “Locker Room ” edited by Ily Goyanes. The publication date seems to be fall 2012, but details are sketchy at this early stage, so I have no cover or table of contents to share as yet. The anthology is a lesbian one with a [...]
Best Lesbian Romance 2012 is out. Here’s the gorgeous cover (OK, here’s not the cover, as I can’t save it from Amazon for some reason) but here it is on Amazon. My story “Rule 4″ is included here, along with stories by such wonderful authors as Lisabet Sarai, JL Merrow, Rachel Kramer Bussel and Evan [...]

Mix all the ingredients together to make a soft dough and [...]
It’s now official – “Girl Fever – 69 Stories of Sudden Sex for Lesbians” is revving up for take off. It’s always exciting to hear you have a story in an anthology, but personally, I get more excited when I see the table of contents and see the company I’m in. Crikey, I [...]
Marriage ain’t what it used to be. And thank zod for that! Personally, I have never felt the need or the urge for marriage. Like oysters, it’s something that other people enjoy. Marriage used to be cozy and vanilla and inextricably tied to the white picket fence and 2.2 snotty nosed children – and hey, I [...]
I got mail today. Lovely shiny copies of “Lesbian Cops: Erotic Investigations” edited by Sacchi Green. Days when books arrive in the mail are always good days. So much possibility between those shiny covers. So much good reading, so many favorite authors to read, so many new authors to discover. I love getting Sacchi’s calls for [...]
I love writing for Sacchi Green (alone or with her wicked co-editor, Rakelle Valencia). Her anthologies are classy, hot, and always an excellent read. I’m very proud to be included in her latest: “Lesbian Cops: Erotic Investigations”. Sacchi is kicking off a blog tour to promote the book; it starts in…. um… it started on [...]
I love it when the mailman staggers to my door. If he’s overloaded, red, and sweating it generally means one thing: books! Either books ordered from my new favorite place to buy – The Book Depository (FREE worldwide delivery and books at UK prices. Did I say FREE worldwide delivery, ladies and gentlemen? That’s one huge [...]
