6/25/08 - "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. And finally, I'm also short listed for Tristan Taormino's "Best Lesbian Erotica". I'll keep you posted!

09/23/07 - 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.

6/2/07 - The Iridescence Blog Tour is underway. Here is the link to my Q&A.

5/30/07 - "Iridescence: Sensuous Shades of Lesbian Erotica", edited by Jolie du Pre, 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!

4/30/07 - An acceptance for one of my favorite type of anthologies: lesbian love stories. "Warm Hands" (set in Aspen, Colorado) has made the cut for "Best Lesbian Love Stories: Summer Flings" edited by Simone Thorne and published by Alyson Books. Publication is October 2007.

04/12/07 - Two very nice acceptances. "Arizona, Ireland, New England" will be in Alison Tyler's "E is for Exotic", and "Game, Set and Match" will be in her "G is for Games". Both books are part of her themed alphabet series put out by Cleis Press.
