My habit of being only on the short list but never making the final cut for an anthology call seems to be at an end. (I hope permanently :P ). I just found out I made it into the “I Do” charity anthology project created by
alex_beecroft and several others. All profits of the sale of the book to go to the
Lambda Legal Fund and all Printing and distribution costs have been donated by
MLR Press.
I’m so excited about this. I’ve never been a gal who could sit back and do nothing when injustices are happening around me, but with money being so horribly tight, I couldn’t donate to any of the places fighting the hate that is Prop 8. “I Do” gave me the chance to donate something that means a great deal to me, one of the stories I write.
“True Love” was written just for this anthology, and I hope the family feel will touch many not only who are LGBT parents, but also those who’d like the understand the challenge laws like Prop 8 dump on same sex couples and their children. No, this is not one of my erotica pieces, but I’m not less proud of it then anything else I have ever written. With the help of Lee Rowan’s editing eye I’m pleased to soon be able to share it with all of you.
The anthology will be available in ebook and print form, and I'll let you know when it’s available as soon as I get word. Here’s the blurb for you enjoyment and a list of the wonderful authors and stories you’ll find inside.
Do you support the right of any human being to marry the person they love? The right to say 'I Do' to a life of commitment and sharing with that one special person? Through sickness and health, for better or worse, till death do them part?
Remember all, the profits from this anthology will go to the
Lambda Legal Fund to help them fight the cause of marriage equality in the CA Supreme Court and beyond.
