I was kindly asked to participate in a group of writers who were reading all erotic fiction at WisCon 37; because I love to read my work, I said yes, without having anything ahead of time.  So I wrote a piece that takes place between the two main characters of The Llano Estacado Bioremediation Blues, which is a post apocalyptic western.  Someday I' ( Read more... )

And here it is, the Scribe Agency Youtube channel with a couple of clients' readings from this past WisCon!

One is me, the other is the magical Pan Morigan and wonderful Andrea Hairston.

And of course, my stuff is not safe for work.

Ah, WisCon.  Here's hoping I can write about it.

Sadly, I had been feeling some sort of weird intestinal distress Thursday, and it did not go away all weekend.  No, not a bug, just some irritating sequelae of diet change and nerves.  Here's an example.  A small group of us went to one of the Nepalese restaurants Sunday evening, before the awards ( Read more... )

I am seriously thinking of suggesting panels about:

1. Men talking to men about rape.

Here's another entry in the You Gotta Be Fucking Kidding Me files.

It's concerning a PA against heavy teen drinking, taking the tactic of "drinking a lot will get you raped."

PA Liquor Control Board to teens: Rape is your fault, and your friends’ fault!

Once again, we see how rape is the woman's fault. This line of thinking is of course unspeakably ( Read more... )
