Welcome to my LiveJournal. I'm a science fiction writer with a growing collection of published short stories, and my collection Unwelcome Bodies is currently available from Apex Publications. It includes, among other stories, "Captive Girl," which was a 2007 Nebula finalist and which made the 2007 Gaylactic Spectrum Awards short list. I started this journal to have a place to talk about writing and the writing life, although you'll probably notice various digressions into belly dance and politics.

Please note that anonymous comments that aren't signed will be deleted.

This has been an interesting week for "Captive Girl" in the academic realm. First, I found out that the story was discussed for an entire class session in a science fiction lit course at NYU's summer school.

Then, I got my comp copy of Lavender Ink: Writing and Selling Lesbian Fiction, written by Fran Walker (et al) and featuring extensive excerpts from "Captive Girl" in Chapter 7: "Short Story Structure."

I find this all to be immensely cool :)
