If you are in Los Angeles and looking for something to do tonight (or just interested in stalking me), I plan to be at the BOOM Comics holiday party at Meltdown Comics this evening. Beforehand, I am going to learn to make red velvet cake because it is Forrest Black’s birthday. Red velvet cake has […]
2033: The Future of Misbehavior is a collection of science fiction vice tales, compiled by the editors of Nerve and apparently sponsored by Svedka vodka. The front matter reads, “Instigated by Svedka”, but I’m going to go out on a limb and believe that instigated means sponsored in this instance. Although it could just mean […]
Michelle Tea is one of those special writers whose work fills you with an aching longing for her character. You can’t help falling in love with them. Much of what I’ve read of Michelle Tea’s in the past was memoir, but Rose of No Man’s Land is a coming of age novel. For some reason, […]
My October has been hectic, so I’m just now getting to sharing with you all some more nice press my Backstage Passes anthology has been receiving.

My Backstage Passes anthology has been receiving some nice press this week, so I thought I’d share. I’m so used to the speed of internet press at this point, that I am chomping at the bit with the turnaround time for print and for a project which requires more in-depth reading for journalists to cover […]
I’ve been thinking about fellow Wesleyan alum Tristan Taormino lately because she was the original catalyst for my Backstage Passes anthology. Tristan is very prolific, but one of her most recent projects is the book Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships. If you are in an open relationship or considering some […]
So, my Backstage Passes book has been accepted for Nook and iPad distribution and of course is formatted for Kindle. All the book trades seem to indicate that the Kindle is in the lead having the most readable screen with the Kindle DX Wireless Reading Device and the newly discounted and nearly-as-good smaller latest generation […]
