When a coed is viciously assaulted on the campus of Harwood University, performance studies professor Celia Perone learns a brutal truth—star athletes can get away with whatever they want. Threatened with her job if she goes public, Celia pays a secret visit to celebrated women’s rights attorney Theodora Constantine. Theo’s riding high after winning a […]

A Day of Visibility

I live in North Carolina, a state that only eight years ago was considered Purple; i.e., Democratic-leaning, but still with significant pockets of GOP support. Cancel that. In 2016 our state politics are now Deep Red, enough to give Kansas a run for its money in the race for the bottom in jobs, the environment, […]

AWP in LA on April 2

The Association for Writing Professionals holds its annual conference in LA this year. On the final day, April 2nd, I’ll be taking part in a panel: Spinsters, Pretty Girls & Bears, Oh My!: Four Decades of Lesbian Writing and Publishing.

Coming in May: Trial by Fury

Ahhhh!!! That sublime moment when you save your document with the words Final Version. I sent one out this morning, a dramatic romance exploring one of the most pressing issues on college campuses. Here’s the blurb: Trial by Fury When a coed is viciously assaulted on the campus of Harwood University, performance studies professor Celia […]

Fallen Pieces

It’s true what they say about time speeding up when you get older. I only realized that last May when Jenny and I were packing up to leave the California desert for our summer place in the mountains of North Carolina. We’ve been doing the “snowbird” thing for about 12 years — before CA, we […]

Two cat or not two cat

I’m a Cat Person. When Jenny & I first met, I had Katie & Gracie (Katharine Hepburn & Grace Jones, from whom I stole my pseudonym), she had Cody & Smokey; and we threw them together rather suddenly under one roof. Gracie liked Cody & Smokey just fine and they became the 3 Amigos. Whereas […]

Let’s hit the Reset Button for 2016

New Year’s resolutions are increasingly indistinguishable from wish lists. Millions of people across America will resolve to quit smoking, lose weight, get fit, watch less TV, be kinder, save money, volunteer, etc. The list usually involves taking away a vice or adding a virtue. Depending on your statistical source, only 8 to 20 percent of […]

The Top 10 of 2015

There’s no denying it’s been a devastating year for the lesbian fiction community. After the heartbreaking loss of beloved authors Nene Adams and Sandra Moran, it’s hard to want to scroll back through the year’s social media posts and blog entries. I remember going through this same exercise in 2007 only a few days after […]

T-Minus Two — Contemporary Fiction about Science

Bella’s 12 Days of Christmas Sale features last summer’s title, T-Minus Two — $6.99 for the ebook, today only. My publisher has asked me to scream the following at the top of my lungs: THIS BOOK IS NOT SCIENCE FICTION! Apparently, she’s gotten feedback from longtime customers who say they usually buy my books, but […]

How nice …

The Touch of a Woman is the story of a woman facing the aftermath of a mass shooting. How nice she’s able to overcome her loss and find love again. Anyone But You pits environmental activists against Big Oil and the politicians in their pockets. How nice when the polluters and their cronies are marched off in handcuffs. […]
