The wonderful Malinda Lo (author of the fantastic queered Cinderella re-imagining ASH—as well as several other acclaimed novels) interviews me for her #gayYA series for Pride Month. We talk about homophobia vs. heteronormativity; coming-out novels vs. coming-of-age novels; and even some reader-responses to CAM POST.

Some random, random shots from my first BEA: my official, fancy, HarperCollins Author name badge; a blurry Michael Bolton promoting his new book; backs of heads at the HarperCollins cocktail party at The Park; goodbye Manhattan from the train.

I’m actually not sharing this photo of Charlize Theron as the wicked queen from the soon-to-open Snow White and the Huntsman just because it’s AWESOME (thought it certainly is), but also/mostly because I’ve recently been interviewed by fiction writer/blogger/journalist Katia Raina for her blog The Magic Mirror. (See, see—you get what I’m doing here?)

Phenomenal stop-motion of artist Jo Hamilton’s CROCHET work. Wha-wha-what?! Yes, her crochet art. Amazeballs.

I’m over at NPR talking about how I was probably just a skoche too young to quite “handle” my initial reading experience with Rita Mae Brown’s classic lesbian bildungsroman: Rubyfruit Jungle. (Not that that stopped me from gulping it down). This is part of the PG:13 Risky Reads series that NPR is running right now.

Over at the Prairie Schooner Blog, current UNL grad student in fiction writing, and official Schooner blogger, Claire Harlan-Orsi, interviews me, Dave Madden (author of the wonderful nonfiction book The Authentic Animal), and Lee Martin (author of too many wonderful books to list them all here, but including the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Bright Forever: A Novel) about life during and after the PhD in Creative Writing program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
