I am thrilled to announce that my story "
Legend of the Mountain Ash" will be included in
I Do Two, which will be published by MLR Press. Publication date is
February 14, 2010.
Kayelle Allen at Romance Lives Forever has given I Do Two authors two hours on her chat schedule on February 14 to launch the book. Please join us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/romancelivesforever/ from 2:00 to 4:00 P.M., Eastern time. (You might have to join in order to participate, so you might want to do that a day or so before.)
Everyone involved in the writing, design, production, and publishing of
I Do Two has donated his or her work, time, and talent.
All proceeds go to Lambda Legal Foundation to help overcome the seemingly endless legal roadblocks to marriage equality. I want to give a personal thumbs-up of appreciation to the indefatigable editor and designer Kris Jacen, who did it while at the same time doing her day job of editing and doing layout for MLR Press.
The editors had this to say:
"This year... we were, again, struggling with the problem that we had so many good stories that we had to reject some for no better reason than that they were too long, or they were ever so slightly less relevant to the theme than other stories of the same length.
"Strangely enough, the heat level is way down this year, making this a volume highly suitable for buying for friends and relatives who might be supportive of civil rights without wanting to read too much erotica. But otherwise we have perhaps more of a wide spread of subjects and settings than we had last year, and a real international line-up with authors from the USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and Australia."

Details on the 2010 publication of the Sherlock Holmes anthology from Lethe Press. I will have a short story in it, titled, "
Whom God Destroys." This story is a dry run of a projected Victorian suspense novel of the same name. It's something very different for me. I hope those who like
The Phoenix and the upcoming
Counterpoint will enjoy a suspense story just as much. And don't worry: there's another love story on the way.
Details on the long-awaited publication of Counterpoint -- cover art, excerpts, and some prepub comments from readers of the manuscript, including some authors who are well-known to readers of LGBT literature.
