Writing updates and announcements
Oct. 1st, 2015 01:17 pmQueers Destroy Horror is out! In eformats so far, but print format is coming soon. You can order it from the Nightmare Magazine website, Weightless Books, etc. It includes an essay by me on the history of LGBTQ horror and dark fantasy; the line up looks amazing and you should definitely pick up your copy soon.
If you're planning on coming to hear me read at DreamHaven Books for the Arcana 45 reading with Benjamin Percy on 10/22 and/or will be at Arcana proper (please come to Arcana! I am Editor GOH and I want to talk Gothic horror and ghost stories by women and queer horror and penny dreadfuls with lots of folks) 10/23-25 in St. Paul, I hope to have print copies with me for sale and autographing.
In other news, I've been asked to to speak to a class on science fiction at the University of MN about representation of older women in the genre and my ongoing bibliography project (new updates coming soon!). In addition, my Aging in IT essay at Model View Culture has prompted a lot of good discussion both locally and elsewhere. Here in town, I'm talking to one women in tech group about doing a panel of older women working in IT and to another about a possible presentation at a development conference next year. Stay tuned!
I'm off to Sirens Con in a few days and am really excited about it. Days and days of writing workshops, relaxation time, reading, spa time and a couple of panels - I expect that it will be glorious!. And when I get back, more legal stuff moving forward for Queen of Swords, which will put me closer to launching things. Updates soon. Plus, new stories in progress.
And while I'm at it, I also need to do a bit of thinking. I have the opportunity to pursue some higher ed options in something related to my day job, but I need to sort out what I can do vs. what I want to do vs. what I need to do. Heading into a thinking cap weekend, while clearing out some other backlogs of projects. Wish me luck!
