GCLS!

I’ve never been to one of these before! I’ll be signing books and handing out some freebies.

* 2011

September 4th
In Other Words – Pacific Northwest Writers reading.

Not that I did a reading – way too shy for that – and I didn’t have any books to sell, but I was there for the moral support.

February 25th
Bella’s Blog – Sanguire series picked up by Bella Books.

I pitched a three book arc, and was accepted into the Bella Books family. I’m looking forward to working with them!

January 25th
Cocktail Hour – Andi and the Rev discuss Tiopa Ki Lakota over a couple of Fleur De Lis™

I absolutely enjoyed listening to this podcast! “I call bulls**t!” This link isn’t for the faint of heart—booze, fanfic, and swearing prevail!

June 14th
Femslash For Fans – Allaine interviews myself, Susan X Meagher, and Kim Pritekel.

This episode is entitled ‘Because Two Hours of Xena Really Isn’t Enough’. Allaine originally interviewed Missy Good, KG MacGregor and Linda Crist in January (link here.) The response was so strong, another Xena related show was put together. Me? Terrified, but I’m told I don’t sound it! Whew!

* 2008

Lesbian Fiction Readers’ Choice Awards – On Azrael’s Wings received an award for the Top 5 Favorite Speculative Fiction/Science Fiction/Fantasy Books of 2008.

The same book and the same year, I received the Lesbian Fiction Readers’ Choice Book Cover Award for the same title.

Thanks for the cover award goes to Stephanie Solomon-Lopez. She did the covers to my first five books and has always impressed me with her talent!

* 2006

Royal Academy of Bards Hall of Fame – two awards, one for writing Xena: Warrior Princess based fan fiction, and one for Iditarod.

These awards are voted on by the readers of the Xenaverse. Iditarod eventually became Broken Trails, published by PD Publishing in 2011.

February
Evolution Interview – by Nonny.

Evolution was a site that spun off Forward Motion Writers Community, and had a heavier, darker feel to it. Unfortunately, the site has disappeared, which is a shame. There were some wild and crazy people there.
