Adventures in book covers: Going Gray

When I can't sleep, I look up books on Amazon, and add things to my wish list I want to read. Especially memoirs. This one looks intriguing. Though I must say, I'm really not a huge fan of the "and Everything Else That Really Matters" type of subtitle. It seems overdone and a bit hyperbolic, and also almost like saying that before writing the book/embarking on the adventure, the author knew nothing. But I'll forgive her that because I love these kinds of books in general.

Especially since BEA is around the corner, I'm jonsesing for big piles of new books to devour. I'm making BEA plans now and it's crazy, but in a good way, so many cool agents and editors to say hello to and authors to interact with. I'm signing Lambda Literary Award finalist Glamour Girls: Femme/Femme Erotica (free! come get one for your favorite lesbian or boobiesexual) at Haworth's booth (1503) on Saturday, June 2nd, at 1 pm along with Michael Luongo (editor of Looking for Love in Faraway
Places and reader at June 20th's In The Flesh GLBT Night), Greg Herren (editor of His Underwear, which contains my story "Mystery Man"), and Robert Taylor (author of A Few Hints and Clews).
