An anthology I didn't flake on: With This Ring, I Thee Bed edited by Alison Tyler

Because I don't flake on all anthologies, just the highest-paying! Ha ha ha...or not. I hope I will get more chances at nonfiction, because that's where my heart is, but I will continue to write erotica for as long as the ideas show up. I'm hoping 2011 is the year of making amends and getting second chances to redeem myself for my follies. If not, oh well. But I am determined to cut out all the messiness and focus on what matters. This year and last I lost my way bigtime, and whether it's toxic people or bad behaviors, I'm cutting out everything that's a problem and cutting way back on time wasting so I can work on myself. I fucking need it, clearly.

Proofread my story "Wedding Crasher" that will be in Alison Tyler's 2011 Harlequin Spice anthology With This Ring, I Thee Bed. It's about a bisexual girl who picks up people at weddings, in this case, a hot male/female couple. Look for it in April and see the lineup below.

Congratulations, Jessica Cutler!

I'm so happy for my friend Jessica Cutler, perhaps better known as The Washingtonienne, who even though I never see her these days, is one of my favorite people ever. Seriously, she is fun and wild and sweet and I always have fun with her. So instead of dragging my ass to San Francisco this weekend and being cranky from flying two weekends in a row, the lovely folks at Virgin America (who rock, by the way) are gonna let me push my flight back to January for free, and I get to go to Jessica's wedding!

She and I have both come a long, long way since things like this and this.

Now to figure out what to wear...


Gawker used this photo of her by Bill Wadman, which I adore

She is still pretty much my favorite reader ever at In The Flesh, from back in April 2006 before I wised up and hired someone to videotape everything.
