Tasting Her is Here!
I haven’t usually found checking my snail mail more compelling than sitting here checking my email (for hours on end), but when I saw yesterday on Alison Tyler’s blog that she had received her contributor copies of Tasting Her (and Tasting Him, as she is in both of them), I rushed right downstairs to check my mail too! It hadn’t come yet. But later when I scurried down there again (no, of course I wasn’t standing outside watching for the mail truck to come…please), my contributor copies of Tasting Her were indeed there as well!
I want to point out immediately that in the table of contents, I am sandwiched directly between Alison Tyler and Thomas Roche…um, holy shit, what an amazing place to be!
As I said when I announced my acceptance into this anthology, this volume is full of incredible writers with whom I am honored to be in the same publication. Donna George Storey, Jeremy Edwards, Gwen Masters, the above-mentioned hot slices of bread in my table of contents sandwich of ecstasy, and the editor herself, Rachel Kramer Bussel, just begin to cover the list!
In addition, Rachel has named the October session of her New York-based In the Flesh reading series “Oral Sex Night” and has invited the authors in Tasting Her and Tasting Him to read. I am ecstatic to say that I plan to attend, and I actually plan to read too, though I haven’t spent too much time focusing on that yet in case the chicken-shit tendencies that I highly suspect are lurking in me somewhere rear up and result in a frantic attempt to back out at the last minute. :) But anyway, I am thrilled to be going to New York for the reading — there will be a number of writers there that I have met online that I will be actually getting a chance to meet in person, which I am almost as excited about as the reading itself!
Tasting Her is available for pre-order on Amazon (should be out very soon even though the release date there says September) and through the publisher. It also has its own blog which can be found here!
