I’m so nice, they chose me twice!

I’m late in making this announcement (see my last blog for why), but I am proud and amazed that for the second time a story of mine has been chosen to be included in a Best Lesbian Erotica of the Year volume. Volume 7 of the long-running erotic short story collection series was released December 6. On Dec. 15, I participated in a online reading with editor Sinclair Sexsmith and four other contributors. It was great to see and hear especially Sinclair, who thought my writing was so nice they chose me twice! At least two of the readers were BIPOC along with me. Once again, Sinclair as an editor has ensured that BIPOC representation in a BLE volume is maximized , not tokenized, with at least eight of the 20 writers that I know of being part of these communities.
