I’ve put a new, downloadable free read up on my website. It’s my first published story from December 2000, lesbian erotica titled “Water Music.”
You can download it here.
When I participated in a reading for this anthology, at Bluestockings in New York City, not only did I meet other writers whom I still correspond with today, I was also privileged to see my story interpreted in American Sign Language. The interpreter told me she’d spent the day practicing the stories in a coffee shop, hoping desperately all the while that no one sitting nearby could understand what she was saying.

Finding Refuge:
Telepathic warrior Talia Avi, genius engineer Miki Boudreaux, and augmented soldier Faigin Balfour fought the fascist Federated Colonies for ten years, following the charismatic dissenter Jon Churchill. Then Jon disappeared, Talia was thought dead, and Miki and Faigin struggled to take Jon’s place and stay alive. When the FC is unexpectedly upended, Talia is reunited with her friends and they are given sanctuary on the enigmatic planet Refuge.
