I'm conducting a book drive for a wonderful local organization called Out Books on Wheels. They maintain a lending library of lesbian-themed books, and deliver them on request to senior lesbians in western Massachusetts. If you have books to contribute, and especially if you write or edit such books, you might consider donating some. You can message me here or e-mail sacchigreen@gmail.com if you'd like to mail them to me to pass along, and I'll thank contributors here. (I'm donating some of my own anthologies, but unfortunately erotica is not high on their list of requests, so I hope my friends here can make up for my deficiencies.) I can help with postage if needed. http://www.OutBooksOnWheels.org/OutBooksOnWheels/Home.html

Good news, much appreciated in the midst of stress.

My collection "A Ride to Remember" (Lethe Press) is now a GCLS Award finalist, as well a  Lambda one.

And my story "The Pirate from the Sky" (which some of you kindly voted for in the Circlet Press poll) will be included in Fantastic Erotica: The Best of Circlet Press 2008-2012, due out in October.

As an aside, I wrote a prequel to that story, "The Dragon Descending," (with much more overt dragon action,) which will be in Delilah Devlin's She-Shifters coming out in July. And my own anthology Girl Fever: 69 Stories of Sudden Sex for Lesbians will be out in June. I foresee another free book drawing coming up. And a reading, which I'll post about shortly.

Yes, two of my books made the finalist list. In the same category! The ways of the Lambda Literary Awards are mysterious indeed. I am...overwhelmed. And amazed that several books I was sure should be finalists weren't.
For Lesbian Cops (Cleis Press) all the credit is due to the wonderful contributors. For my collection A Ride to Remember (Lethe Press), I'm hugely thrilled to have my own writing recognized.
The winners won't be known until the ceremony on June 4th in NYC, but however that comes out, I'm feeling, well, overwhelmed right now. I do think I'll make the trip to the city for the event, especially since I already have readings scheduled there for June 5th (for Kristina Wright's anthology Lustfully Ever After) and June 6th (for my newest anthology Girl Fever: 69 Stories of Sudden Sex for Lesbians and D.L. King's The Harder She Comes: Butch/Femme Erotica.) Both of these readings will be at Bluestockings Books, and you can be sure I'll be posting and prodding closer to the events.

Yay! The Circlet Press site for the poll to choose previous stories for their upcoming anthology is now malware-free, so voting can resume. If anyone would like to check out my lesbian pirate story set in the South Pacific on the eve of WWII, you can find a longish snippet on http://sacchi-green.blogspot.com. If you'd like to read more, comment here or e-mail sacchigreen@gmail.com.

I've just posted a looong excerpt from my story "The Pirate from the Sky" (from the Circlet Press e-book Like a Treasure Found) on my blog, http://sacchi-green.blogspot.com .
And Circlet Press is holding a poll to choose which stories from the last several years of e-books will be included in a print anthology to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the press. http://www.circlet.com/?p=3777#more-3777
Coincidence? Well...
55 stories have been selected by the editors, and the poll will narrow them down to 15-18.
Just sayin'.

Steamy story, humor, and free book drawing! This is my big day on the Coming Together: Share the Love blogbash. Come on over to see my contribution to this excellent series of anthologies whose proceeds benefit charities. The middle half of my story "Seafood Cocktail" is posted as an excerpt, and I'm holding a drawing for a copy of any of my Cleis anthologies, so please come and comment. Even if the story squicks you out. But don't worry; I stopped the excerpt just short of any oyster abuse. http://lisabetsarai.blogspot.com/2012/02/sex-humor-and-oysters.html

Don't miss a chance to win a Kindle Fire, plus books from some of the bloggers from the Coming Together series. These erotica anthologies are done as fundraisers for charities; Amnesty International gets the proceeds of Coming Together: At Last, the multi-racial book my story is in. Check out this blog site every day this month, leave a comment every time, and be entered in the Kindle drawing. Meanwhile, some of us will be offering free book drawings on the days we blog; I'm on February 8th, and I'll offer a choice of any one of my anthologies.
Coming Together: Share the Love!

I've been moderating the online Naked Reader Book Club discussions for several months, but I haven't posted much about them here because the books they choose, while all excellent (and from Cleis Press,) are for the most part straight erotica. This week, though, Tuesday Jan. 24, we're discussing an anthology no one should miss: Tristan Taormino's Take Me There: Trans and Genderqueer Erotica. If you haven't read the book, you can find out a great deal about it during the discussion. Here's the blurb I've been posting here and there:
Take Me There: Trans and Genderqueer Erotica, 8-10 pm EST tomorrow evening on the Naked Reader Book Club. Not to be missed. If you identify as transgender, or have friends who do, you'll be glad a book this fine has gone there at last. If you don't know much about the trans folk in our communities, you'll be glad to know them at last. Some of the finest writers I know offer searingly hot stories that range from sweet to sadistic, tender to torrid, kinky to achingly lovely. http://www.edenfantasys.com/sex-forum/clubs/naked-reader-book-club/naked-reader-book-club-29/
