GCLS 2006


The second annual convention in Altanta was fabulously fun! There's nothing like the laughter of women to put me in a great, creative mood.


Time spent chatting with readers is always well-spent, and I love signing books. Equally energizing is the chance to meet and talk to other writers, because we all share the same passion for lesbian literature. This photo of Lori Lake playing with handcuffs is a personal favorite.


The mayhem and madness of charades, jeopardy and panel readings was a terrific contrast with the studied and serious presentation of writing techniques. I was honored to pick up my second Goldie for Just Like That! Ann Bannon was the keynote speaker this year, and her intimate look at the publishing of pulp fiction was fascinating.


There are photos from the events posted online by other attendees at Flickr. Here's the link to my photo set.
