Torc's Salvation is a Recommended Read!

At Fallen Angels Reviews!

Donna said, "This is a story that as a reader I felt the highs and lows of this couple—the frustration of Torc trying to teach Ailyea to be self sufficient and of her trying to get him to understand she wanted him as much as he wanted her. I was there watching the shape shifters trying to stop the slavers and wanting to help them. The reader will be pulled into Ms. Logen’s story and not want to leave when that last page is turned. I hope she’ll give us more of this future worlds as the secondary characters deserve their own stories and the readers will want them. Torc’s Slavation is a book that any reader that loves a good futuristic story that will keep them turning the page will want on their keeper shelf. I highly recommend it to one and all."

13 things I’m not looking forward to about RT by Lany 1. The drive. Six hours. I will have Sapphire Phelan with me to pass the time. As I get lost *cough*. 2. Parking. I’m not brilliant in parking decks. 3. Someone once said a writer’s conference consisted of a bunch of introverts pretending to be extroverts. Yes, after being around so many people and having to play like I’m not quiet and shy… 4. Pitching. Yes, I get nervous. Uggh. 5. Wearing nice shoes. I’m used to sneakers. LOL sometimes the feet don’t like to wear flats. 6. Being away from email. I may take my laptop but know I won’t get to check that often. I’ll be having withdrawal. 7. The edits I think are going to come while I’m at RT. 8. Being away from the hubby. I miss him when I’m gone. I'll miss the girls, too. And the critters. 9. Coming home to…*whispers* a nasty house. After only being gone a weekend, I’ve come home and had to clean before I could sit down. 10. Coming home to everyone wanting my attention. The hubby, both kids, and both pets are going to want a piece of me Sunday. 11. How tired I’m going to be on Sunday. I’ll have several late late nights. 12. The drive home. Coming home from New Jersey on a Sunday was busy as could be once I hit Washington. I anticipate the same this time *sigh* 13. Getting caught up on everything I need to on Monday. Writing, mail, email, Google reader (eek I’m already behind and have over 150 unread feeds). Did I mention writing?

Nothing but Red

Sometime in April of 2007 (some say the 7th), a mob pulled Du'a Khalil Aswad into their midst. Supposedly she had been fraternizing with a man not of her faith. They brutally stoned and beat her to death in an honor killing. She was 17 years old. Some recorded Aswad on their cell phones and the horrific images were later posted to the internet.

Joss Whedon of Buffy and Serenity fame penned a blog entry about the incident and about misogyny in all cultures. A few authors got together and decided to create an anthology to raise awareness about the issues Joss Whedon spoke of in his essay and also about Aswad's murder. The anthology contains artwork, essays, poetry, and stories by a multitude of authors.

Nothing but Red is now available. All profits will go to Equality Now. To read more about Nothing but Red, including a list of contributors, go here.
