"Bitter Waters" out in the world...

No sightings in the wild yet, but my new collection Bitter Waters, from the estimable Lethe Press, is now very thoroughly available. Bill Schafer got his copy this morning, so what are you-all waiting for?

Which is sweet of them to let me know, and kind of nostalgic, given that my earliest ventures into publishing - lo, these thirty-seven years since - were straight romances. This book, I have to tell you, contains little that is either straight or romantic.)
