I'm a Lambda Literary Finalist!
I've been flying all day because the Lambda Literary Awards announced their finalists, and my poetry book The Horizontal Poet made the cut! I've been invited to read on June 3 at Bi Lines in New York City and to attend the 24th Annual Lambda Literary Awards Ceremony on June 4 at the CUNY Graduate Center (365 Fifth Avenue) with an after-party at Slate (54 West 21st Street).
The Lammies are the most prestigious LGBT writing awards in the U.S.A. I would love to go to the ceremony, but I'm a disabled woman with a small pension, so it's going to be tricky. If I can sell enough copies of my book between now and May, I think I can afford the trip. If you would like to help me get there, you can order signed copies of my poetry book *The Horizontal Poet* (Zeitgeist Press, 2011), one of this year's finalists, by sending $14 + $2 shipping (in U.S.) per copy via PayPal to Jmsteckel at aol dot com, or via check to Jan Steckel, PO Box 18797/Oakland, CA 94619. :)
For more details about the awards and a complete list of categories and finalists, including a lot of great reads, see
