I was just interviewed for an article for Psychology Today, based on Married Women Who Love Women, the topic being “When a spouse radically changes.” It should be out in March.
Also… on November 18, I spoke at the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library in regard to A Writer’s Journey; What to Know Before, During, and After Writing a Book. There were writers in all stages of their development. Their enthusiasm created a wonderful energy in the packed room.
I’ll be speaking about my book, A Writer’s Journey, What to Know Before, During and After Writing a Book this Saturday October 30 for the Boston Mensa‘s regional gathering in Boston.

The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) announces a weekend-long event/conference/festival of lesbian history, culture, arts, scholarship, discussion, and performance. The event will call upon experience, memory, and scholarship to represent the broad and wide experience of lesbians during the 1970s. The conference embraces a variety of topics and formats, from intimate conversations to more formal presentations of original research, from roundtables to workshops to reminiscences.

I’ll be on the Sunday panel of “meet the authors” at the International Women’s Writing Guild‘s two day workshop at The National Arts Club in NYC. 15 Gramercy Park South (just east of East 20th St.) This building is amazingly beautiful and registration comes with a sumptuous lunch. This is a wonderful time to connect with other women writers and would/be writers. (It was this organization that led to my becoming a writer and I can’t say enough good things about it.) I’ll be on the Sunday panel of “meet the authors.”
Details here.
Please drop me a note or come up and introduce yourself if you are able to come.
I’m showing in the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition’s Fall show from September 25 – October 31.

After the Irish Independence newspaper mentioned my book Married Women Who Love Women in an article called “The Day I Realized I Was in Love With Another Woman”, I got an email from Newstalk radio, an Irish radio station. The interview is scheduled for their afternoon show with Sean Moncrieff on Monday, August 23 at 4:00 PM GMT or 11:00 AM EST. and the station is Newstalk 106-108 FM Dublin
The newspaper piece can be seen on www.independent.ie
One woman quoted in the piece said that when she was thirteen, (46 years ago,) the word ‘gay’ didn’t exist in Ireland. Girls didn’t even know anything about their periods, let alone their sexuality.”
I wasn’t surprised by that. According to David Wyatt, between the years of 1961 and 1970, one gay character was documented on a television show. From 1991 to 2000, gay characters numbered 306.
