"LITERATURE IN MOTION"
Adapted and Directed by Dee Jae Cox


An exciting stage adaptation of selected excerpts from three of the most exciting new books by three of the hottest authors in Lesbian Literature.

Aftershock:
By KG MacGregor
2007 Lambda Literary Award Winner

This second book of The Shaken Series, continues the compelling tale of two women who discover that real love has no limits. If life was perfect and the future a sure thing, Anna and Lily would have walked off into the sunset together. Instead, they stand on shaky ground, their love threatened by Lily's stumble into alcoholism. Anna will fight to keep Lily forever, but this time, the fight isn't hers.

Love on Location :
By Lisa Girolami

Hollywood film producer Kate Nyland has it all, including her gorgeous movie star girlfriend, Hannah Corrant. Amid the excitement of shooting multimillion-dollar movies and being photographed by the ever-present paparazzi out to get a glimpse of Hannah, Kate is reminded continually that her life couldn't be better. That is, until she arrives in Florida to begin shooting her next film. There she meets Dawn Brock, a beautiful, deeply spiritual artist, who sets off sparks that Kate cannot allow to ignite. But just how can she quell the attraction that burns so intensely and the growing connection that seems impossibly unavoidable? And what will happen when Hannah arrives in town for the movie shoot? From behind-the-scenes rendezvous to center-stage passions, Kate discovers that love on location doesn't always follow the script.

By Gabrielle Goldsby
2007 Lambda Literary Award Winner

Includes Q&A with the authors and a book signing by authors KG MacGregor and Lisa Girolami following the performance.

I will be with four other wonderful Bold Strokes Books authors on a book reading/signing tour through Amsterdam, Antwerp and Brussels in September. All I can say right now is that there will be a lot of train rides, cool people, gracious bookstore owners and a to-be-determined birthday celebration (for Virgos Xenia and I) the planning of which, if I leave to Xenia's devices (read: incredibly talented imagination), I may regret.
