Alicia E. Goranson scribbles words in the Franklin Public Library and somehow they show up in print. She makes desserts to give away as gifts and not eat herself. She gives fake answers to telemarketer while prefacing each with "I am about to tell a lie." She has a book  called "Supervillainz" - that's with a "Z" at the end - that was a Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. And it tied with Peggy Munson's book "Origami Striptease" for the first Project QueerLit award. Even Patrick Califia recommends it. She drinks Smirnoff Electric Lemonade if you want to buy her some after the show. Now she's got some smut for you all.

Anna Watson is an old school femme living in a new school world who usually shows up tardy with truant officers on her heels. Her  contribution to the revolution is to write and publish as much about 
femme/butch sexuality as possible.

Isa Coffey has been teaching sexuality workshops and courses for teens, women and men since the first plastic speculum began being used as a breathtaking, disconcerting and audacious tool for discovering the roots of female sexuality. She has them on sale here, $5 a speculum!  Since the mighty plastic speculum got Isa from there to here,just imagine where it might take you! 

Peggy Munson is the author of the Project Queerlit winning, Lambda  finalist, censored-in-San-Francisco novel Origami Striptease, and has been called by Bay Windows "a master of the written word."  Her first  book of poetry, Pathogenesis, is forthcoming in February 2008 from  Switchback Books.  She has published in every edition of Best Lesbian  Erotica since 1998, as well as in numerous other erotica publications  such as Best American Erotica 2006 and 2007.  Peggy also writes about  disability issues and is reading by DVD due to her disabilities,  Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Multiple  Chemical Sensitivities.  More about Peggy can be found at  www.peggymunson.com
