Some various news from others

First, some disturbing news from San Francisco-based Suspect Thoughts Press:

Disabled Origami Striptease Author Peggy Munson Censored

for Explicit Erotic Content and for Appearing to be Straight



Last Thursday evening, our author Peggy Munson was to perform an excerpt from her Lambda Literary Award Finalist novel (Best Lesbian Debut Fiction), Origami Striptease via DVD at the annual San Francisco Lambda Literary Award Finalists’ reading. Peggy is disabled with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and cannot travel for readings...

Peggy’s DVD reading wasn’t shown, nor was anything mentioned as to why the scheduled Peggy Munson was not performing. She was simply not mentioned (though the screen and DVD were hooked up and ready to go)...

For the full story on the extremely heinous censorship issue, read the full press release here.

From NYC-based writer/poet Iris N. Schwartz:

I'm pleased to announce that the publisher (Pretty Things Press, 2003) of Down and Dirty: 69 Super Sexy Short-Shorts sold the German rights to this collection, which contains my story "Two Thumbs Up (The Perfect Date)."
