Announcement
-From Claudia Wilde

Nuance Books, an imprint of the Bedazzled Ink Publishing Company would like to introduce their next anthology project.

Toe to Toe: Standing Tall and Proud
An Anthology of stories dedicated to women who overcome adversity, jump over major hurdles, beat the odds, stand for what they believe in . . . About women whose stories inspire all of us to be strong and confident as we make our way in this crazy world.
The protagonist must be a lesbian or a woman of unknown sexuality-in other words, no heterosexual references for the protagonist. The story must be character-driven, well-written, and well-plotted. The style can be literary or genre. We're not interested in horror, erotica, strong sexual situations, over-used profanity, or extreme violence.

Length: up to 8,000 words

Payment: $0.01 a word, plus a copy of the anthology.

Unpublished stories, reprints, and short excerpts from novels that stand on their own are welcome.

Deadline: November 23, 2007

We look forward to your submissions.

-from Blayne Cooper

Years ago, Lorna Malachi, a frightened teenager, was plunged into a nightmare called Blue Ridge Women's Correctional Facility. Terrified and desperate to belong, she sold her soul one piece at a time. She survived to sit atop the ever-shifting trash heap of prison society.

Lorna has learned the hard way not to trust anyone, particularly penal system virgins like Kellie Holloway, her unrepentant new cellmate. But Kellie's pride and cluelessness guarantee that without help, she won't last long.

Together, Kellie and Lorna navigate through an oppressive, hidden world where the lines between right and wrong blur, sexual passion is forbidden but explosive, and love is the biggest risk of all.

Announcement
-from Renée O'Connor

WOW! After feeling a strange mix of emotions, from a sense of loss of putting the little film out on its own, to wondering just who will show up to buy it . . . I feel a great sense of relief! You ARE all so amazing, and generous. I never thought anyone would want more than two copies tops, and a couple of you greatly surprised me. You know who you are! And you inspired me to start a raffle. After each month, I will put the names of those who bought a copy into a hat, then draw a name to offer up a prize. It will probably be a form of my artwork! I have until December to sell all of the "Limited Edition,” which is going straight to the Talent, meaning everyone from the Writer to the Composer. Starting this month, in September, I will hold the drawing at the end of the month, up until December. If you have bought more than one, your name goes in for as many DVDs as you bought. I hope this sounds like fun! I was inspired!
Thanks again.
Renee
