My LJ policies - no anonymous postings and no trolling.
Apart from that, I don't have an official friending policy. Feel free to introduce yourself and say hi.

In my copious free time, I write both nonfiction and fiction. I have had two short story collections of lesbian erotica published to date: Night's Kiss (Lethe Press, 2009) and Crave: Tales of Lust, Love and Longing (Lethe Press, 2007). In addition, I'm the editor of Haunted Hearths and Sapphic Shades: Lesbian Ghost Stories (Lethe Press, 2008)
My short fiction, erotic and otherwise has appeared or is forthcoming in some 70 publications including various volumes of Best Lesbian Erotica and Best New Erotica as well as So Fey: Queer Faery Fictions, Farrago's Wainscot, Tales of the Unanticipated , Simulacrum, Zowie! It's Yaoi! and various others. And, almost inevitably, I've got a couple of novels in progress.
My nonfiction has appeared in a variety of newspapers and websites and in Women in Science Fiction and Fantasy: An Encyclopedia (Greenwood Press, 2008).
When I'm not writing, I test computer software, attend (and volunteer at) community arts and political events and hang out with my friends and my wife (at least in Iowa). I occasionally teach writing classes at various venues and I do a lot of programming at science fiction conventions.
