Boys Like Her: Transfictions (1998) with Ivan Coyote, Zoe Eakle, Lyndell Montgomery, and Taste This (Editor)
An adrenaline-rush road movie of young queer life and
transformation. First stop, the Canada-U.S. border, four young
queers in a borrowed car pulled over, notebooks, make-up, clothes,
and violin flung out on the concrete. The car is checked for drugs,
contraband, fruit-and declared clean, but they are indeed smuggling
dangerous goods. But what they're carrying can't be sniffed out,
pawed through, or seized. They're smuggling stories, poetry,
scripts; words they've sold in performance on stage. Felons, all of
them, they've memorized their act and now are speeding away from the
border, and definitely up to no good. In the world and truth of Boys
Like Her, stories have no hard and fast boundaries and transgression
is often the way to the most delightful of transformations.

Brazen Femme: Queering Femininity (2003) with
Chloë Brushwood Rose (Editor) -- Finalist 2002
Lambda Literary Awards for Transgender/Bisexual
Manifesto for the unrepentant bitch, straddling the furious and
fantastic. Celebratory and deeply troubling, this sharp-edged
collection (of fiction, prose poetry, personal essay, photographs,
and illustration) figures the un-hyphenated femme experience
emerging in performance, betrayal, violence, humour, and survival.
Brazen Femme recognizes femme as an identity in flux, and
unapologetically refuses explanations while bringing into view femme
identity through description, reflection, and interpretation.

I Am a Red Dress: Incantations on a Grandmother, a Mother and a Daughter (2004)
In this intimate and visceral exploration of love and
betrayal, memory and imagination figure not only as catalysts for
tremendous change, but as characters that propel a poetic journey
beyond loss and redress, to discovery.

Red Light: Superheroes, Saints, & Sluts (2004)
-- Finalist 2005
Lambda Literary Awards for Anthology
Explores the underbelly of female icons and re-imagines them as
blowing the whistle on the confines on femininity.
Tempestuous, sexy, and lyrical, this collection of stories, essays,
poems, and visual artworks, casts these powerful, conflicted icons
in the (red) light of a new day dawning.
