Peg Kerr's Journal

I got a very nice surprise when Lawrence Schimel (desayunoencama) popped up on my friends list, and I'd like to introduce him and welcome him to LiveJournal (he's just started, so give him lots of encouragement). I became aware of Lawrence's work when I received a promotional copy of a book he edited, Things Invisible to See: Gay and Lesbian Tales of Magic Realism, which I certainly enjoyed. Lawrence has many other books, short stories, essays and poems to his publishing credit, and then I was fortunate enough to meet him at a con (was it World Fantasy? Can't remember) where he certainly impressed me very much with his thoughtful and authoritative contribution to a panel he was on concerning trends in gay genre publishing. Make him feel welcome, people. He's somebody worth knowing.
