13. What kind of awards have you won for your writing?
I won the all high school English award and I think I might have been a National Merit Scholar

In more recent memory, my short stories have been at least an honorable mention or finalist in award anthologies including Best American Erotica, Best Women's Erotica, Best S/M Erotica, Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, Best Lesbian Erotica, etc. I've written hundreds of journalism pieces for a huge roster of clients from glossy magazines to local newspapers to underground publications to of course web sites. So I know I'm leaving some recognitions out here, but this is what I thought of off the cuff.
