Issue 15 Guest Editor:

Kathleen Bryson

Kathleen Bryson is a novelist/actor/painter who was born and raised in Alaska. Her first novel Mush (Alaska, wilderness, lesbian threesomes, fairy tales) was published by Diva Books in 2001. Her second and third novels, Girl on a Stick (religious visions, Catholicism, heterosexuality, Americans, rebus puzzles) and He's Lucid (futurist satire, saints, snow, global warming), will be published by Suspect Thoughts Press in 2007 and 2008, respectively. She also has a fourth, more mainstream novel on the market, a book of wicked, smart chick-lit called The Matchbox. It's based on 12 separate fairy tales and is currently with her agent: Laura Morris of the Laura Morris Literary Agency in London.

Kathleen's short stories were on display in the Lambda award-winning anthologies Necrologue: The Diva Book of the Undead and The Diva Book of Short Stories (both edited by Helen Sandler). Kathleen's short story "The Auto-Cannibal" in the former was also nominated for a Gaylactic Spectrum Award for Science Fiction in 2004.

After Diva Books published Kathleen's first novel in 2001, she pestered them for copy editing work and eventually started freelancing in the fiction department of the Millivres Prowler Group (the parent company). She scratched her way up to Senior Commissioning Editor of fiction and, ultimately, by the autumn of 2003, Books Publisher of MPG, Europe's largest gay and lesbian company (and smallest publishing company, with a staff of exactly one). In 2004 the Books Department of MPG received the first-ever Lambda Literary Award for Best Independent Publisher of the Year.

In spring of 2005, Kathleen finally entered post-production for The Viva Voce Virus, a no-budget feature film for which she wrote the screenplay and which she co-directed. An artsy, dark surreal thriller/satire, it should be in festivals in early 2006.

Kathleen has been living in London for the last 10 years, and recently moved back to the Pacific Northwest. Check out her website and buy her books in independent bookshops.
