The Last Word

Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the ongoing conversation about the NoirCon painting of me. That was my intention from the beginning, to encourage dialog about the default sexual stereotypes in our genre and ask people to think before perpetuating them, ironically or otherwise

I never took that you vilified anyone involved with NoirCon. I totally took what you did as a dialog. Good on you for speaking up, speaking out, and driving on. Just more evidence of why I'm a fan of yours.

Wow. I had seen you make some tweets about this but hadn't yet seen the cover. I just went and looked and I would have been offended too. Good on you for speaking up and encouraging others to do so as well. Hopefully someday women will be seen as something more than either bitchy or victims.
