From 140-character teases to a novel-length peon to your perfect partner, you too can translate your sexy thoughts to text and not sound like someone other than you. Find your voice and use your words and thoughts to rev up your romance. No writing experience necessary! Your experience, desires and imagination are all you need – although a dictionary wouldn't hurt. Participants must bring something to write on – pen & paper or any device that can save text, as we will be crafting and reading in this class!

Many examples of her short fiction, articles, essays and rants can be found in the collection titled The Catalyst and Other Tales. In 2011, Laura won the prestigious John Preston Short Fiction Award from the National Leather Association for her short story, "That's Harsh," which appears in the e-book edition of The Slave. As a presenter, panelist, and keynote speaker, Laura has appeared at dozens of conferences over more than twenty-five years, both entertaining and delivering an occasional verbal indictment. She has also appeared at colleges and universities, including NYU, Rutgers, Columbia and the University of Washington. She received the NLA International's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. She is also the recipient of the 2011 "Worst Camper" award at Dark Odyssey:Fusion. Laura began her writing career in the 1980's, and edited the groundbreaking "Leatherwomen" anthologies, as well as several other collections of fiction and non-fiction. She has also written gay male erotica under many names; the novel Musclebound and a collection of short MM stories titled "Shop Stud" can be found at Renaissance E-books. In addition, she is the co-author (with her wife, Karen) of a ritually correct Leather Passover Seder, Avadim Chayanu (Once We Were Slaves.) Laura plans several more novels in the Marketplace series and is currently working on The Inheritor for publisher Circlet Press. She is also writing a comedy murder mystery set in the leather community, titled The Killer Wore Leather, and starting to once again edit short story anthologies.
