STONE BUTCH BLUES
DEDICATION for CECE McDONALD
I have taken back my author rights
to Stone Butch Blues.
I am working on plans for a
20th-anniversary author edition
of Stone Butch Blues
for Spring 2013
A digital multi-media edition will be
available free online.
A not-for-profit, at-cost print edition
will be available for order online,
as well.
During our visit in jail,
I asked CeCe McDonald

Stone Butch Blues to her.
I’m thrilled to announce:
She said “Yes!”
When I saw this attached photo
for the first time, it was clear to me,
that this is the dedication photograph!!
