I don't expect much blog traffic here. Mainly, I keep a Livejournal so that Trifle can put me on her friends list and I can read all the secure entries making fun of her students. (Really, it's a tragedy that the "Susan B." poem isn't open to public consumption. Trifle, if you're listening, I think you had the next Seamus Heaney on your hands!)
If you want the real goods, visit my website at Damned Scribbling Women.
And yet, because I recently e-stalked some Livejournals belonging to friends from Brown, I feel it necessary to explain the name. That's right. "Kate Diamond" isn't my real name. It's the psuedonym I'll use when I publish trashy, sex-laden romance novels. Why publish under an assumed identity? Rest assured, it's not shame. It's just that my writing career will neatly coincide with my teaching career--and I certainly don't want some zealous Republican parent accusing me of teaching a sex-crazed version of Huck Finn.
Those of you who know me can deduce the derivation of the first name. As for the last, "Diamond" is my grandmother's maiden name, and sounds sufficiently romance-esque. It was either that or my porn-star name (first pet + street where I grew up). Somehow, though, I didn't want any work I've done to be published under the moniker "Ninny Yorkshire."
