Her work, which has been nominated for several

in the anthologies And What Rough Beast, Mom - Candid moroirs by lesbians
about the first woman in their life, Hell's Kitchen - Slices of Life, and
the My Lover is A Woman anthology edited by Leslea Newman. Since Waters
began publishing electronically, her work can also be found on the Internet
at Conspire, Stirring, Samsara Quarterly, PoetryMagazine.com and the Astrophysicist's
Tango Partner Speaks, among others. Her personal web site is now available
