So, Rachel Kramer Bussel is allowing me to read at In The Flesh again.   Thanks, Rachel, I love reading at In The Flesh. I told Jeremy Edwards it was the most fun you could have with your pants on. Well, maybe it is and maybe it isn't, but, I'm just sayin'...it's fun.  

I'll be at The Happy Ending Lounge on Thursday, July 17th, 2008 at 8:00 p.m, reading a brand, spanking new story. "Does it have spanking in it?" I hear you ask. I'm not telling. You'll have to come out and see. What I will tell you is that it'll be in Alison Tyler's anthology, Frenzy, due out in November.

Come on out if you're in New York City on the big day and say hi. There'll be cupcakes and alcohol and plenty of hot smut. What more could you want? OK, OK, there might be potato chips too! Read the particulars here and see you there.

I was thrilled when Rachel Kramer Bussel asked me to read my erotica at her In The Flesh Reading Series.  “Sure Rachel, that’d be great.  Thanks!”  Wow.  Then I got nervous.  Then I went to the December reading at The Happy Ending Lounge and got a lot more nervous.  The authors who read were amazing and their stories were great.  Could I really do this without making a fool of myself?  Who cares?  This is New York; I’ll never see these people again—oh yeah, a bunch of my friends said they’d show up.  I guess I’ll see them again...

I had a great time that evening in December and that bolstered my confidence.  I’m ready.  I can do this.  So, if you’re going to be in New York City on Wednesday, February 21st, 2007 at 8:00 PM, come on over to 302 Broome Street in Manhattan and check it out.  There’ll be plenty of free candy and cupcakes, there’s a bar, and oh yeah, plenty of hot erotica!
