More About the Author
I'm a writer, editor, and blogger - basically, I do a little bit of everything, from erotic fiction to book reviews to conducting interviews to writing articles and essays. I got started writing erotica while attending law school (which I left to pursue my writing), and my first story, "Monica and Me" was published in an anthology called Starf* cker, edited by Shar Rednour. Since then, I've gone on to pen dozens of stories, which are published or slated to be published in over 100 anthologies, including Best American Erotica 2004 and 2006 and Best Women's Erotica 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007.
NOTE: You can see the real, full titles below, but Amazon will not let me put in the word "s e x" spelled out, so I've had to improvise, even though it IS in the title of some of my books!
I've edited over 20 anthologies, most recently Tasting Him, Tasting Her, Spanked, Rubber S-x, Dirty Girls, Best S-x Writing 2008, Yes, Sir, Yes, Ma'am, Crossdressing, and more.
I used to write the Lusty Lady column for The Village Voice and now write about relationships, books, and pop culture for a variety of publications. I conduct interviews for Gothamist.com, where I've interviewed various artists, authors, and other interesting folks including Augusten Burroughs, Jessica Coen, Clare Crespo, Eve Ensler, Christian Finnegan, Nadine Haobsh, Molly Jong-Fast, Anya Kamenetz, Stephanie Lessing, Susan Polgar, Julie Powell, M.J. Rose, Susan Shapiro, Tucker Shaw, John Stossel, Tristan Taormino, Ned Vizzini, Jeannette Walls, and Koren Zailckas, Victoria Zdrok, and Mediabistro.com, where I conduct the "From the Editors" series and have done 3 Citizen Media Critic essays, on the magazines Lucky, his and hers, and Violet. I have also written for various publications, including Alternative Press, AVN, The Black Table, Bust, Cleansheets.com, Curve, Diva, Girlfriends, Metro, New York Post, Penthouse, Penthouse Forum, Playgirl, Rockrgrl, On Our Backs, Oxygen.com, The San Francisco Chronicle, Time Out New York and Zink. I've been interviewed by Bookmouth, Lippy Imp, New York magazine, Playboy's Night Calls, and Suicide Girls, and have appeared on The Derek and Romaine Show, The Joey Reynolds Show, KS E X Radio, Showtime's Family Business, and The Berman and Berman Show.
I host a monthly erotic reading series called In The Flesh (http://inthefleshreadingseries.blogspot.com) every 3rd Thursday of the month at a bar called Happy Ending. We've had some amazing readers, including Jessica Cutler, Maxim Jakubowski, Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Tsaurah Litzky, M.J. Rose, Danyel Smith, Carol Taylor, Zane and others.
