Read Tara's journal as she dives headlong into escorting after a lengthy stripping career. The book begins in a little cabin in the wilderness where the author has run out of money and ends thousands of miles away with a stack of money and thoughtful, weird, and awesome sex stories.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a prostitute or call girl? These true stories of escort sexcapades are as thoughtfully crafted as they were experienced.

Praise for Tara Burn's writing:

"...it's like Steinbeck in a g-string." - Mac

"...a sort of feminist Jack Kerouac but with better writing." - Telfair

"...Susan Weed and Charles Bukowski's love child." - Grace

Editorial Reviews

Review

"You will not find too may books out there with the line, "The strip club is the perfect ethical arena for neurolinguistic programming." That sentence is one of many unexpected moments that will make you rethink typical media images of those involved in sex work. In fact, there are too many "best lines" in this book, which is a good thing for any reader, like this gem: "I'm starving, so I take a big swig of the wine that I got in my attempt at an upscale image, forgetting that preacher men don't drink with whores."

This book details the narrator's honest reactions to her clients. She labors to find what makes them tick and how to reach what motivates their need for her. What is striking is her compassion for the majority of them. Also interesting is her reaction to her co-workers: she too is curious, reassured by them and at times just as fascinated by them as we are.

The narrator is as much business woman as she is New Age Goddess. Her involvement in escort work is as much about self-determination as it is about meeting practical needs, like the costs of her home and her caretaking of another.
Apart from the content, the style of the writing is compelling enough to make you read the book in one sitting and then read it again." - Jennifer Burke, Author

"Tara Burns gets right to the raw truth of the matter, capturing the humanity of her coworkers and clients without making caricatures of them like so many writers do. She speaks about sex work in a real, honest way and it's refreshing. My only complaint is that the book is too short!" - A. Porter

Decent writing, sufficiently interesting

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 22, 2012

I have followed Tara through her online writings for some time, and jumped at the chance to get this book as well. It is well worth reading, but keep the title in mind . . . it is only the writing of two weeks. It is a very short read with very little back story.

While it is worth a dollar (and it wouldn't be practical to make it cost less), for the same amount you can probably get a lot more reading. However if you are interested in Tara and have read her online work, it is well worth it for a brief glimpse into a real part of her life.

A Privilege to Read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2013

Tara Burns shares more deeply personal, never-before-heard stories in forty-eight pages than you read in most books three or four or five times longer. Her voice hovers like an all-seeing-eye in the cold parts up above and outside of the lower 48, unique because it's under-represented (but also UNDER EXISTS / is truly exceptional in so many ways and very different from the facile, heard-it-before stories Hollywood and New York City churn out), and profoundly grounded in the wilds of nature (contrasted with her sojourns into cities and suburbs and wilderness intersecting with "civilization") plus the duality of her striking individuality and independence, and the depths of her connections to others.

I don't see any more editing problems with this book than I do with almost every other self-published ebook regardless of genre. A few raw edges combined with the wide scope of thought/life/spirit adventures should signal everybody who takes this intense peek into just a few of the journeys Tara Burns has been (and in some cases is still) on should fill you with gratitude and awe upon discovering a treasure and being excited to look forward to more.

Sex work is just a handful of many MANY reasons to be fascinated and inspired by this book and the rest of Tara's stories. Having the good fortune to be familiar with more of the stories than are represented in this taste of two weeks of her life, it's hard for me to separate these pages from the textured patchwork quilt covering miles and miles and miles of her inner life and travels. I would consider this book to be a couple of patches in that ginormous (and still expanding) one-of-a-kind quilt. Tara Burns tucks you into her stories -- stories I believe she takes incredible risks to share, making them all-the-more valuable -- and shapeshifts between the fool innocently setting out on her journey, the wise crone, and other archetypes embodied in ways we don't see often enough in mainstream media to show us all kinds of beauty, confusion, and searing insights.

If you skip reading this book or any books of hers that may follow, you'll miss out BIG TIME! Nobody else can write Tara Burns' stories, partly because of all and where she comes from and dares, but mostly because they don't have her heart or smarts. Few people do. Nobody else can tell you these stories. Nobody else has lived them in Tara's configuration (yet she humanizes and fleshes out so many experiences -- like whoring -- so many people share).

Anything Tara Burns writes from her life with her worldview is a rare gift.

no real story to be told - needs editing help

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 26, 2013

I got this from Amazon as a free book, and being a sucker for biographies/memoirs of all kinds I tried it out. I don't recommend that you do the same.

The book is mercifully short -- it's intended as a teaser for a larger book -- but also underwhelming. The writing is awkward and her stories are confusing. She attempts to give people fake names (to protect them) but then sometimes must use either their real names or a different fake name -- so suddenly, she's in a room with one other person but that person will go by 3 different names. It's confusing and honestly not worth trying to keep up with.

Also, the author assumes that you understand her background and personal story so she casually drops in 'oh yeah, and I was taking care of my mother who is unable to stand or walk' as if you were expected to know that and also NOT feel indignant when she leaves her mother alone in a grocery store for hours while prostituting herself. Another assumption is that the reader has any idea how the sex industry works. She mentions that she and other 'escorts' have a driver and use hotel rooms to meet men, where they have sex on-the-hour for 8-10 hours a day to make money, but there is no explanation as to how this works. Not that I need all the "secret details" but it is otherwise confusing when she's suddenly texting people and being upset about receiving text messages from 'clients' when the appointment was set up by other people.

Ultimately, I think the author wants people to read this book and accept her credentials (she includes one sentence about how she's a psychologist) and see that she's doing this as an experiment and also because she's horny and NOT because she lives in the woods and needs money to care for her infirm mother. Which would be fine, except the book is really just stories (as much as she can remember) about having sex with men for money and she throws in a couple of 'fetish' types of stories to amuse the average reader (although they are extremely mild; one guy just wants to look at her feet through a video camera).

In my opinion, the sex stories aren't worth telling. She'd be better off talking about the sex business, the industry, the psychology behind it, and her personal life struggles (her mom, finances, etc.). As is, this book needs SEVERE editing, including grammar and composition - as well as story editing.

While this flat bumbling account is extensive, its basic structure gives the impression a 12 yr old wrote this. Author is too basic and plain personality dont write anymore ***boring af***

Realista, triste e esquisito

Reviewed in Brazil 🇧🇷 on March 20, 2016

A leitura é super rápida, mas alguns detalhes sobre a vida sexual dos clientes e das prostitutas me pareceram... quase repugnantes.

Há muitos diálogos sendo repetidos ad nauseaum nas primeiras páginas, mas se você "sobreviver" a esta parte pode se entreter com o resto do livro.

Recomendo àqueles que querem uma leitura rápida e realista sobre a vida de uma prostituta no Canadá. Mas não é uma leitura excitante. Se é isso que está procurando, não leia este livro.

The narrative felt like reading a thread of text messages. Some deep thoughts in there that kept me from not giving up though. Could have done better.
