I’m back in Montana after a whirlwind trip to New York City to promote Watching Porn! I’m now recovering from my trip while also preparing two new articles, preparing for several interviews with some amazing publications, and completing a few other projects. Here’s the latest [...continue...]

Me signing at the Strand (with Cindy Gallop in the background being a badass). Photo taken by (badass) Lisa Vandever. Well. It’s happened. My book has been unleashed on the world! Watching Porn has been getting attention from all over the place, from radio shows to live events to the pages [...continue...]

Holy. Freaking. Crap. I think I’m dead. My book is hitting shelves like right now (preorders at bookstores are in and a few stores are selling them already), and it just got named to a list of “10 Buzzworthy Books from Memoirists and Essayists” by Kirkus Reviews. Rad on its own, [...continue...]

Look what I got in the mail today! That’s right! My very own, personal, signed copy of Girl Sex 101, “a sex-ed book like no other, offering helpful info for ladies and lady-lovers of all genders and identities, playful and informative illustrations on each page,” and segmentns [...continue...]

The awards ceremony, which offered snacks, booze, [...continue...]

Wow, guys. Wow. The trek to Canada has been really… something. It was a beautiful drive through rural New York yesterday and across many lakes and rivers into the Maple Leaf country. But there have been some hiccups. First we got stuck behind the ONLY person crossing the Canadian border to [...continue...]

You know, I’m just a late kind of person. I rush out of the house at the last minute, bitch and moan the whole way to wherever I’m going about the public transportation system so I can blame my tardiness on it instead of me, get lost when I surface, and am generally miserable at showing [...continue...]

I got to watch this hottness unfold last night at Cinekink. What did you do? Oh my gosh, I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself after Cinekink is over, you guys. I mean, obviously I’m going to write a wrap-up article for the whole week of kinky festivities for WHACK! [...continue...]
