Readers have included Laura Antoniou, Mo Beasley, Susie Bright, Lily Burana, Jessica Cutler, Stephen Elliott, Martha Garvey, Gael Greene, Andy Horwitz, Debra Hyde, Maxim Jakubowski, Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Tsaurah Litzky, Suzanne Portnoy, Sofia Quintero, M.J.

In The Flesh in the press

In The Flesh has been getting some good buzz lately - major thanks to The L Magazine for plugging it under "Lust" in their Decadence issue and New York magazine in this week's roundup of barroom readings. To clarify - Amanda Stern's Happy Ending Reading Series is different from In The Flesh. Hers is every 2nd and 4th Wednesday and literary/musical, mine is the 3rd Wednessday of the month and erotic. Both are at Happy Ending Lounge.

Next up is True Sex Confessions Night on April 19th with me, Dan Allen, Jessica Cutler, Miriam Datskovsky, Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Judy McGuire, Audacia Ray and Felicia Sullivan. It's at 8 pm and is free and there'll be free candy and book giveaways. If you want a handy postcard to remind you about the next few dates, just email me at rachelkb at gmail.com with your mailing address or Ill have them on me when I'm out and about.
