Another fabulous night!

THANK YOU to everyone who came and packed Happy Ending for a really amazing In The Flesh. We will have photos and video of me, Michelle Herrera Mulligan, and Elisha Miranda coming soon. Everyone did an amazing job and while I was cursing myself for bringing too much stuff as one of my three Duane Reade bags broke on my way to hail a taxi, it was worth it. Thanks also to FreeNYC, NYRemezcla, and New York magazine for listing it. September 20th is BEST OF night. You don't want to miss it. I'll be reading my kinky gym story "Make Me," and in October, at Virgin Night, I'll be reading "A First Time for Everything," this very, very dirty (but of course) bukkake story. If you don't know what that is, look it up, and know that you're in good company along with the protagonist of Warren Ellis's novel Crooked Little Vein (it's a small but amusing plot point).
