Hang Out with Erotica Writers in Philly!

I squealed in delight when I received the latest press release from Susana Mayer of the Erotica Literary Salon. Several published authors will be reading at the Salon this month, and the featured writer will be the great Rachel Kramer Bussel!

(Excuse me while I go into fangirl mode...)

Rachel is one of my favorite authors and editors. I have been fortunate to be included in many of her anthologies, and she is always fun, personable and one of the most professional in the erotica business. And would you believe in all these years of submitting stories to her anthologies, I have never once heard her read a short story?

It's time to remedy that!

If you're in or near Philly and looking for a kick-ass way to spice up your Tuesday night, this is it. I'm going to be there, and so are a ton of other writers, and did I mention...Rachel Kramer Bussel? (squeeee!)

Here are the details:

The Erotic Literary Salon
Where: TIME (The Bohemian Absinthe Lounge), 1315 Sansom Street, Center City, Philadelphia
When: Tuesday, October 16, 2012. The readings begin at 8 PM, but the doors open at 6:30. Seating is limited, so get there early!
How much: Admission is $10 per person, but there are discounts for students and seniors.
You must be 21 or older to attend!

And here's the press release.

I will see you there!

Things Were Hot in Philly...

I had an absolute blast at the Erotic Literary Salon last week!

If you have never attended one of these events, you simply owe it to yourself to enjoy a night of steamy, sexy fun. There were virgins (literally and figuratively!), performance artists, newbies and experts. There were groups of people ready to get it on and just as many who were shy and reserved. There were cool words and cold drinks and hot sweat and warm bodies and sizzling words and such sexiness in every corner that I didn't want to leave -- I wanted to stay and soak up the atmosphere for as long as I could.

Unfortunately, I did have to go -- but I will be back!


Here's the information on this must-see event in downtown Philadelphia.

And by the way -- Happy Birthday, Sam!

Got plans for next week?

If you're not doing anything in particular on Tuesday night, July 17, why not come spend it with me?

On July 17 I will be returning to the Erotic Literary Salon in beautiful Philadelphia. I can't wait! It will be a night of hot erotic readings, discussions about sexy things and an introduction to amazingly talented writers. The room will come alive with sensual energy, and you will be so glad you decided to turn your Tuesday night into something special.

There will also be a special treat from beloved Frances, a regular reader at the Salon. This lovely lady -- 95 years young! -- will read the hilarious Go the Fok to Sleep by Adam Mansbach. I had the great pleasure of seeing her read this last summer, and it was one of the most enjoyable readings I have ever seen!

The Erotic Literary Salon

This summer I had the wonderful opportunity to read a few short stories at The Erotic Literary Salon in Philadelphia. The beautiful Susana Mayer was the hostess for a night that included a lovely burlesque dancer, several exceptional readers and a launch party for A Week in the Snow.

I can't say enough good things about Susana. She is a very open and compassionate hostess, filled with true joy in the work she does with the Salon. Her enthusiasm is contagious and drew me in immediately. Within five minutes of meeting her I felt as though she were an old friend.

The Salon was held in the Bohemian Absinthe Lounge, the sexy upstairs area of TIME Restaurant off Samson Street in Philly. Dinner at TIME was delightful and highly recommended, but upstairs was where the action really got into full swing.

That reading turned out to be one of the best in my career. I had so much fun! The energy in the room was alive, vivid and fluid. The readers were all passionate about their words. Those who came to listen really did listen -- I remember well the feeling of being completely in the moment, sharing something delightful with a room full of people who were truly paying attention.

My reading came near the end of the Salon evening, so for much of the time I was one of those who sat back and listened. What a ride it was! There were tales that made me want to cry, and those that made me laugh out loud. The mood swung from serious and somber to raucous and fun. It was a rollercoaster ride of a night that hooked me from the first five minutes and made me want to do it again.

If you happen to be near the City of Brotherly Love and you need something to get your juices flowing -- in every way you can imagine -- then this is the place to be.

Tomorrow night is another hot evening at the Salon. If you're in the Philly area, why not go and enjoy? For more information, take a look at The Erotic Literary Salon website.

Join me in Philadelphia!

Would you enjoy a night of erotic reading? Would you like those delicious words that make your heart race and bring that blush of heat to your cheeks? Would you enjoy the intensity of sexual expression that a room full of naughty minds can provide?

I would love that too, and that's why I am reading at the Erotic Literary Salon in Philadelphia on Tuesday, June 21 at 8 PM.

There will be naughty readings. Cocktails. Lively conversation. The gorgeous Infamous Miss Mae. And the pre-release party for A Week in the Snow!

It's my first live appearance in quite some time, and I am excited! Get the details here, and I hope to see you there.
