Free champagne & cupcakes, 4 authors & 4 hot off the press books!

Free champagne & cupcakes! Plus a fabulous segment of female writers writing about sex in different ways. You don't want to miss it, I promise! Please tell your Los Angeles friends if you can...here's a handy Facebook link. I put the Best Bondage Erotica 2011 cover because it's my favorite (and 2012 will be just as hot, out around my 36th birthday this November!), but Gotta Have It will also be for sale.

February 1, 7 pm
Join award-winning author and editor Rachel Kramer Bussel (Gotta Have It, Orgasmic) along with erotic romance novelist Eden Bradley (The Lovers), and memoir writers Pamela Madsen(Shameless) and Oriana Small, aka Ashley Blue (Girlvert) for a night of hot readings and free champagne and cupcakes in this beautiful setting!

and just for fun, me and Oriana last year at the West Hollywood Book Fair:

Sex, Romance, Champagne, Cupcakes! February 1st, Los Angeles, Coco de Mer reading!

I'm doing a mini West Coast tour, which hits Good Vibrations in Berkeley January 27th, Booksmith January 28th (with Violet Blue, rest of lineup TBA for both of these!) and February 1st in LA at Coco de Mer. Other events around my book Gotta Have It: 69 Stories of Sudden Sex are also in the works for a range of locations, from Minneapolis to the UK, but first I have to get through this crazy month. Feel free to tell your Facebook friends and grab this Flickr photo and let people know about this LA reading!



And our books...links below are to Amazon via my affiliate link, as are all Amazon links on this blog (Girlvert and Shameless will be out in January, you can pre-order), but I encourage you to buy this, of course, at Coco de Mer at our reading and get them signed, or any of your local bookstores. And don't forget, through December 31st, my publisher Cleis Press is having a 20% off sale!

I heart Coco de Mer

Yesterday I walked over to Coco de Mer in West Hollywood and was wowed by the gorgeous, gorgeous outside and inside. It is truly "erotic luxury" (its tagline). I signed copies of Yes, Sir and She's on Top, so you can get those there, and am looking into doing a reading in their beautiful garden. I snapped these photos:






I bought a greeting card and was given this giant purple penis shopping bag, a perfect gift for me!
