Lots of exciting events coming in the next few weeks to celebrate the release of my new novel Dommemoir on Sept. 23. Even if you’re not in Seattle or Salem, you can attend my author chat or listen to a radio interview online. Also, check out my updated website, including the Dommemoir cover and reviews. http://www.eroticawriter.net

In addition, I will release Pain of Love, a limited edition chapbook which includes a selection of my erotic poems, some of which have never been published or shared at a reading. Look for details at http://eroticawriter.net/poetry.htm. You can also link from there to “Your Collar,” currently available for your reading pleasure at Justus Roux’s Erotic Tales.

Meanwhile, be sure to mark your calendars so you won’t miss out on these fun, upcoming events:

1)    Friday, Sept. 18 through Sunday, Sept. 20 I’ll host the weekly Circlet Press Author Chat at http://community.livejournal.com/circletpress/. I’ll share details about writing and publishing and answer questions. Stop by any time during the weekend. Comments are also welcome. There will be contests with prizes, details TBA.

2)    On Wednesday, Sept. 23 come to the Center for Sex Positive Culture Annex in Seattle to celebrate the launch of the new imprint Fanny Press and my latest steamy novel, Dommemoir.

From 7 to 8:30 p.m., I will offer a special workshop on “How Do You Go From ‘I have an idea for…’ to ‘would you like to buy my book?” For those who have thought about sharing their ideas, fantasies, or experience with the world, this presentation will give an overview of the writing life. Participants will be able to ask questions specific to their own ambitions. Topics covered will include what does it takes to get published, getting paid to write, and the politics of publishing. (Cost: $10)

3)    From 8:30 to 10 p.m., I will read, answer questions, and sign autographs for those who would like to purchase the very first copies of Dommemoir.

4)    On Wednesday, Sept. 30, I will be the featured author on the worldwide premier episode of The Inkwell, an exciting, entertaining, and informative radio program dedicated to helping writers achieve success. The Inkwell is presented by The SpeakEasy Cafe open mic poetry radio show. Host Nyla Alisia will interview me along with Cecilia Tan and Paul Beidler on the subject of “So you write erotica, now what …” from 3:30 to 5:30 PDT. Tune in at: www.blogtalkradio.com/theinkwell

5)    On Wednesday, Oct. 7, from 5 to 8 p.m., Addictions Body Piercing & Tattoo at 176 Liberty St. SE in Salem will host the Oregon launch of Dommemoir. Stop by during Salem’s First Wednesday for erotic poetry readings; a drawing to win a signed, limited edition chapbook; and your first local opportunity to purchase a signed copy of Dommemoir.

Hope to see you soon.
