What is a munch?

I talk to a lot of people who are either new to the kink scene or are curious but not yet involved. The general wisdom, and common advice, given to newcomers is that they should attend a munch. This advice is sometimes questioned because a munch can be an intimidating first step, especially for people that are shy, introverted, or experience social anxiety. Recently I’ve felt my own reservations about this advice. I was talking…

Showing my work.

I did a couple of photoshoots nearly two weeks ago and I’ve been waiting for the results not too patiently ever since. I’m not the one who needs to do the culling and editing, so it’s hard not to expect instant gratification. Although modeling is closer to a hobby than part of the free-lance puzzle that is my job, I still get very excited whenever I’m asked to shoot. Seemingly unrelated, I went on a…

Let’s talk about fisting

Well, the Mystery Box Show performance has come and gone, and it was an amazing experience. I can’t remember the last time I was so nervous but once I stepped on stage it was sheer exhilaration. Now I’m wondering if I have any other stories up my sleeve so I can do it again! Did you miss the show? Not to worry! There’s a video you can watch right here:

Bound to please (NSFW)

As you may have noticed, I’m a sucker for a good photo or illustration, even more so when it’s of my work. So I couldn’t resist throwing my hat in the ring when I saw one of my favorite fetish artists was having a contest. Coax Dreams selected my story as one of the winners and now I have this lovely illustration to show for it! Bound to Please Casey was both honored and terrified…

For a good time, listen

I was fortunate enough to sit down with Dr. Dick two weeks in a row and we had an absolute blast together. We chatted about a wide range of topics and I read from some of my work. The first week, I read an excerpt from Well Played, my contribution to Strummed. The second week I read The Jeffry Factor, my contribution to The Big Book of Orgasms. Be sure to listen to both podcasts…

Chicks can do that?

As I was giving rope tastings at a recent event a woman said to me, “I didn’t know chicks could do that.” I was so floored, so confused, that I didn’t even respond. I had tied her up and she’d had a wonderful time. That was what mattered. And while her preconception (and her language) were problematic, at least my presence as the lone female rope top at the event made a difference. I’d like…

It’s a giveaway! Enter to win a copy of The Big Book of Orgasms

I’ve been honored to be included in a number of amazing books, but the acceptance to The Big Book of Orgasms gave me a special thrill. I’ve been a fan of Rachel Kramer Bussel since I first started dipping my toes in the erotica waters so getting to work with her really felt like one of those “I’ve made it” moments. You can read Rachel’s introduction and see the full table of contents on the…

Sneak peek

So, I hate to break it to you, but I’ve been keeping secrets. I’ve been working on a project that I’m very excited about and I wanted it to be a surprise, but the process is taking long enough that I thought I’d give you a little taste. The project went something like this: I wrote a dirty story, put together the Naughty Librarian’s Artists Salon, invited artists and models, and then read my story…

2014 Literary Pin-up Calendar

I’ve been lucky to be a part of many amazing projects but I’ve got to say, this might be the project I’m most excited about. I’ve been a fan of Lee Moyer’s work for a while and his 2013 literary pin-up calendar is hanging on my wall right now. When he asked me to be the cover girl for the 2014 calendar the offer seemed too good to be true. I couldn’t be happier with…

All the things!

I’ve been so busy doing all the things I haven’t had time to catch my breath and tell you about them. Here are some highlights: I attended CatalystCon West and had an amazing time. I spent a day in Tristan Taormino’s sex educator boot camp and came out energized and motivated to do more teaching. I attended lots of amazing panels and made new friends and professional contacts. I’m already looking forward to next year’s…
