Best Sex Writing 2012 praise, sex diary, iPhone essay and photos

A few things to share (though for faster linkage, try my Facebook fan page, and yes I know that sounds pretentious, sorry, or add me Google+).

I wrote an essay for Open Salon called "My iPhone Photos (all 5,000 of Them), Myself" along with some of those photos, like this one:

My naked bubble bath book trailer for Fast Girls: Erotica for Women (click to watch) was book trailer of the day at the most excellent publishing industry newsletter Shelf Awareness - thanks!

I'm finishing up my first novel Everything But for Harlequin Spice - it's harder than law school (which, yes, I dropped out of) and, frankly, I don't think I'm cut out to be a novelist, but I will be - details when I have them, first I need to get it approved.

I want to read graphic memoir Forget Sorrow by Belle Yang:



I'm also looking forward to reading Driven to Ink, the third tattoo mystery from Karen E. Olson:



And I'm not a Republican, but I did pre-order Dirty Sexy Politics by Meghan McCain, to be published next week.
