If I'm gonna be the poster girl for sluts, I want credit, damnit!

I have no idea who made me famous on PostRejects, but I did want to point out that the photo (in its original form below) is by Stacie Joy and was taken at the video shoot for the Do Not Disturb: Hotel Sex Stories book trailer shoot. The video is below. We're shooting book trailers for Please, Sir: Erotic Stories of Female Submission (the book with the crazy hot book cover that I'm getting postcards and (a first for me) buttons for and will be giving away at Book Expo America!) and Fast Girls: Erotica for Women.

We're at over 90,000 views on the trailer, woo-hoo! I get my next royalty statement next month so I'll see how it's doing, I think pretty well. It's always a crapshoot (for instance, nobody's bought Rubber Sex) but I try to learn what works and what doesn't. I have a great feeling about all the books coming out this year...you know, all 9 of them. And this will be the year I learn to stop trying to publish so much and start working smarter, not just more, and focus in so I'm not thought of as the girl who will "write for everyone." A friend said that recently and she's right. I've written for free or cheap, to my detriment, and I need to learn to harness and focus that energy. Baby steps, baby steps. I'll still invest in myself with postcards and videos because, maybe it's just in my head, but I do think it's building toward something bigger, toward something so that someday I bring in the money I deserve from these books.

More outtakes from the Do Not Disturb book trailer shoot

More Do Not Disturb: Hotel Sex Stories book trailer photos, many, many more (a total of 113), all by the shoot's official still photographer, Stacie Joy. It's a guest pass. Mostly safe for work but there's one where you can see my boobs so if you don't want to see my boobs or various makeout sessions or the beta fish or lightup glass dildo, don't click through.

Here are a few of my favorite shots:




Laughing in between making out with Audacia Ray




The elevator makeout session, before it came to an abrupt halt

And this is my absolute favorite cause it perfectly captures how I felt at the end:

Cupcake magazine happiness

Stacie Joy took this of me the other night; my friend Spencer gave it to me the other night at In The Flesh, right before it hit newsstands. You can hear more about it on Wednesday on The Martha Stewart Show (we were lucky enough to be in the audience, but they didn't give us the magazine!).

Speaking of Stacie, she never ever lets me or pretty much anyone take her photo, so I was thrilled when she sent me this shot by Andrew Foster and said I could share it. She's one of my closest friends and one of the kindest, smartest, and funnest people I know!

Party prettiness

In a word, last night's Cupcakes Take the Cake party rocked. If you missed it, you missed a lot of cupcakes, an insane amount of raffle prizes, a super-packed White Rabbit, me having a drink, and much merriment. Seriously, it was awesome. Huge props to Nichelle Stephens for planning and promoting the whole thing in two weeks! DIY PR all the way - we got listed in Serious Eats, Grub Street, Time Out New York, and, yes, the fantabulous New York Times' UrbanEye newsletter. Join our Meetup group to find out what's happening next.

My cupcake of the day yesterday was an amazing Elvis cupcake (banana cake topped with peanut butter frosting and BACON!). Photos by Stacie Joy.

Sex blogger calendar teaser

(I'm not really a sex blogger, as I'm sure you can tell, but they let me pose anyway.) I'll give you a hint about my real photo: it's after I've gotten spanked by Sinclair (pictured above).
