Okay, so I do Back Fence PDX with Miss Frayn. And her boyfriend, Mr. Kevin Sampsell is a good pal of mine and asked me to do Booty Call, As Dirty as We Wanna Be, on July 13th. It is a reading with Steve Almond, who wrote Candy Freak (one of my favorite books of all time), Jami Attenberg who wrote The Kept Man, another awesome novel, and Zach Plague, who I don’t know but he seems like a cool guy. And we’re all reading dirrrty stories. But, instead of reading a story, I’m thinking of telling a story because that would be more interesting to me as an audience member, (sorry to all of you readers out there, but I do have a storytelling series) and the story will be fictionalized, like a creative non-fiction sort of situation, about my sex life. Because I HATE SEX. AND GIVING BLOW JOBS. AND I’M NOT SLUT. AND I’VE NEVER HAD SEX BEFORE. Well, you know that already.

So, instead of listing the books we’ve written, the poster will have a little sexy description of each of us. For me, Kevin suggested Melissa Lion, MILF Pinup Model. And I like the MILF part, for sure, the pinup model part I don’t love. So I need you all to help me come up with a title. I have no idea. I’m just relying on you guys to help. Melissa Lion – ???

And, speaking of sex, check me out in Bookslut today. Really, please do, because the book I reviewed really made me wonder what is up with everyone wanting/doing/writing about anal sex lately. Is this what the young people are into these days? I had no idea. I have no opinion on it, but I’m just saying, “what will they think of next!”

And here’s a little inspiration for you.
