A few weeks back, I was thrilled to be a guest on the lovely August McLaughlin’s Girl Boner Radio. What does “girl boner” mean, you ask? Well, according to August it’s, “the recognition and embracement of female sexual pleasure.” I’m all for that! You can listen to our radio chat here, and make sure to tune … Continue reading
I was thrilled (AKA terrified!) to be asked to speak at the Montreal chapter of Creative Mornings in April. This awesome morning lecture series is hosted monthly in 82 cities worldwide, where creators muse on a common theme. Last month’s theme was Sex- you see the connection for Prude. I spoke to an amazing crowd … Continue reading
Barnstorm’s Sarah Earle recently interviewed me for their writer’s hotseat about all things porn and relationships. The full interview is now up on their blog. I’m flattered to be featured in this lovely UNH publication, especially since my mom is a University of New Hampshire, Master’s in Education grad. Yep. Word to my teacher mother. … Continue reading
The last two weeks have been characterized by a barrage of illness in my house. First came gastro, then the good old flu, followed by pink eye (which I thought was just a funny fecal matter joke from Knocked Up). Not so. I will never chuckle about the singular hell that is conjunctivitis again. But … Continue reading
I did a thought provoking interview with Shawn Alff from Creative Loafing Tampa last week. He asked great questions: Have I used porn to advance my career as much as Robbie has? Can a writer writing about her current relationship be trusted to tell all? His queries gave me ample pause. Thank goodness we weren’t … Continue reading
It was a surreal kick to see Prude covered on the Dec 4th episode of eTalk. Robbie and I made our appearance shortly after chick lit maven Helen Fielding, aka author of Bridget Jones. She may not be Alice Munro folks, but I’m down. Pretty stellar. You can watch the episode here in case you … Continue reading
A little chunk of Prude appeared on Refinery 29 over the American turkey weekend. Yet again, hubby is not thrilled by the caption: What I Learned When My Boyfriend Made Porn. “But I didn’t make porn! I filmed people making porn!! And I was your fiance. Jeez, get it straight guys.” Robbie has been taking a few … Continue reading
I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be doing a reading and interview with CBC’s Russell Bowers at Pages in Kensington, Calgary on December 30th. We’ll be upstairs at the bookstore, kicking off at 7:30pm. Come join our discussion of Prude on a winter’s eve. Because everyone knows that porn talk + the holidays = pure magic! Hope … Continue reading
It’s basically the best feeling ever to know that after countless hours of slogging away at the laptop in your questionable smelling pajamas with a bad case of morning sickness, now someone, somewhere out there is connecting with your book. Yup, it’s incredibly awesome. I just read two lovely reviews of Prude. One from Luxury Reading. … Continue reading
I had a fun interview with Sean Moncrieff last week. He asked me the tough questions: How would I feel about my hypothetical daughter filming porn one day? Hmmm. Have a listen to see how I fared in my hot debate across the pond. I come on at 38:45 of part 3. Oh, and we … Continue reading
