Yesterday, I was lucky enough to join Stoya and friends for her monthly book club, Sex Lit where we discussed my collection The Ortolan Hunters and Other Disturbing Tales. It was a fascinating conversation (at least for me as an author who loves hearing people dissect his writing) and as always, the group was friendly, kind, and engaged.
Stoya is an incredibly talented moderator with a unique perspective which greatly helps inform the conversation––we dove into issues around consent, genre, literature, horror, and disturbing and titillating sex scenes and how they make us feel.
Joining a book club feels like a rare chance as an author to hear people’s honest perspectives on your work, and I found it humbling and gratifying in equal amounts.
And, once it was done, Piper took me out for drinks before coming home and having super hot sex on the living room floor. So, all in all, it was a wonderful afternoon and evening.
This week, due to the holiday, is not going to be a highly productive one when it comes to writing, so I hope you won’t mind if I wait until next week to get back to sending out midnight letters. Ideally I’ll have some down time to percolate and dream up new and filthy things to write about.
And if not, at least I’ll drink some good punch, eat some turkey, and look at the ocean.
Thanks again for being here, for sharing your thoughts, and for being all around supportive and kind.
I’ll see you all next week!
That is awesome!! Can anyone join in? :)
