So my book The Adventures of Holly White and the Incredible Sex Machine will be published on the 22nd April.
I have a book launch in Qld on the 30th April at Avid Reader (in conversation with John Birmingham)
Sydney: Book launch May 4th at Better Read than Dead with Benjamin Law
Qld: May 7th at Riverbend Bookshop in conversation with Ashley Hay about reading and writing erotic literature
Melbourne: May 14th at Readings Carlton with Christos Tsiolkas
Tonight I will be doing a pre-record with Radio National's Paul Barclay for Big Ideas talking about Reading Pornography in a post 50 Shades of Grey world and on April 9th I will be on Richard Fidler's Conversation Hour talking about pornography and my work and also poetry.
The Adventures of Holly White and the Incredible Sex Machine is a big crazy sex romp and I had to read an awful lot of porn to be able to write it.
Holly White finds her sexual power through reading the
erotic classics. This is something that she and I share. I owe a debt of
gratitude to those who have boldly gone before me, leaving a trail of crumbs
for me to feast on as I picked my way out of the woods and towards to the
completion of this book. The books I devoured in order to produce this book
include the ones referenced within. These are…

Ooh, I hope to make it to your Melbourne event in May. If you see an RSVP link for it, will you share it, please?
Thanks for everything, and have a lovely day! :-)
How exciting! I started reading your bog after the last years Emerging writers fest, when you where chatting about this book you were working on.
I'll be looking for it!
Readings haven't got it on the website yet but I think you can probably call them and make a booking. Here is the Text list of events so far. I will also be at the Sydney Writers Festival in mid may
