I see you shiver with antici...

...pation!

Hello again,

I’m so excited to share that this ​Tuesday is the ​p​ub​ day for Absolute Pleasure: Queer Perspectives on Rocky Horror. ​G​et your copy here! (Or tell your local library or bookstore you want them to carry it!) 

This is extra special for me because it’s the first time an essay of mine will be published in a book by a press. I’ve had work in literary magazines, online publications, and even an anthology of Lambda Literary fellows work​, but this milestone means a whole lot to me. I can’t wait to share it with you all​!

The book tour is going all over, but I’d love to see my New York locals at one (or all!) of these: 

  • 9/18 - Launch Party at 3 Dollar Bill in Brooklyn

  • 9/21 - Brooklyn Book Fest (I’ll be signing at the Feminist Press Booth ~4:30pm!)

  • 9/29 - World Transsexual Forum (I’ll be reading here!)


With much excitement,
Mel
