Profile Information
- Who I am:
- I am a writer, workshop facilitator and performer. My writing appears in more than thirty anthologies and periodicals, including Make/Shift, Nobody Passes, Visible: A Femmethology (Vol. 1), Best Sex Writing 2008, Best Women's Erotica 2007, and many more. I toured with the Body Heat Femme Porn Tour, for which she’s produced two chapbooks: unconsummated and pink and devastating. I've featured at such Bay Area literary events as Femina Potens’ Sizzle, Writers With Drinks, the National Queer Arts Festival, Perverts Put Out, the Queer Open Mic, and LitQuake’s LitCrawl. I have facilitated sexuality and survivors writing workshops since 2002, and lead workshops at Writing Ourselves Whole in San Francisco and at colleges and organizations across the country. My writing deals primarily with queer sexuality and trauma.
