Meet Nick Kaufmann— one of my literary inspirations and the author of "Comeback," the story you see him reading here. It's a tale of sweet revenge by a washedup but unbowed porn star!
This is a live clip from a show we did together in NYC to celebrate our new anthology, X: The Erotic Treasury.
I had a physical thrill hearing Nick (and my other authors) read aloud the stories I'd only studied silently before. I knew every word from editing them, but the live reading electrified me!
My arm hairs stood on end, thinking, "OMG OMG, this is perfect!" I don't know why I was surprised, but I was. It was one of those strange moments when you realize something wonderful you did... really is exactly that. I heard the audience laugh and squirm— and my whole body flushed. It was apt we were in a bar called "The Happy Ending."
Everyone asks Nick if he is a porn star, a hasbeen stud, or whether he spent years in the sex business.
No! He is a wellknown and award-winning writer in the horror and fantasy genres. Now you can see why he's a master of suspense and evil cunning! I want so much for his character, Amber Fox, to be alive, my new best-slut. Love her!
Thanks again to Rachel Kramer Bussel and the whole "In the Flesh Reading Series" crew for making us shine up so bright...
