Rare San Francisco visit in November!

I'm thrilled to be returning to San Francisco this month, celebrating the re-release of The Slave, reading from my latest work, and launching a new workshop.

Join me on Friday night, November 19,  as a featured guest of Femina Potens, which is celebrating my book release with a BDSM Play Party.  Described as "an  evening of black-tie debauchery," this fabulous party will include the recreation of a scene from The Marketplace, performed for your entertainment and delicious delight. Bring your tux and your flogger.  Note: you must be a member of Femina Potens to attend! Join here!

I'm also delighted to participate in Femina Potens' monthly  SIZZLE, the Bay Area award-winning literary erotica series. SIZZLE's Cupcakes and Kink will take place Saturday, November 20th at 8:00 p.m.

I’ll return to Femina Potens for two workshops on Sunday, November 21st. The first workshop is a premiere: Don't Dream It; Be It – Fantasies and Role-play for the Shy: 

Let’s face it – role playing does not come naturally to everyone! But if you’ve always wanted to try it, are ready to expand your repertoire, or are unsure how to fulfill a partners fantasy, this is the way to begin. Explore fantasy archetypes, linear and freeform story telling, flirting and signaling while in role, and other basic concepts for making the fantasy just a little more real. Then we’ll go into things like setting, costumes, props and even supporting cast. Come prepared to share, even if it has to be anonymously!

Don't Dream It; Be It is a class intended for an audience that might not already be part of the alt-sex/kinky world, but who are the sexually adventurous, the curious and the open minded. The class takes place Sunday, November 21st at 3:00 p.m. Click here to pre-register.

The second workshop is an audience favorite: Your Own Good: Using Punishment in SM Relationships:

For Your Own Good is intended for people who are familiar with the kinky/SM world, and dominant/submissive relationships. The class takes place Sunday, November 21st at 6:00 p.m. Click here to pre-register.

I won't be returning to Bay Area until Spring of 2011, when Midori and I will be presenting our Passionate Bonds weekend, so I hope to see many of you there!



And just in case you are inclined to magical children, Karen and I are going to see the new Harry Potter movie on Friday the 19th in San Fran, at the AMC Loews Metreon 16, the 1:30 show. Buy your own tickets in advance and meet us at the theatre at 12:30; geekery shall ensue!
