I have to say that I wasn't super excited at first. Not just because my reading pile is well, not actually a pile at all, but a mountain range threatening avalanche, but because I've read a few other books & ebooks on this subject and I was greatly disappointed with them. Most authors are so, apparently, threatened by possible legal action that the books become so vague as to be useless; similarly become the ones written by those who clearly have not had any actual sex work experience. And a few are either so poorly written or such a sad collection of generalized stereotypes that they are not worth anyone's time. Typically, this genre of how-tos leaves me mourning the out of print status of Magalene Meretrix's book... But Amanda's book is, in a word, brilliant.

Her debut novel is touching and terrifying, hopeful and demented," says Eric Spitznagel, author of Fast Forward: Confessions of a Porn Screenwriter. But would the book live up to such expectations?

(She also occasionally wrote under the pseudonym Raccoona Sheldon from 1974–77.) Tiptree was most notable for breaking down the barriers between writing perceived as inherently "male" or "female." It wasn't until 1977 that folks discovered that James Tiptree, Jr. was a woman. But Gracie didn't know any of this when she grabbed the book. (She's weird like that.)
