Greetings from New York City. Hope all is well with my brothers in arms across the Atlantic. We are putting together a sequel to Hos, Hookers, Call Girls and Rent Boys, our anthology that landed on the front cover of the Sunday New York Times Book Review. Would you please send me, as a Word attachment, your best story about a client. Also, send us your latest bio. Please send as soon as you can. And if you know of anybody else you think would have a great story to tell, please send them our way. Xox David

Johns, Marks, Tricks,& Chickenhawks is a collection of writing by people who have exchanged money for sex, or sexual services. This proposed project will build on the momentum and capitalize on the controversy created by the 2009 release of Hos, Hookers, Call Girls and Rent Boys (Soft Skull 2009) a groundbreaking anthology that provided unprecedented access into the lives of sex industry workers and allowed this underrepresented population to tell their own stories in their own words. In this collection, industrial sex technicians examine the relationships between themselves and their clients, relationships in which, unfettered by the bonds of polite society, customers are free to be who they really are, frightening, tender, confused, lonely, or for the first time, empowered.

Sorry Michael, have only just noticed your comment. I've not read this book yet actually, I got distracted by a few others!

Nothing escort related. I've just finished Julia Child's autobiography, which was brilliant.
