Here I am at Marshall University's "Stand for Women" conference.

This is my wonderful (2010) memoir workshop at the Vermont College of Fine Arts' Postgraduate Writers' Conference -- from left: Melissa, Sue, Karen, Robbie, Dawn, Rachel, and, in front, Yvette.

MEMOIRS
"A deeply personal story of a woman's addiction to and recovery from the high of dangerous encounters. This utterly candid account is the only memoir by a woman to examine sexual addiction. It is a powerful, often lyrical book with strong resonance for other addictions, whether to food, drugs, alcohol, or work--for anyone whose only satisfaction is now."
