Frisky Little Philly

Tomorrow evening, Tuesday, May 19, I'll be making the first of my three live appearances to help promote Oysters & Chocolate: Erotic Stories of Every Flavor! The mini-tour kicks off in Philadelphia, at the Erotic Literary Salon (which is celebrating its first anniversary). I'm very honored to be a part of this program.

Here are snippets from the event's press release (to read it in full, go here):

Philadelphia’s Erotic Literary Salon ... featuring writer Jeremy Edwards reading from his short story “Human” and signing the new book in which it appears. He will also discuss the Erotic Power of Minutiae: How Small Descriptive Details, Minor Epiphanies, and Brief Utterances Can Play Big Roles in the Context of Erotic Literature ...

In Jeremy’s story, a man’s relationship with the woman he adores quickly evolves from awe to intimacy, through the power of emotional and sexual revelation. Copies of Oysters & Chocolate, signed by Jeremy, will be available for purchase at the Salon ...

Monthly salons gather the 3rd Tuesday of every month at the charming entertainment venue of L’Etage, 624 S. 6th St., entrance on Bainbridge Street, just south of Center City Philadelphia. The Erotic Literary Salon allows men and women a "safe space" to hear and present original and favorite authors’ erotic words ...

Salons attract a supportive audience of 45 and more individuals, while usually a dozen or more authors and readers recite erotica ... Lily, our resident nonagenarian (92 years young) often recites her original erotica.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m. (limited seating), for cocktails, food and conversation. The event begins promptly at 8:30 p.m. Admission is $10, discounted for F/T students and seniors (65+) to $8. Salon attendees ages 21+ are invited to recite original or favorite erotica; share distinctive authors, books, and websites; and join in friendly discussions—all pertaining to this most intimate and human of literary genres.

Salonnière Susana Mayer, who holds a Doctor of Human Sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, is Philadelphia’s best-known sexologist and a specialist in challenges of the libido—human sexual desire/arousal—and enhancement of intimacy and joy through “outercourse”: creation of a personal eroticism.
