Jesus Never Lived Here 

 This is my first collection of poetry. It is more of a chapbook and there are very few left. This book contains all my poetry slam winning work and reminisces of living on the Lower East Side of Manhattan before it was all prettied up.

The Bones of Susan

My second collection of poetry is a conventional book that bridges my life on the street and my life now as a writer, performer and lecturer. These are the poems that inspired people to elect me Poet Laureate of Bucks Country.

SEXED: Tales of a Textrix

This is an ebook you can only purchase it at either smashwords or amazon. 

This book contains questions I have been fortunate enough to receive over the last 2 years through texts, emails and the rare letter. A majority of the texts messages came from audience members who attended my show SEXED, an interactive performance on sex, love and relationships. Many people asked the same question in different variations so I condensed some of the questions into one question. The three most popular topics of discussion are: 1. Penis size. This topic was most popular among men who confessed they are plagued with insecurity about their own endowment. 2. Female orgasm. This question came from women who were struggling with this issue and from men wanting to give women orgasms. 3. Anal sex. Inquiring minds just want to know.

The last chapter in this book is autobiographical. I have always used my life experiences as a way to educate, entertain and inspire people to live the best life they can regardless of challenges.

In many cultures, including our own, the prevailing attitude is that sex is sinful, dirty, bad, and scary. It has become taboo, something we should not discuss. The topic is then only ventured in effort to tell people not to do it because they will die or get some horrible disease. The issue of sex is also a psychological trigger used as a tool by ad companies to sell everything from automobiles to self-esteem. The purpose of my work in this field and this book is to answer questions about sex, love, relationships and life in general in the best way that I can. My intention is not to moralize or demoralize sex neither is it to advocate one to have or not to have sex. My goal is to give the reader the answers to the questions they asked.

People often do not ask their family, church or even doctors these questions because they do not want to be judged. There is so much shame, guilt and fear surrounding the topic of sex. I wanted to create a safe space in my performances and in this book where you can find simply the facts as best I know them and researched them
