Journalist, author and Southern Gothic belle. 

My new book is a cocktail recipe book, "Trumping And Drinking: 100 Cocktails For Donald Trump's First 100 Days" to get you through the first 100 days of a Donald Trump presidency. It's now available as an ebook or in a limited-edition paperback on Amazon.

I also published an ebook erotica series last year about a girl named Violet Clementine, which took me back to my writing roots of sex in the South.  It's the story of sexually-repressed girl who rebels against her conservative mother and the culture in which she lives.  Unexpectedly, she meets a man, who falls deeply for her beauty and brazenness, and offers her the one thing she craves - permission to embrace her erotic dreams. But as Violet begins to unlock her darkest desires, she realizes her rampant appetite for sexual escapades is a furious fire that she may be unable to contain.  The first three stories are now available on Amazon. The fourth will be published soon.

In 2015, I published my first novel, "Echo Ellis: Adventures of a Girl Reporter", which is also available on Amazon.  It's about a reporter always on the search for a big story while trying to balance a cocktail, a tablet and her love life.

I've written for diverse publications including The Economist, The Broad Side, The Daily Beast, Penthouse, The Christian Science Monitor, The Washington Post, Town & Country, Salon, and many other national and international publications.

I'm  also the author of "Sex in the South: Unbuckling the Bible Belt"and "1000 Best Bartender's Recipes."

A rabid audiophile, I'm a devoted Duranie who worships at the altar of Duran Duran and loves punk and new wave music.
