After searching in vain for a sex-themed reading series in Dallas, I have finally decided to host my own. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to develop a vibrant community for erotica writers here. Cities like New York and LA offer many wonderful opportunities for authors to showcase their work--but so far Texas is falling sadly behind.

I decided to contact Rachel Kramer Bussel (the founder of the original In The Flesh, New York) for advice, and she graciously invited me to open a new branch of her famed reading series here! At this moment, I am still in the process of searching for a perfect venue and locating authors who are interested in reading. I am focusing on Dallas first, but have big plans for the future, and would love to organize readings in Austin at some point, as well.

I will post updates here and at my new blog InTheFleshTexas.blogspot.com as I nail down more of the specifics. My goal is to kick off the Dallas In the Flesh in Spring of 2010. Right now, I am trying to locate authors. If you might be interested in reading at In the Flesh in Dallas, please let me know by sending an email to InTheFleshTexas@yahoo.com. Be sure to visit the websites for In the Flesh New York and In the Flesh LA for more information about upcoming performances and reading opportunities in those cities. Thank you so much for your interest and support! I will keep you posted!
