Stuff I Like To Look At (NSFW-ish)
ALL I COULD BARE: MY LIFE IN THE STRIP CLUBS OF GAY WASHINGTON, D.C.
A frank, funny, explicit, and surprisingly inspiring memoir about a mild-mannered graduate student who “took the road less clothed” and discovered his true self.
"Unafraid to bare it all...readers will feel they’re in the hands of an expert." Publisher's Weekly
"...a bare-assed, neon-lit tour de force..." The Bay Area Reporter
"Raunchy splendor...somehow both bawdy and sweetly nostalgic at the same time." Dallas Voice
