Her work appears in Cosmopolitan, DAME Magazine, the Huff Post, LIVESTRONG.com and more. Kirkus Reviews called her first novel, In Her Shadow, “an engaging story with an inventive structure and an intriguing focus on body-image issues.” Each week on Girl Boner Radio, she interviews sex and relationship experts, celebrity entertainers, sex workers, entrepreneurs, survivors and more.

Publishers Weekly called her book, Girl Boner: The Good Girl’s Guide to Sexual Empowerment “equally fun, risqué, and informative” and “a welcome addition to sexual health literature.” The companion book, Girl Boner Journal: A Guided Journal to Sexual Joy and Empowerment, is now available for pre-order. @AugustMcLaughlin
