The Devil Made Me Do It
Writing a book was the easy part. Yeah, it took me five years. I wanted to get it right, OK?
But then came the hard part - getting it into print and available to them as might be interested. Every traditional (and a few untraditional) publishers who were interested in publishing it wanted it their way. I wanted it mine. So I decided to publish it myself.
There are a slew of outfits out there who all tell you how "simple and economical" such an endeavor is. It isn't. At least it has not been so for me. I'm dealing with Lulu.com, whose pitch was the most attractive of the lot. Well, it's a little like trying to get that very important proposal copied for your boss (who wants it yesterday) when they just put a brand new copy machine in and the manual is written in Sanskrit. Trial and error - expensive as it is - seems to be the only way to accomplish your task.
I do seem to be on about the last page of the process, however. I've not wanted to fill this space with constant hints that the thing would be coming out any day - until I had some idea of when that "any day" might get here. I think I can safely say that there will be a book for sale at my Lulu "store" by the end of next week - or sooner, God willin' and the creek don't rise.
I just managed to published a small, very funny book of drawings. It's now available for preview and purchase. This was both my "trial" project - to figure out what to do with a smaller amount of material to manage - and a book that is very dear to my heart. A click here or on the BOOKS button on my website will take you to the "store" and you can have a peek at the content by clicking on the book title, "Who ARE These People?" It's not a sex book. But, hey, you can't wallow in erotica all the time. Or can you? Well, that's your business. All proceeds from its sale go to the widow of the artist.
Thanks for hanging in there with me through this looooooooong and tedious endeavor.

Happy Birthday Georgina, really love all your fliks, your voice in all of them is always the biggest turn on for me. Maybe because I am a musician.

Dear Georgina,
Happy birthday!
As a history buff, and a porn fan, I am really looking forward to your memoirs. You don’t need me to say how important DMJ was and is, but I will say, it is still, to this day, easily in my top-five best, and favorite, adult films.
I know you are working hard to get this out, but I hope, on your birthday, you take a moment to celebrate your accomplishments.
Many happy returns!
Take care,Kevin
Happy 72nd Birthday, Georginia,
To the lady who started it all in 72!!! Here's to 72 more(the way techonology is going it may be a reality!!! )
Love, John xox
Happy Birthday Sexy. Thinking of you...
(thinking of kissing you, holding you, feeling you, etc...but I don't want to be rude so I won't say it) Boog
Just wanted to wish you the best on your day!
In honor of your Birthday, I'm gonna have to pop one off to one of your videos!
Have a good one doll!
I'll be stroking one for you!
;)

Georgie's Birthday
Good grief. I'm 72 years old today. Feels like 22. Don't know why I lucked out with the constitution of an iron skillet, but I am very grateful.

Devil Made Me Do It - update
Amazon has fished out every book they have on how to get published and put them on my log-in page to tempt me. Now, how the hell did they find out I had written a book is what I want to know. I feel so vulnerable. Thirty years I've been happily curled up in my Hollywood cave. In the last five, since retiring, I've enjoyed having the books I want to read delivered to my door. (What a wonderful age we live in.) But as I look out on the world from my laptop - IS THE WORLD LOOKING IN AT ME?
You see, I wrote this book. Why I finally did is part of the story, so I ain't gonna get into it here. Buy the book. It's called "The Devi Made Me Do It" and you can preview it on the BOOKS page.
Writing it was the easy part - though it hardly seemed so at the time. Then came the real shock. Nobody wanted to publish it. So, just like the little red hen of nursery rhyme, I said, "Very well, I'll do it myself."
Now everyone who knows about this stuff is gonna yell bloody murder that I'm admitting I couldn't find a publisher, but it's the truth, and I'm finding truth a very comfortable place to hang out.
I've promised myself - and I'm promising you who were nice enough to pay me a visit - that I will update this little note page if anything exciting happens.
