The Internet Escort's Handbook series

Written by an escort for escorts. A frank discussion of a job rarely mentioned except in gossip or scandal. It's not terrible or "bad" nor must it be demeaning to either party.
Safe, sane, successful escort work is possible.
Book 2 (the gold one) is coming soon!
