Just in time, SWOP-Chicago has released two videos for all sex workers who face the possibility of arrest on prostitution charges. It’s an excellent resource for all. I highly encourage anyone reading this blog to view the videos and learn.

Know Your Rights Part I covers arrest — what to do and what not to do. Basically, you stand a much better chance of events turning in your favor if you stay silent.

Know Your Rights Part II covers what happens after an arrest and spends significant time on walking you through your Emergency Response Worksheet step-by-step.

These videos are valuable resources compiled not only by the actual collective experience of SWOP-Chicago, but anchored by their legal consultations as well. No rumors or urban legend allowed. Straight up, practical lessons on handling the event in the best possible way. Repeat viewings are encouraged.

First, thank you for your patience. I make big plans, but they aren’t always on the timetable I’d like.

It is printed and should be at my fulfillment center within a week. It won’t be available to the public for another couple weeks.

If you want a jump on things, you can either sign up for my newsletter or reserve a copy. You’ll get an opportunity to buy the book at a discount before it’s available to the general public (at full price). That’s my way of thanking my many loyal readers who have been waiting patiently through publishing delays. Buying information will be included in the newsletter or purchase email.

I apologize for all the delays, but now there are no more delays! (Fingers crossed that the delivery truck doesn’t skid on an icy road and dump my books in the snow or something.)

Yours truly is there as well. The entire show should be of interest.

Golden Girl Press is a very tiny company funded by one person. Though the company takes care of its own day-to-day expenses, the big things – like printing Book #2 – come out of the pocket of the company’s founder/owner. Right now, that pocket is very thin and the cost of printing is not going down.

Which is why the release date keeps getting moved back. Life happens. (Check the past few months of TexasGoldenGirl.com if you don’t already know.)

Though the enthusiasm from my readers is welcome (it means I’m doing something right), there’s not much else to say other than it will be out when it’s out. Unless one of you would like to be an angel investor! One day Golden Girl Press will be a solid small press churning out several books a year. But it’s not there yet. We’re struggling to finish giving birth to this one (it is a big one, though).

Fingers crossed – it will be able to see the light of day soon. It will be a great relief to me and I hope you enjoy the read.

Thank you all for your continued patience.

I’m sure not everyone reading this is in Chicago, but for those who are, please come by and show your support. I’ll be reading from Book 2: Advertising and Marketing.

Should be interesting.
