SEXUAL HEALING: HANNE BLANK'S SEX BOOK BENEFIT for HURRICANE KATRINA
How it Works:
1. Minimum donation pledges for each book or item are given following the title and before the item description. This is the MINIMUM donation; if you can donate more, great, but if you can't, don't sweat it... it's a sliding scale sort of thing.
2. Those wishing to reserve a book or other item should email hanne at hanneblank dot com and identify which item(s) you wish to reserve. When I get your email I will send you a PDF form to fill out and mail to me along with your check or money order (no, I do not do PayPal).
3. I will inscribe, sign, and ship out your book or other item either to you or to the recipient of your choice upon cashing your check/money order. Lipstick kiss-prints available at no extra charge.
4. ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS BENEFIT WILL GO TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS FUND FOR HURRICANE KATRINA RELIEF. That's right, I'm donating the books, the postage, the packing, etc. All told, I'm putting up about $760 in merchandise here and probably another hundred bucks in postage... the rest is up to YOU.

13 copies of Best Transgender Erotica, coedited with Raven Kaldera (2002, Circlet Press) Because this book is now out of print, the minimum donation is $25.
About the book: "Best Transgender Erotica is a profoundly moving and remarkable book. Born out of the trans community and co-edited by Raven Kaldera, an intergendered FtM transman and general mover-and-shaker in the trans world, it is the first book of erotica to address the myriad aspects of transgenderism. This collection of 23 stories features work from both trans activists and seasoned erotica authors (some of whom, it might be noted, hold claim to both titles). The stories range from side-splittingly funny lustful comedies to deeply poignant love stories -- but all with some of the hottest sex scenes I've ever encountered. And the characters are equally diverse and fascinating -- there are crossdressers, pre-ops, post-ops, non-ops, intersexed, genderqueers, androgynes, butches, femmes, and a few that simply defy definition." (from this review)

About the book: "A daring darling from the Live Girls series offers a collection of provocative, confessional stories sure to inspire one-handed reading. This isn’t dusty, for-ladies-only fiction, just high-quality erotica that doesn’t require a whips-and-chains appetite for thorough enjoyment of each sensual, sometimes wicked admission. Recalling the sweat and sizzle of an old affair, a woman wonders if her former lover can ever forgive her for having ended up with his wife. A Haitian couple reveals the passion born of desperation and the searing fires of loss and love. A young woman abroad loses her virginity to a sophisticated older man in a scorching-hot life lesson in sexual possibility. Ovulation brings sweet, slippery horniness--and volatile, supercharged impregnation fantasies--to a childless-by-choice bi-chick. And a pregnant bitch goddess recounts the night she took over her husband’s body the same way her growing baby took over her own: relentlessly and with delicious, paradoxical pleasure and pain. The memoir-like style of these stories allows the reader to devour private letters, peek into diaries, and listen to the most intimate confessions of women acting out in inspirational sexual abandon. Seasoned editor Blank has collected only the hottest, most “confidential” and scintillating erotic moments by expert eroticists including Dawn O’Hara, Adhara Law, Lisa Bland, and others." (Libido)

About the book: "This book is one of the more delicious erotic anthologies I've come across in a long time. Hanne Blank's writing is titlating, imaginative and will keep on the edge of your seat/sheets. There are so many stories with differing themes, combinations and moods that there is absolutely something for everyone. Finally, a writer who can combine hot sex and emotion together. I think my favorite story is Sauce for the Gander, a fun but unconventional look at a relationship with a woman who loves both her boyfriend and her girlfriend. Totally sexy, unexpected but not stupid cheesoid wacka wacka porn. Also The Princess and the Tiger will make the top of your head pop open with it's fantastically seductive story." -- a random Amazon.com reviewer (this is probably my favorite review of any of my books, just for the phrase "stupid cheesoid wacka wacka porn."
