Last night, March 2, I had the pleasure of participating in the monthly Ravenous Nights reading series held at the Happy Ending Lounge on New York's Lower East Side. As the name of the establishment implies, it was a "massage parlor" in its previous incarnation — and, while the outside is unassuming, the entryway and upstairs lounge where the reading takes place are quite lovely! It's an intimate, cozy space with a beautiful bar and a semi-circle of comfy booths.
Ravenous Romance's Debra Hyde and Lori Perkins are gracious, welcoming, supportive hosts, and my fellow readers, Mo Beasley, Nick Kaufmann and Jefferson, shared very entertaining pieces. As for me...I was second up to bat, reading from Spice and Smoke and marking the novella's official public debut!
