Wanna read my book?
I have no idea how to start. I guess I'll just repeat myself and say, the last few weeks have been swimmingly busy. This time I'm ready to tell you why.
When I said that there were some exciting things going on for me career-wise, I meant it. In my "real life" I'm a writer by profession and a few weeks ago Daniel Rose of The Sex God Method contacted me to ask if I was interested in writing a book about my sex life. It would be part of a product line to compliment the products under the name The Sex God Method, including his book by that same name.
First I thought I was going to throw up. Then I cried. I just couldn't process all the emotions going on in my head at the time.
I'm absolutely excited about this, despite my first impulse to leak fluids. I've always wanted to write a book - I just never knew about what. Now that I have the opportunity to write about sex I realize it's perfect. There really is no topic I would rather write about.
I've already started writing the book. It's going to be an account of how I got from a virgin at 26 years old to someone that absolutely loves her sex life. You'll see a lot of the same type of writing from my blog - erotic true stories about my sex life.
I will continue to blog throughout the process, answering reader questions, WFIW, random sex musings and all the stuff you are used to seeing here. I'll also be keeping you updated on the progress of the book. In fact, if you'll notice in my top left-hand sidebar you can now enter your email address to receive updates about its publish date and other information.
In the meantime, I'm coming out of the sexblogger closet, so to speak. This is a new career path I'm exploring and I'm loud and proud.
My name is Holly and my husband's name is Chad. These are the names our mothers call us, and now you can too. How lovely to meet you.

Wowza! That is so very awesome!!
Congrats to you, big congrats :)
applause to you for getting to do something you're clearly passionate about! how often do people get to combine such pleasures?!
Good for you!
Holly, this is wonderful news! I will be very excited to track the progress of your book through your blog. I know it will be very helpful to others just beginning to follow your path to sexual fulfillment.
Well, you already have a fan case, Holly. Can't wait for the movie! (That's a joke. The book has to come first.)
What awesome news! So happy for you.
Holly?! So the Dirty Filthy was a made up name?
Princess is your correct last name though, isn't it?
Cool honey! (I mean Holly!) How awesomely exciting for you.. :) :)
Holly,
This is awesome news! I for one absolutely cannot wait to read anything you write!
Pleased to meet you, Holly. :)
j: wowza, that is the exact word I have been searching for, LOL.
different kind of girl: thank you. I feel that way too, very lucky to get to do something that I really enjoy!
cherrie: thanks. It's going to be an exciting time!
redhead editor: lol, that's funny you should say that. In telling my family what was going on, the one thing my sister wanted to clear up, would I be doing dirty movies? lol. No, I won't.
Mina; thanks so much!
Kimba: lol, so, yes, you all can stop calling me dirty filthy, or dirty for short. That always amuses me when I get an email for "dirty".
fellatrix: well, thank you! That is so nice to hear.
elizabeth: pleased to meet you too! ;-)
Congratulations!!!. I have enjoyed your blog and now look forward to your book.
Hi Holly,
I have been a long time reader of your blog but I thought I would come out of hiding to say a huge congrats!! I am glad you get to fulfill your dream of writing your book.. Looking forward to your updates..
Amanda
mr and mrs sw: Thanks, I appreciate your kind words.
kitten: a lurker delurks! Thanks for commenting and for coming out of hiding. That means a lot to me.
Wow, congratulations.
I'll try not to be too jealous!
I had a magazine article published in a saucy women's magazine recently - but that's not quite in the same league, is it?
But well done, Holly. You're a fantastic writer and thoroughly deserve it.
For all those who don't know me, I'm Dan from Sex God Method. I've been talking with Holly about the book for a while, and believe me -- I'm just as excited as her that it's happening.
I discovered Holly's blog a few months back, and I thought it was amazing -- she somehow manages to capture the essence of great sex on her blog in a way very few people can.
And I think the book will be great. Men will be able to read it to find out what women REALLY want -- all the good stuff they don't tell you in sex ed. Women will be able to read the book and be inspired to have better sex -- because after all, if Holly can do it in her relationship, so can you. And for everyone, it'll be a very exciting read.
Sex God Method will be handling the design, editing, production, etc. of the book...so a few months down the line, we'll all be able to enjoy a beautiful printed book written by Holly.
I can't wait.
Dan
The Sex God Method
Holly-
I've been reading your blog for what seems like forever, and I am constantly amazed by your willingness and ability to share such intimate moments, even behind the thin veil of internet anonymity. But putting a real name out there is so tremendously ballsy! Kudos to you. I look forward to reading more and to awaiting the arrival of your book!
Congrats!
Oh Holy Hell ... I go on vacation and all sorts of fun things happen! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I am so doing the happy dance for you! Woo Hoo! Can't wait til I am home and can catch up more! Hugs!
ed: hey, that's great! A magazine article is nothing to scoff at at all. Congrats to you and thanks for the nice words.
Daniel: Thanks for chiming in and giving people a coherent idea of what is going on. You comment was perfect in every way.
j: well, thanks for reading and for commenting. Yes, it is ballsy, and scary to come out of the sexblogger closet like this. But I want to grab the reins on this opportunity and go for it, to mix some metaphors. Rest assured that this decision was made after many, many deep discussions with Chad (hard husband) and, yes, even consulting family and friends. So, while it may seem rash, it's actually very well thought out. Thanks for the nice words and the comment!
heels: yeah, I know. Crazy isn't it? :-) Glad you could check in to wish me well. Oh, and, I LOVE your happy dance!
How exciting! So very very cool! Congrats!
Holly,
How cool is this?!?!?! Congratulations and good luck, we'll be looking forward to following your progress and to the book! And I'm wondering what thedirtyprincess.com is going to be hmmmm??
She finally has a name! I like it better than Dirty Filthy Priness, alas I'm sick in bed, since Monday the 6th so. And off two more days, now I've got some interesting reading to do.

summer: thanks for the nice words and feel better soon!!
fusion: well, thank you. And best of luck to you too. I'm so excited for you about your future!
Hey! I didn't know you were writing here again.
PS: That's awesome news.
