Master of O Signing Featuring Author Ernest Greene and Nina Hartley Friday March 6th at 9:00pm

The Stockroom proudly presents author Ernest Greene and his wife and muse, legendary porn-star and sex educator Nina Hartley, for a special event on Friday March 6th at 9:00pm. The long-awaited debut of The Illustrated Master of O is finally here! Join Ernest Greene, Nina Hartley, and the Stockroom family for an evening of elegance as the Los Angeles fetish elite supports this limited edition illustrated version of  The Master of O. There will be an open Q &A forum as well as an opportunity to hear the author read an excerpt from his book. An in-person book signing will precede a play party which closes the program. Valet service available.

The Stockroom Hall is located at 2811 West Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026.

Author, journalist and filmmaker Ernest Greene launched his latest carnal opus Master of O, a contemporary update of the classic French erotic novel Story of O. The book is published by Daedalus Press (http://www.daedaluspublishing.com).

This unique work of art and literature features 44 full-color explicit illustrations by world-renknowned fetish artist Fernando. Each was created with meticulous detail especially for this limited edition and carries the artist’s signature. This is the only work of illustrated fiction Fernando has done and is sure to become a collector’s item.

Master of O follows half-brothers Ray and Steven; two men with little in common except their shared passion for the dynamically beautiful O, a talented photographer with a secret life as a slave to the sexual whims of the competitive – and emotionally flawed - siblings.

“There are two sides to every story. Master of O is a re-imagination of the characters as seen from a dominant man’s point of view, rather than the submissive O’s,” said Greene. “I drew reality-based composites of people I’ve known from the BDSM culture and incorporated them into these rich characters.”

Dita Von Teese, author of Your Beauty Mark, says: “For me, reading Master of O evoked old feelings and also stirred new ones. The story has the quality of lived experience, elegantly yet explicitly capturing the way a certain elite likes to play. Modern erotica seems to have recently piqued interest of the mainstream, but Master of O keeps its promises!" Margaret Cho, author of I’m the One I Want, also heralded the book:  "Sexy, decadent, powerful and fun - exactly what you want in a date or in a book!"

Master of O is a completely new genre of romantic fiction that’s aimed at readers interested in the dynamics of power-based relationships, an appreciation for noir fiction and appetite for something more stimulating than Fifty Shades of Grey.

“The sex in Master of O is unlike any sex non-kinky readers have ever encountered before,” adds Greene. “Its shocks and discoveries and contradictions will be unexpected on every page.”

Author, journalist and filmmaker Ernest Greene has worked in the adult industry - and played in the BDSM lifestyle – for years, bringing much of his past sexual experiences to life on the screen in erotic movies, directing over 50 movies in over 20 years, with a special interest in the classic French erotic novel Story of O. Greene’s latest book, Master of O, is a contemporary update that more than lives up to the simmering emotional and sexual intensity of its literary muse.

Nina Hartley is a pioneering feminist sex worker, using her body in the service of promoting a sexually sane and literate society. She is thrilled to see a new generation of sex-positive performer/activists take its space and spread the good news about sex. For the past thirty years, her rock-solid commitment to the importance of sexual autonomy has fueled Nina Hartley’s career in adult entertainment. As a performer, director, writer, educator, public speaker, and feminist thinker for all, no matter their orientation, she’s traveled the world to deliver her message. She believes that sexual freedom is a fundamental human right and welcomes the new social media opportunities for spreading her message of knowledge and empowerment to the widest number of people. She’s the author of “Nina Hartley’s Guide to Total Sex,” from Avery Press. Putting to use her B.S. degree in nursing, she and her husband, I.S. Levine, have produced the million-selling sex-ed video series collectively known as “The Nina Hartley Guides,” from Adam & Eve, currently in its 38th episode.  Still active in front of the camera, she and her husband live in Los Angeles.
