Avery Cassell is a writer, cartoonist, poet, and artist living with their Maine Coon cat, Lulu, in foggy San Francisco. They are a member of the Bay Area's queer kink and literary communities. Their erotica has appeared in Best Lesbian Erotica 2015, Anything that Moves, Whipped: 20 Erotic Stories of Female Dominance, Sonic Erotica, Sex Still Spoken Here, and More Five Minute Erotica. This is Avery Cassell's first novel. Avery is currently working on their memoir about growing up in Iran, their life as a hippie, a punk dyke, a sober mother, and a transgender genderqueer granddad. They are mulling over a sequel to Behrouz Gets Lucky. "It's-a-long-story" really is their middle name.
