ABOUT THE AUTHOR
we reveal our deepest selves in the multiplicity of ways we express our sexuality.
Dena writes aboard her sailboat, preferably in a quiet anchorage. A queer, poly, kinky former sex educator, she knows that the sexy bits can be the best parts!
Wanderlust is her waking state. Since 1999, she has sailed waters from Seattle to San Francisco, across to Hawaii, and from South Carolina to Maine. Whether traveling in the physical world or ranging far in her imagination, she is happiest accompanied by her partner since 1996, James Lane.
