Joanna Angel On Tour To Promote Interactive Novel 'Night Shift'

LOS ANGELES—Hot off the heels of several wins at this year's AVN Awards, Joanna Angel is adding a new aspect to her multimedia career with her first novel-length work of fiction, Night Shift: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy. Having already received rave reviews from major media outlets like Publishers Weekly and Foreword Reviews, as well as industry and non-industry creatives, Angel's appearance is sure to make for an interesting event and promises to spark more than just a tired old book signing—and the tiny star will guarantee that, by bringing the book's "choose-your-own" aspect to life (in a [mostly] SFW way). It's not something she's willing to give details about up front, so the only way to find out more and not miss out on the fun is to be there in person. According to the publisher, Night Shift: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy features Taryn who, after graduating college, finds herself lost and uncertain of what to do next. With a self-imposed friendless and sexless life, Taryn unexpectedly winds up working the graveyard shift at Dreamz, a sex shop in Pasco County, Florida. Tucked into a seedy strip mall on the side of a highway, hilarious and erotic surprises lurk around every neon-lit corner—and readers can choose which of those surprises interest them most. The reader's mission: In a sketchy and sexy world filled with tissues, gallons of lube, sex toys, tiger print, and swinger parties, help Taryn choose her way as she learns what happens in this small, unexpectedly kinky town. From butt plugs to cross-dressing truckers to being held-up at gunpoint over dildos, readers can experience this fun and sexy journey along with Taryn, as she goes from shy and sweet to skilled and empowered—but how she gets there is up to the reader!

Drawing from a broad palette of preferences, she has created a book that is truly special and unusual. Night Shift is candy sweet and easy to enjoy erotica in a lively, explorable format. [Five Stars]"—Foreword Reviews "In this engaging book, the reader helps Taryn along on her kinky journey. What will happen next? Who will she meet? Where will she go? Through interactive 'choose your own adventure' style scenarios, you’re able to create your very own erotica book."— Stylecaster "It shouldn't come as a surprise that an innovator like Joanna Angel has excelled at a chose-your-own erotic fantasy novel. Whether you read her book with one hand or two, you're going to learn something about yourself."—Spencer Ackerman, senior national security correspondent, The Daily Beast  "Angel brings her adult film star cred to print with a set of giddily gleeful, empowerment-oriented, and mostly female-centered vignettes about the blossoming of a lonely novelty store employee, all strung together in a story-game format. This interactive story is a fun way to enjoy a smorgasbord of sex scenes."—Publishers Weekly "If Daniel Clowes wrote a sex novel, it might turn out something like Night Shift. A delightfully quirky and very hot read rife with Joanna Angel's signature, sweetly crackling wit."—Peter Warren, Adult Video News "This is the funniest porn-adjacent thing I’ve ever read. Subtly informative and highly comedic."—Stoya, pornographer “Joanna Angel keeps reinventing herself. She’s now added ‘writer of interactive fiction’ to her already impressive bag of tricks. Always sex-positive, always fun, always righteous—Joanna is a fearless woman who always chooses her own adventure.”—Gustavo Turner, Los Angeles artist and writer "Like Joanna herself, Night Shift is fun, sexy, and full of surprises! No matter which adventure you choose, Joanna Angel is guaranteed to take you on an amazing—and sexy—ride!"—Mike Tully, co-host, The Jason Ellis Show "Night Shift does more than simply facilitate erotic escapism. Joanna Angel is a brilliant writer who explores deep subject matter such as gender and sexual identity, acceptance and rejection, while remaining funny, optimistic and sex-positive. This book will touch you while you touch yourself.”—Angela White, award-winning adult performer and director  "Joanna Angel pulls the curtain back on what happens in those peep show booths and her fantasy is even naughtier and salacious than anyone could have ever imagined. I found myself eating morning-after pills like popcorn as the carnality intensified with each chapter choice. After giving an entire generation calluses with her films she has mastered sensual paper cuts of pleasure like a true sadist."—Chris Neiratko, author of Vice's Skinema Night Shift: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy
