Meet Luna
Working all day in her hair salon ‘Tranquility’ and then going
home to an empty condo is not the dream that Luna Holley had for herself. After she took over the payments of the salon
five years ago; this is all she has done. Work, home, sleep and maybe eat, this
is her daily schedule.
Luna was named after the moon that was bright and full when
she was born. Her mother had her on the beach on a Sunday night.
Luna has been on her own since she was fourteen, and working
was the only thing she had ever done. Passing her state board license test to be
a cosmetologist was her goal, which she did on her eighteenth birthday! She
always wanted to do something with hair it, was her specialty. She had a
special talent of mixing color and transforming her clients from plan Jane to
perfection. Luna was very talented
stylist that had a great eye for which cut would flatter your face, your
personality, and when it came to make-up she was an artist.
Luna had no life, she was a very controlling person and a
hands on owner. She was the first one
to arrive and the last to leave; with five employees at her shop, Toni, Daisy,
Nicci, Carrie, and Mary the nail tech.
Luna had another set of friends. The owners of the tattoo
shop next door, and one of the employees. Luna was also controlling when it
came to her hair salon, but when he came to friends she was a follower. Luna
loved hair, music, and ink so it’s no wonder she became really close friends
with the owner of the tattoo shop next-door. Cecilia, Danny, and Watson were
the only three people that Luna would let put any ink on her.

Skyclad
is an only child who has had everything her heart desires. Until Love, Lust,
and Family changed everything.
She is
a law student just leaving Harvard to live in the big city of Boston. Passing
the state bar was her goal. Life takes a new turn when an ex-lover tries to
manipulate her, and a new man walks into her life, to turn her world around.
Not to mention a new found kinship that turns in to what she always longed to
have.
Chapter 1:
Four long years of law school to graduate in the top of my class.
I have the first appointment, of my class to take the bar exam. I have the
world ahead of me and somehow I feel like I’m missing something.
Yes I’m missing my parents, as they would have been so proud
of me. Their only child becoming a lawyer: I just wish they could have been
here physically, and not just in spirit.
I’m feeling sorry for myself, and I need to snap out of
this. They have been gone four years now. I’m so ready to move out of the
dorms, into the apartment that they bought. They spent a good bit of cash, just
to have a place to come and visit me. They never had the chance to stay in it.
Moving day sucks, I have a small moving van booked to move
my life of college, and law school into a large apartment in downtown Boston.
The saddest part is I have never even stepped into the apartment. I have a key,
and the code to get in .I just never wanted to.
As I pull up to the
unloading dock, a large guy with a Boston Towers Apartments shirt on walks up
to the truck.
“Hey you caaant Paak heeea!” he said.
“I’m moving in today,where do I unload the truck?” I ask.
“Oh Ok” he point to a large steel door. I park by the door.
He hits the door and it is a large elevator.
“What Floora?” he shouts.
“15” I yell back. I like the guys in Boston, there rough and
sexy as hell. I don’t have much, just about 30 boxes maybe.
“Heeea let me help ya. Ya anint got much shit” he said.
“No I’ just have boxes. That’s all. Where do I park the van,
the company is coming to pick it up at noon?”
“Leave it heeea, I‘ll be heea. I’m Joe I work security heeea.”
“Hi Joe I’m Sky in 15a.”
“You mean 15 there is only one apartment on the 15th
floora, no one has lived there sin foua yeaas.”
“Yes my parents bought it... They passed away.” I didn’t
want to get into how or why, since I usually just give too much information. I
need to not say so much, that is the only thing my professors would tell
me.
I can hear all the professors now. “Skyclad shut up and
listen, then react that is how to be a great lawyer.”
“Oh my sympathy” he said.
“Thank you.”
We get in to the elevator there is a key pad I put in the
code. The elevator shoots up to the 15th floor, the door opens to a
large white door with a key pad. I enter my code and the doors open.
The apartment is large with white sheet over
everything. Joes puts the boxes inside
my door. I just stop, and look around. I have never been in here before and
this is all new for me.
“Nice pad girly” Joe said. He pats me on the back.
“Yes it is. Can I give you the key for the truck?” “shuuwa I’ll takaa caaaae of it.” Joes gives
me his card, and said if I need anything to call him. I just love the way guys talk in Boston.
It takes me a good two days to get all my crap unpacked and
put where I want it. My parents had furnished the apartment so it is fully
stocked. The estate lawyer took care of all the things for me. Now I’m on my
own. I have my cousin Zoe, and her dad left on my dad’s side. On my mom’s side
I have her sister, Uncle Kevin, and my cousin Raven that is it. I have my best
friend Geoff. He is in a band, and he is a tattoo artist. His band is going to
play next weekend. Opening up for St. James. I really like St. James. I love
the lead singers’ voice, very sexy. That
is going to be an awesome show. I’m so happy for Geoff’s band to get this
chance to play on such a great bill and on a Friday night.
My first night in my new place was nice, clear of yelling,
people opening the community shower on you. The smell of vomit in the hallway.
No more dorm life for me. I do miss Kami, she was my roommate at Harvard for
four years. Kami is a crazy wild girl. She a little naïve, but I love her
dearly. I’m just glad that I’m alone, to be able to walk around your house
naked if you want. Not having to share food, someone using all of your shampoo
and not telling you. Urrrg! Not anymore baby I’m a big girl, in the big world.
I wake up to a nice quiet house. I smell coffee; I fell in
love with coffee studying in school. Boston Common Coffee is my favorite, along
with Mike’s pastries. The chocolate chip cannolis, (sigh) so amazing.
Today is my state bar test. I’m ready for this. As I walk in
to take my test, I take a deep breath, and I can smell jasmine. That is my Moms
perfume she always wore. I just hope she is here with me.
I walk into a very dark hallway, the smell has my stomach in
knots, and kinda makes me sick. I pass by signs pointing me in the direction to
the exams. This is a large room, and everyone has the same look on their face.
Yep, we are all scared to fucking death.
After four hours of
test taking. Sweating bullets stomach turning, freaking the fuck out. It is
only the state bar exam not like the end of the world... Well yes it is, it is
my world, the only world that I want. I have always wanted to be a lawyer. I
can tell that my heart is started to beat like a bunny having sex, I just don’t
want to pass out like they do. I need to
get out, and have a glass of wine or a beer, and some fun wouldn’t hurt. I’m
very happy that this Friday is the day that Geoff’s band is playing.
I spend the next couple of days sending out resumes, making
calls, and checking on the internships that I have applied for. I have sent out
all my thank you cards for graduation. My Aunt Di and Uncle Kevin sent me a
very nice picture of Mom, Dad, and me the day we all were in North Carolina for
the opening of the new Race shop that they own.
It was a cool Friday night in the city. The way I was
dressed you would think I might freeze.
I was ready for Geoff’s band to hit the big time. This was
the first time they opened up for a Platinum selling band. This was going to be
the big break that they needed. I’m a huge supporter Geoff’s Band. I have made
all my best friends the same way, we all groupies of Geoff’s band.
I always liked to be a creative girl. I was always making
custom outfits for all my friends. I was always getting asked to make something
crazy for someone. Tonight, I was sporting a very sexy black buckle corset
halter top. I love taking new things and making them my own creation. This one
will show off my newest tattoo. I just love my large sexy dominatrix fairy. I
liked the way that sprawled up my right shoulder.
Before my friends get here, I better go check my face.
Every time I look in the mirror I see my mother looking at
me; knowing that if she were here she would be saying.
“Skyclad you’re a beautiful girl with a heart shaped face,
and those bright blue eyes. Why do you have that smokey eye shadow, just be
neutral. Your beautiful dark black hair makes your blue eyes sparkle.” I do
miss her complaining about my makeup.
The buzzer rings and I run to push the button so my friends
can get out of the elevator. This building is very up to date, the elevators
are straight to the apartments above the tenth floor. To get up to the
apartments you had to have a key or buzzed in. This was part of the perks of
the apartment. Security was always on high alert in the apartment building.
I’m so excited that everyone is here ready to go cheer on
Geoff and his band. Geoff is a sexy Tall
6’3” long curly haired well-built sexy as fuck. He has big shoulders and long
blond hair. He looks like a sexy lead singer. He worked out two to three times
a day getting ready for shows. Not only is my best friend he is my Tattoo
artist. Geoff is the full on rock god he has full sleeves, and a large goddess
on his back with a blue sky.
Geoff lived next door to me growing up. My house was the big
haunted house. That is what everyone called it. I was an only child, so growing
next door to Geoff, we became best friends he was like my brother. Geoff always
took care of me, and he was very protective of me. I was always trying to find Geoff a girl, but
never had any luck. He never gave two
shits about the ones that I would pick for him.
Geoff and I tried to date once in high school but it was too weird. We
are better at being best friends and that was where it had to stay.
Our house had been in the family for centuries. My mom was
born into a family with a long history in the Pagan world. My 5 times
great-grandmother was a witch, and she was burned at the stake in Salem.
I was a different and difficult person. I was the kind of
girl that loved to have her independence, but still needed to be held. I was a
book worm, and always had my nose in a book of some kind. My grandmother was an
Author and has written many books about life as a witch. I would sit for hours
and read them over, and over just to feel the memory of her family. After my
Mom and Dad died in the plane crash, all I had in Boston was my friends, Zoe,
and Uncle Danny on my dad’s side? I have always been an independent person.
When I was a little girl I never played with dolls. I was always hanging out
with Geoff, and watching him play his guitar.
As the elevator start its ascent I hear loud voices, loud
singing, and laughing coming up the elevator. Just about everyone in the
apartment building could hear them. The elevator opens, and they come barreling
in like a bat out of hell.

Lucky Girl – How I survived the Sex Industry By Violet Lvy
Lucky
Girl – How I survived the Sex Industry
By Violet Ivy
Synopsis/
The intimate
autobiography of an international call girl. Scary, funny and bizarre stories
recorded for your amusement, edification or simply for interesting dinner
conversation.
The sex industry is
clouded in mystery. It has to be to some extent or it wouldn’t survive. But in
this age of internet porn, buying pubic hair trimmings online and wife swapping
parties it’s about time the veils of mystery were taken down.
For moralists, let’s
visit the chicken and the egg scenario. Which came first the prostitute or the
client? If there were no clients then obviously there would be no sex workers.
But what if there weren’t any prostitutes? Would guys wank themselves silly to
porn? Harass their post-menopausal wives? Frequent bars trying their luck? Or
hassle the secretary and risk being charged with sexual harassment? Would
statistics for rape be on the increase? Is prostitution a necessary evil in our
society? Don’t mindlessly believe and quote information spoon fed to you by
friends, family or the media. Make an educated decision.
Although it was never
my intention to get into this industry, I’ve travelled the world, had
incredible experiences and bought several properties. I won’t have to rely on
the government pension when I retire.
My closest friends
are co-workers, madams and clients. Brilliant people who I would never
otherwise have had the good fortune to meet. I will never regret my
decision to enter this field. It has not always been a bed of roses, but when I
compare it to what my life might have been; cleaning job, shitty boss,
marriage, perhaps divorce, mortgage, kids, living in the burbs, scraping by to
give my kids a better life than I was destined for, I feel that I have been
rescued…..thank God.
Blurb
Money doesn’t make
you happy? Tell that to someone thrown out of his house because he can’t make
the payments or the mother who can’t afford Christmas presents for her kids again this year. I’ve been poor. Money
equals choices. Options of how to
travel on this journey we call life. Did I make some mistakes? Sure! But
there’s not too much I’d change. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Money gives security. Poverty causes ulcers. Financial hardship can also make
you compromise yourself in ways that being a sex worker never will.
This industry eats
its young and damages those not strong enough to cope. Every worker has a
different personality, head space, upbringing, personal history and therefore
experience. This book is a glimpse of mine. I am not advocating anyone join the
profession. That is a personal choice.
When I started out I
could never have imagined what my life journey would look like or where I would
be now. I don’t even know where in the world I will be in twelve months. What I
will be doing? Who I might be bonking, caning or smearing with hot wax?
Exciting isn’t it? Carpe diem – seize the day. I’m a lucky girl.

Industry” is available as a paperback or E-book version;

Author bio
Violet
Ivy grew up on a small wheat and sheep farm in the outback of Western
Australia. A spray of freckles across her nose, pigtails streaming down her
back as she swam naked in the local creek to cool off during the endless
summers.
Who
could have predicted her transformation into one of the world’s most elite,
international escorts? The wanton woman satisfying the needs and desires of the
most affluent men and women of the globe.
Life
was not always easy for Violet. Hers is a rags-to-riches story from the seedy
brothels of the mining town Kalgoorlie to attending the Kentucky Derby and the
Oscars on the arms of the most influential men on the face of the planet.
Violet
continues to work in an industry that can either make or break it's players.
She has had to learn how to adapt and hone her expertise to climb to the top of
her game. Based in Melbourne, Australia, where sex work is legal, she travels
to far flung places, (if the money's right), as either a courtesan or a fetish
Mistress, fulfilling her clients' needs and desires. Encouragement from friends
and family to share her adventures led her to begin a series of books exposing
the realities behind the veil of the oldest profession in the world. She
introduces her readers to myriad bizarre, scary and hilarious people and
situations she comes across in her travels.
Read what other esteemed authors are saying about
Violet Ivy’s Debut novel…
‘From
the opening paragraph to the final words I was hooked, no pun intended. Frankly
there is no other book like Lucky Girl whether one reaches for Diary of a Call
Girl or The Happy Hooker. Well, there is one comparison...the work of Nancy
Friday who wrote in a similar fashion. When one writes about bondage and
discipline it is necessary to keep in mind the sensibilities of readers who may
not understand these matters. For me it was an eye-opener. Lucky Girl gave me
an understanding of B&D that now makes complete sense to me. People should
read this and understand the life and mind of a sex worker. It becomes obvious
very quickly that not all are uneducated drug addicts who can't hold down a job
anywhere else. I look forward to the follow up books. Violet Ivy is a writer,
and that is the highest praise any reviewer can give. To possess such talent
suggests that Violet Ivy is indeed a Lucky Girl.’
Graham
Whittaker, Author, The Girl from Kosovo
‘…gripped me from the start …very readable,
an honest account of someone 'who's been there'. An important work worth
publication.’
Ruko
Kitamaru, Author, No Ice Cream in the
Land of the Cannibals
‘I read every chapter and want more. A
fascinating look into your world presented with straight forward honesty,
warmth and colour. Such a fresh contrast to the drab, dark or dirty shades that
the media and society paints your career. I’m completely fascinated to know
more about Violet, she's so real.’
K Malone, Author, Twell
K Malone, Author, Twell
‘I was interested in comparing this with
Belle de Jour’s books which I read last year. Whilst I remember almost nothing
of hers, I’m pretty sure parts of your diary will stay with me. You’re not
afraid to tell it as it is; warts, unpleasant odours and all!’
Camac Johnson, Author, Hemingway Quest
Camac Johnson, Author, Hemingway Quest
‘A light and humorous but overall compelling
biography….an in depth and revealing picture of the life of a sex worker, at
the same time demonstrating that someone working in this industry has the
talent and perspicacity to write a biography of this quality. Well done…..it’s
really very good.’
Janet Holt and Helen Parker, Authors, The Stranger In My Life
Janet Holt and Helen Parker, Authors, The Stranger In My Life
What readers are saying about Lucky Girl – How I
Survived the Sex Industry
‘Is this woman real? She must be.
You couldn’t make this story up. I feel that I know her, the way she thinks,
her motivations. Can’t wait for the sequel.’….Mel H, Birmingham, England
‘A real page turner.’…..George W, Ontario, Canada
‘More, more….more please! I got
to the end and still wanted to keep reading. Fantastic!’ Irene K, Sydney, Australia
‘Very Belle de Jour.’ Fred C, Port Douglas, Australia
‘Good to see the Aussie
perspective. You go girl! Can I take you out for a drink sometime? I know
you’ve got more stories to tell.’ Dirk
