Elci North

Originally, I planned to publish “The Auction” under my real name, but then the character Angelica started speaking in my head, and she has a foul mouth. There is nothing my mother hates more than the “F” word. If she knew I used curse words in a book, it would crush her.

Emily Nagoski

The official bio is:
"Emily Nagoski has a PhD in Health Behavior with a doctoral concentration in human sexuality from Indiana University (IU), and a master’s degree (also from IU) in Counseling, with a clinical internship at the Kinsey Institute Sexual Health Clinic. She has taught graduate and undergraduate classes in human sexuality, relationships and communication, stress management, and sex education."

It's a small goal in the grand scheme of things - I'm not trying to bring peace to the Middle East or repair the ozone layer - but it's a goal that I think truly does have the power to change lives and, ultimately, the world.
