Sweet Talkers
A rare, completely honest look behind the provocative advertisements and 970 prefixes that have come to symbolize an American obsession. Kathleen K. ran a phone sex company in the late '80s, and she opens up her diary for a very thought-provoking peek at the life of a phone sex operator and reveals a number of secrets and surprises. Because far from being a sleazy, underground scam, the service Kathleen provides goes straight to the heart of the American sexual zeitgeist. Transcripts of actual conversations are included.

About the author
Kathleen K.
16 books19 followersKathleen K. has created a diverse library of Private Publications available through KathleenKBooks.com. THE LUNARIUM (One man's memories of the watchers and the watched) was NAMED TO KIRKUS REVIEWS' BEST OF 2013. Her eclectic collection features a mix of narrative fiction centered on family life, character study, literate erotica and a pair of counterculture fictional memoirs of Stoner.
Kirkus Reviews calls STAINLESS MARY “a witty and wise read, especially for fans of tough-minded heroines.” Kirkus Reviews is an independent reviewing service that Kathleen K. trusts for an honest expert opinion on all her books. Click here for her author page at KirkusReviews.com
Transplanted to the Pacific Northwest from the Great Lakes basin, she is a product of the small press-poetry culture with a background in alternative publishing. Her vivid use of language captures characters while life itself provides the twists and turns.
She has mastered make-believe. She makes you believe she's a tow truck driver who falls in love with a shattered family. She makes you believe she's a grocer with an after-hours fondness for pot and sex. She makes you believe she's an accountant hijacked in her car after work hearing the words: You, Drive North.
Kathleen K. drops readers into situations as diverse as the world of Honey B., Sexual Consultant, and of Baby Girl Battersea, fatherless heir to a family fortune in the clutches of her selfish uncle. These books are not linked by theme or genre, this is a rich collection of all-age and adults-only offerings comprising decades of production.
Sharp dialog, elegant prose and a sassy attitude give the audience credit for reading between, around and beyond the lines. Consistently praised for her ability to capture tone and emotion, Kathleen K. is a strong voice in contemporary fiction.
Becoming available for the first time in print and Kindle format, these Private Publications are varied in topic but easily identifiable as Words Arranged by Kathleen K.
Recognizing the varying tastes and tolerances in the reading world, there are two sites provided for reader comfort representing two sides of the emerging collection with eight of the twelve books available to buy.
