Whats A Nice Boy Like Him Doing in a Place Like That?! The REAL Life of Porn Stars Exposed. . . .

DOROTHY FROM KANSAS MEETS THE WIZARD OF X, new Book by multi-genre author, Linda Alexander, set to be released this fall.

But what if the tornado dropped Dorothy not into Oz, but onto the set of an X-rated film?

"Eric Edwards makes sex films. Period . . . Sex-on-command . . . Sex-for-hire. . . ."

So begins the story of Eric Edwards, Mr. Everyman of X-rated films, an adult film industry icon. Yet Eric Edwards is also a regular guy who deals with the same ordinary problems as everyone else. This book tells of an odd camaraderie between Edwards, a porn icon, and Linda Alexander, a freelance writer. Alexanders curiosity took her on a journey into a sexual world about which she knew nothing. She, an awakening "Dorothy," and Eric Edwards, a celebrated adult film star since 1969 in his own "Oz," were an unlikely pair, but through interviews and day-to-day living they became friends, protective of each other.

This non-pornographic look behind the X-rated camera includes voices of industry insiders to offer a non-judgmental look into this most mysterious, misunderstood faction of film entertainment. Some of the bigger names interviewed for the book: Gloria Leonard, Tom Byron, William Margold, Candida Royalle, Renee Summers, and Ashlyn Gere.

Lindas public appearances include: The Sally Jesse Raphael Show, and Attitudes with Linda Dano on Lifetime Cable. She was seen on the Oprah show in 1991 after writing a letter about the horrors of psychological child abuse. A panel was assembled and a show aired based on her letter.

As an entertainment writer, Lindas interview subjects have included: film actors Jim Varney, Robert Stack and Peter Coyote, oldies singer Gary Puckett, late soap actor Michael Zaslow, and soap actress/writer/television host, Linda Dano.
