For porn stars, "coming out" is a process that never ends. To the uninitiated, the idea of a career in the adult film industry may come with stigma that porn performers and sex workers have long fought to shake off. For many, that fight begins with one awkward conversation. In this groundbreaking anthology, intimate essays by a diverse array of adult industry professionals relate the pain, pride, and surprises that accompanied their experiences coming out about their work. In addition to sharing the rich and varied personal stories of dozens of iconic performers, these essays explore myriad issues that characterize and complicate the modern porn field: the internet, including deepfakes, AI, OnlyFans, streaming, and social media; the inequity and fetishization faced by Black, Muslim, queer, disabled, and other marginalized performers, and the every-day legal injustice compromising sex workers' rights to live, earn, and bank. Edited by veteran industry professional Jiz Lee, and featuring a foreword by Samantha Cole, the second edition of Coming Out Like a Porn Star features new essays engaging with present and the crystallizing future of porn. Contributors include: Andre Shakti, Stoya, Bella Vendetta, Sinnamon Love, Siri Dahl, Joanna Angel, Kitty Stryker, Denali Winter, Nikki Silver, and more.

Lorel has always dreamed of becoming a witch: learning magic, healing the sick, fighting monsters, and exploring the world beyond her small town where she and her mother run the stables. Even though a strange plague is killing the trees in the Kingdom of Cekon and witches are being blamed for it, Lorel wants nothing more than to join them. There's only one problem: all witches are women, and she was born a boy. When the coven comes to claim her best friend, Lorel disguises herself in a dress and joins in her friend's place, leaving home and her old self behind. She soon discovers the dark powers confronting the kingdom: a magical blight scars the land, and the power-mad Duchess Helte is crushing everything between her and the crown. In spite of the chaos, Lorel makes friends and begins learning about magic from the powerful witches in her coven. However, she fears that her new friends and mentors will find out her secret and kick her out of the coven, or worse. In the gripping first novel in the Daughters of the Empty Throne trilogy, author Margaret Killjoy spins a tale of earth magic, power struggle, and self-invention, an own-voices story of trans witchcraft.
