  Themes of unspoiled paradise tamed by progress can be seen in stories about pioneer history across the US, especially in Florida. Selling Vero Beach explores how settlers from northern states created myths about the Indian River area on Florida's Atlantic Coast, importing ideas about the region's Indigenous peoples and marketing the land as an idyllic, fertile place of possibilities. 
   
   
   
  Kristalyn Shefveland describes how the Indian River Farms Company and other boosters painted the region as a wild frontier, conveniently accessible by train via Henry Flagler's East Coast Railway. Shefveland provides an overview of local Aís and Seminole histories that were rewritten by salespeople, illustrates how agricultural companies used Native peoples as motifs on their fruit products, and includes never-before-published letters between Vero Beach entrepreneur Waldo Sexton and writer Zora Neale Hurston that highlight Sexton's interest in story-spinning and sales. 
   
   
   
  Selling Vero Beach unpacks real and fabricated pasts, showing how the settler memory of Florida distorted or erased the fascinating actual history of the region. With a wide variety of stories invented to lure investors and tourists, many of which circulate to this day, Vero Beach is an intriguing example of why and how certain pasts were concocted to sell Florida land and products.

  Every porn scene is a record of people at work. But on-camera labor is only the beginning of the story. Porn Work takes listeners behind the scenes to explore what porn performers think of their work and how they intervene to hack it. Blending extensive fieldwork with feminist and anti-work theorizing, Porn Work details entrepreneurial labor on the boundaries between pleasure and tedium. Rejecting any notion that sex work is an aberration from straight work, it reveals porn workers' creative strategies as prophetic of a working landscape in crisis. In the end, it looks to what porn has to tell us about what's wrong with work, and what it might look like to build something better.

  2024 American Book Fest Award Winner 
  The five steps between you now ... and wow. 
  Let’s make one thing clear: You deserve sex that feels delicious. 
  Not dutiful. 
  Not rushed. 
  Not “well… that was fine.” 
  You. Me. Bed. NOW! is your no-drama, no-shame roadmap to turning good intentions into great intimacy. This award-winning workbook walks you through a powerful five-step process that shifts everything — how you think about sex, how you talk about it, and how you experience it. 
  Inside, you’ll uncover: 
  • Why you’re really having sex (and how to make that work for you) 
  • The sneaky blocks quietly stealing your pleasure 
  • What you actually want — not what you think you “should” want 
  • A ridiculously simple way to ask for the sex you crave 
  • How to receive pleasure without guilt, pressure, or overthinking 
  Inspired by the science-forward conversations of Emily Nagoski and the vulnerability research of Brené Brown — but far more hands-on — this workbook delivers practical exercises, real-life scenarios, and bold reflection prompts that fit into real, busy lives. 
  No awkward scripts. 
  No complicated techniques. 
  No becoming someone you’re not. 
  Just clarity. Confidence. And connection that makes You. Me. Bed. NOW! less of a fantasy … and more of a regular occurrence. 
  Ready?
