SUMMARY:Author Event with Lindsay Merbaum Author of Vampires at Sea
DESCRIPTION:Join Lindsay Merbaum as she discusses her book: smutty\, horror-comedy novella Vampires at Sea. The novella features a pair of chic emotional vampires on a queer Black Sea cruise\, where they meet the non-binary influencer of their dreams/ nightmares. Orgies and emotional mayhem ensue. Kristen Arnett called it “a treat” and “creepy\, sexy fun.” So far\, the book’s also gotten shoutouts from BookTrib and Book Riot\, \nAbout  Lindsay Merbaum: Queer author of strange tales and the founder of Pick Your Potions\, a spooky consortium of books\, drinks\, and witchery\, featuring the virtual independent study series the Study Coven. Her essays and drink recipes have appeared in Electric Literature\, the LA Review of Books\, Dame\, HuffPo\, Alcohol Professor\, Reactor\, and others. Her first novel\, The Gold Persimmon\, was a Foreword Indies finalist.\n@pickyourpotions \nMocktails will be served and also Drag performances by Diana Paradise\, Tango\, and Perry Dox. \nFlint native Diana Paradise has arrived! But don’t let the blonde hair fool you\, she’s more than just a great pair of legs…she’s also an incredible set of boobs! Diana won the crown of Miss Hauntiac in 2022 and is the perfect combination of funny\, sexy and spooky! So get ready\, this bombshell is ready to explode! \nTango is a West Michigan-based entertainer and the current reigning Mr. AmCab. Performing since 2010\, he’s appeared at Acting Ensemble in Mishawaka\, Rumors Nightclub in Grand Rapids\, and a few spots in Akron\, Ohio. Always up for an adventure\, he would like to use his platform to inspire the next generation to ”Get up\, Get involved and to be the best that they can be.” \nPerry Dox can best be described as Michigan’s Glamorous Clown. Seeing herself as a court jester for the world\, she has spent the last 10 years spreading color\, comedy & clownery to audiences. Coming all the way from the bricks in the 810\, her only mission is to make sure you leave her shows laughing & feeling higher than before. You can find her every single Friday hosting down NECTO pride in Ann Arbor\, opening for artists like Chappell Roan\, & fundraising to give back to the Michigan community she loves. You never know what you’re gonna get with the Perry Dox experience but one things for certain\, you’ll be viewing the world with rainbow lenses after.
