But there s a good chance you ve heard of Vivian Wood, Kate s pen name created by the way by a "mellow yat guy" . Vivian is the creator of a range of titles like "Noah s Revelation," "Gavin s Salvation," and "Taken By The Pack." These novels and novellas mostly feature covers of men who are "ripped" but not necessarily "driven" or "got their sh t together" which is the kind of guy Kate not Vivian is looking for. If you ve ever wondered it might be like spending all day every day in a sex fantasy, Kate like Noah has some revelations. And if you re wondering what men say to an erotic novelist and what kind of insight Kate has gotten about what men and women really want listen up. Alex McConduit is going straight home from this conversation to take a nap with Kate or alone at the time of writing was TBD then get up and launch his career as an erotic novelist under the name Chuck Wood.

Josh Ray from the band Hazy Ray shows up at Happy Hour with his guitar, his wife, and his 18 day old daughter, Evangelina Grace. Yes, 18 day old. As the new dad of a daughter Josh is suddenly looking at the implications of female fantasies from a whole new angle.

This is one of the most educational and informative conversations you will ever overhear in a bar anywhere, though your definitions of "educational" and "informative" have to run fairly wide of the traditional meanings of information and education. Perhaps "revealing" would be a better word choice, but we ll leave that up to the novelists. Photos at Wayfare by Alison Moon.
