The Not So Invisible Woman

Middle-aged single mother and entertainment publicist Suzanne Portnoy leads a double life. Monday to Friday, she’s a professional executive devoted to her two adolescent boys. But at weekends she spends her kid-free hours having sex, with a different man each time. Or multiple men.

Picking up where her first book, “The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir”, left off, this memoir finds Suzanne both confronting the consequences, and enjoying the fruits, of her notoriety as the bestselling author of an erotic memoir.From a coked-up rock star to an uptight millionaire, to a hunky stripper, Suzanne attracts plenty of men wherever she goes, particularly once they learn her identity.

But just when Suzanne grows reconciled to the possibility of never settling down, she meets a man who wants to be more than one of her ‘friends.’ While debating whether to unload her ‘portfolio’ of men for the potential one true lover, this most unconventional woman ponders the most conventional question: has she found the fabled Mr. Right or will he prove to be just another in a long string of Mr. Wrongs?

The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir

“I have the house, two kids, glamorous media job, but no boyfriend. My mother always said, “If you don’t ask, you don’t get,” and it was with this thought in mind, I embarked on a series of casual one-on-one encounters, swinging and pervy sex - the sole purpose being to have a good time. No commitment, no ‘I’ll phone you later’, no expectation of any further contact…unless I wanted there to be.The journey of self-discovery started back when I was a promiscuous 17-year-old, but it wasn’t until years later when I met a New Yorker on the internet through an email exchange that I understood my sexuality. We eventually met and during the course of our 18 month affair worked our way through the spectrum of perversions, including exhibitionism, group sex, fetish clubs and watching hours of porn.”

The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir is the story of my sexual reawakening - from losing my virginity to a loveless marriage and then regaining my confidence as a result of a chance meeting with a man 3000 miles away met on the internet.

My journey of self-discovery is anything but typical; my attitudes towards relationships and the men I meet along the way are even more unusual.
