Frisky Business will be released soon. It's the fourth book in the Sasha Jackson Mysteries series. This time around, PI Sasha Jackson is investigating the death of a porno star.
No doubt, someone will comment on the fact that throughout the book, I refer to the female porn stars as ACTRESSES rather than using the gender neutral term ACTOR.
This was a deliberate choice.
One of the themes in Frisky Business is the exploitation of women in the sex trade in general, but particularly in the world of XXX films.
Yes, I am sure that many people who work in that industry get treated poorly, regardless of gender. But, I think it's a fair comment to say that women are exploited more often than men in this milieu. So, in recognition of that and to draw a distinction, I have used the term ACTRESS when I am talking about the females.
