Eek! It's the last weekend of summer... how can that be? Back to school, back to work and I'm rolling into fall with a full schedule, which you can see below.

Many of you have been emailing me asking when The Belly Dance Handbook will be published. Excited to announce that the release date for that book is November 11, 2013. I can't wait for you to see it- it's been a labor of love and I hope you enjoy it!
In the meantime, I have another book coming out under my given name, Pleasant Gehman. It's a collection of short stories that is a memoir, called Showgirl Confidential: My Life Onstage, Backstage And On The Road. It is published by Punk Hostage Press at the end of September, 2013. This book includes crazy touring and on-the-road stories from my wild days in punk rock to belly dancing in Egypt, from film shoots to burlesque escapades-you've seen a couple of them on this blog... Both books will be available on Amazon.com and through my website.

I'm also excited to announce that next year, as well as doing my own "solo" dates, I'll be touring with master percussionist Issam Houshan! He was the very first drummer I ever worked with and after years of working separately, we're reuniting. We've cooked up a bunch of cool workshops and we are now booking dates now for next year and 2015. For info please email:
