From the foreword by Paul Levinson:

"In the 21st century, Second Life and kindred avatar systems have endowed online sexuality with a graphic component.  But text, irrepressible, was never far from the surface.  In Michelle Anderson's Venice Is For Lovers, text is back in the saddle...though no metaphor or allusion in her sizzling book is as worn as that."

Venice Is For Lovers is the print portion of The Miracle In July: A Digital Love Story, an experiment in multimedia publishing.  Hot and dark, the semiautobiographical work tells the story of a relationship that began online, between people 9 time zones and 5000 miles apart.  Michelle Rae Anderson was a writer who didn't write, and nursing a broken heart, when she met Daniel, who began their online affair with a story.  The exchange of stories led to a passionate international love affair that grew far beyond mere erotic taleswapping.  Michelle will answer questions about her efforts to create connections between print and online publishing when she signs Venice Is For Lovers.
