There should probably be an article on [[Exit to Eden]], since this is her only openly BDSM non-fairy-tale book (though I seem to remember at the time that posters on alt.sex.bondage found the book only middling, and the movie somewhat ridiculous).

They can't all be spoofs or hacked!  Ref 3 says she "was named “Howard Allen O’Brien”, presumably as a political gesture by her parents ... Her parents, both working-class intellectuals, provided an environment unrestricted by consideration of gender and convention". [[User:Speedoslover|Speedoslover]] 22:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
