"Through the highs of passion, the lows of financial strain, and the harsh realities of erotic labor, Kristin fights to reclaim her sense of self."
Austin TX—Author of Rock Monster: My Life with Joe Walsh, Kristin Casey, extends her memoirist recollection of the period of her life after her relationship with the rock legend.
Her new book, Casey Dancer, is the true story of one newly sober woman's attempt to launch into the complicated world of romance, sex, and intimacy. Much like her yoga practice which serves as an overarching metaphor, finding a balance between strength and flexibility is something that all women strive for.

"This sizzler of a book is literally fifty shades of play. Written by former stripper, former celebrity rock star girlfriend and successful internet escort Kristin Casey, it details her life as she winds through mattress hopping with a variety of men from friends, lovers, customers and a multitude of others." —John J. Kelly, Detroit Free Press, 5-Stars
Beginning chronologically in 2007, Kristin recalls her series of flings and her first real relationship after Joe Walsh with a man named Lalo. Their relationship is full of ups and downs, and ultimately, Kristin has to decide what her values are and whether or not the tumultuous relationship is worth it. Her experiences in dating are ultimately learning experiences and provide a rich opportunity for self-exploration. During this time, she worked as a realtor, stripper, writer, and yoga coach, and ultimately finds her value through non-traditional yet remarkably fulfilling means.
"This snapshot of a few years will lead readers on a whirlwind introspection filled with musings on human nature, relationships, learning to love one's self, and how an unconventional life can be a personally rewarding one." —Kathryn Picard, Librarian Book Connoisseur
Her blog posts from the time offer a unique insight, providing her thoughts in real-time while also allowing her to reflect in the present day. Kristin Casey is a natural writer, and her book is a reflection of her comedy and entertainment skills, while also pulling at the heartstrings and offering real life lessons for women. "It's Sex and the City meets Bridget Jones's Diary if Bridget was a 40-year-old stripper desperately trying to make it as Carrie the writer," Kristin says.
"Casey Dancer dares to ask the difficult questions, embracing the messy, beautiful, and sometimes painful realities of being human. It is a celebration of resilience, a testament to the strength found in vulnerability, and an invitation for readers to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery." —Chris Epting, memoirist and author of Where One Hears the Rain and more
The narrative is broken down into three parts; Kristin covers three key ideas for healthy relationships—vulnerability, authenticity, and boundary-setting—as they connect to her relationships and career. In Kristin's own words: "Casey Dancer is about busting my ass to achieve my dreams while simultaneously striving to overcome the fear of intimacy through a series of trysts, flings, affairs, and relationships, where I make every mistake in the book and get a handful of things right along the way." Sexy, emotional, and deeply personal, Casey Dancer is a must-read!
"Reading Casey's book provides a 'confessional' that invites entry into the psyche of professional 'satisfiers'—one of the best written revelations of a world too infrequently explored. Her skillful scriptive technique encourages understanding and empathy." —Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Hall of Fame Reviewer, 5-Stars
