ISADORA’S BOOKS
WRITTEN UNDER PEN NAME, SEPHE HAVEN
“WITH CANDOR AND HONESTY, SEPHE HAVEN LEADS READERS INTO THE DILEMMAS OF HER LIFE ALONG WITH THE DIFFICULT CHOICE OF TAKING THE PATH OF AN ESCORT“
MY WHORIZONTAL LIFE: AN ESCORT’S TALE
“BOLD, SIZZLING, AND CANDIDLY NARRATED”
“My Whorizontal Life: An Escort’s Tale” is the award-winning true story of a gifted actress, fresh out of Juilliard and drowning in debt, who is suddenly rejected by every casting director, because she looks too “un-Hollywood”. As financial woes overwhelm her, she takes what she thinks will be a limited leap into the underground world of escorting, but finds it’s not so easy to get out.
Or maybe, she doesn’t want to?
My Whorizontal Life is the first book in a growing series and spans the first important six months entering the escort world.
A Someday Courtesan
“SEPHE HAVEN’S WRITING IS VISCERAL, EMOTIONALLY POTENT, SO BEAUTIFULLY VULNERABLE, AND RAW. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN.”
A Someday Courtesan is the award-winning prequel to “My Whorizontal Life: An Escort’s Tale” written by Sephe Haven. It’s the devastatingly honest account of the wide-reaching societal impacts on girlhood development and what it means to grow up ‘girl’ in America.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” “A prostitute!” said no girl ever.
Decades into her life as a secret courtesan, Sephe Haven is asking herself, how did this become my life?
MY WHORIZONTAL LIFE: The Show!
MY INDEX TO SEX PODCAST
Each week, former escort, and award-winning writer, Sephe Haven picks out an index card from her box. Every index card contains the handwritten details of a client she saw, or was warned to avoid.
The resulting podcast is a quirky, and utterly female perspective of this work. Each episode uncovers broad lessons on sexuality, relationships, and the quirks of men that are only shown when they think no one is looking.
