I’ve written a memoir of my experiences with Pansy Division. It’s called Deflowered: My Life In Pansy Division, and was released in March 2009, published by Cleis Press, a queer San Francisco publishing house.

While the recent Pansy Division documentary gives an excellent overview of band, the book is a far more detailed account of our 18+ year history. In the past when I’ve related various stories about the band, I often heard, “you should write a book.” So I did!  I think I even remembered all the good stories.  I believe it’s entertaining in its own right, but even more, it’s a really good companion to the film.

                                               

                                                                       

Following the book’s release, I did a cross country book tour, 46 cities! In some cities I had screenings of the film in conjunction with book appearances, and I brought my acoustic guitar along to the performances and played a few songs.

Though my book tour is over, if you know of a place that would be interested in showing the film or hosting a reading, please contact Jon at pansydivisionmail ( at ) gmail.com.
