LOS ANGELES—AVN Hall of Famer Joanna Angel on Monday announced the upcoming release of her second novel, Club 42: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy, available now for pre-order here and from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indie Bound and all other major book retailers. "While most people know me fro my accolades in the adult film world, I have actually also spent just as much time at a strip club as I have on a film set," Angel said. "Working as a house dancer in New York City in the early 2000s was how I earned the finds to produce my first several BurningAngel movies, and that time in my life was truly eye-opening and transformative. "While this book is fiction, the characters were inspired by all the different people I'd met over the years at the strip clubs—from the dancers to the managers, DJs and customers. I poured every ounce of crativity in my brain and body into this work of fiction, and I can't wait for it to be out in the world for people to read." Set for realease February 9, 2021 through Cleis Press, this follow-up to Angel's 2018 debut novel Night Shift: A Choose-Your-Own Erotic Fantasy follows the adventures of protagonist Naomi, a Brooklyn hipster who finds her life forever changed when she gets fired from her barista job and wanders into a strip club called Club 42. On a whim, Naomi auditions to become a dancer, and what happens next is up to the reader.

"Night Shift made it to Cosmopolitan's list of '36 Legitimately Good Erotic Novels You Must Read,' and reached Amazon's Best Sellers list within days of release. "Reviewers and critics across the nation regarded Angel's first novel as an honest, insightful and inclusive work of fiction.
