Bio
I am a writer and a performer and the author of the soon-to-be released novel, AMERICAN COURTESAN, published by Antagonist Press. AMERICAN COURTESAN is the story of a struggling Brooklyn musician who, in a moment of financial need fueled by sexual fantasy, decides to become a prostitute using an online bulletin board called Bobsboard to hawk her wares. You can read more about it at, pre-order it, or follow my blog at esteramyfischer.com. I also have a band, Ester Amy Fischer and the Drastic Measures. I live part-time in Brooklyn and part-time in the magical mountains of Western North Carolina.
