The
Wallingford, Connecticut native’s new book, “Cherry
Bomb: The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Better Flirt, a Tougher
Chick, and a Hotter Girlfriend, and to Living Life Like a
Rock Star” was released on Aug. 5, 2008 via Simon
& Schuster’s Simon Spotlight Entertainment. The
non-fiction book is an A-to-Z reference for everything an
edgy girl needs to know, including the obvious (style, beauty,
dating, and sex tips) and the not-so-obvious (how to prepare
Absinthe, how to hit on a celebrity, how to sneak backstage
at a concert). It’s a girl’s guide with a difference;
one that shows readers how to identify, go after, and get
whatever they want in life, be it a hot guy, a great job,
multiple orgasms, or a sexy new look—all while marching
to her own (rock) beat.
Borzillo-Vrenna currently writes the advice column "Miss Truth Hurts" and feature interviews for SuicideGirls.com, freelances for RollingStone.com, and is working on her third book, a joint autobiography of porn star Tera Patrick and her rockstar husband Evan Seinfeld. She has also written recent press kit bios for P!nk, Lady Gaga, Von Iva, and others. The author lives in the Eagle Rock area of Los Angeles with her Grammy®
Award-winning husband Chris Vrenna, who plays keyboards with Marilyn Manson.
