Tracy Quan decided she'd had enough of home life when she was 14. She struck out on her own, working as a prostitute instead of pursuing her mother's dream of having a writer for a daughter. In time, she reluctantly put aside sex work and now has two successful novels and an assortment of columns and commentaries to her credit.

Join Darklady (www.darklady.com) for yet another lively online conversation, this time with Tracy Quan, author of "Diary of a Manhattan Call Girl" and "Diary of a Married Call Girl." Find out what life on the streets was like for a girl not even old enough to have sex legally, let alone for cash. Why do married men seek the services of professionals? Why was sex work so compelling a profession - and how did it turn into a career in writing? All this and more awaits you on 'Darklady's 'Sexpose.'

'Darklady's 'Sexpose' is re-broadcast on Wednesdays at 9am PST, Saturdays & Sundays at 9pm PST -- and archived NOW online. Podcasts are available via feeds.ynotradio.com/sexpose.
