She's a 33 year old Chicana Femme Dyke, performance and visual artist, poet, writer and bruja. She's performed sola at many venues up and down the West Coast. She founded and performed with the Fierce Pussy Posse Cabaret Theatre Company from 1997-2000, in Eugene, Oregon. In San Francisco, she performed in Liquid Fire 2000, 2001 & 2004, in several performances of "Wet", an erotic cabaret by Lesbians of Color from 2000-2004, in many shows at Lunasea Women's Theater from 2000-2003, with Debauchery, a queer performance group from 2001-2003, and in "Please Don't Stop" and "Voluptuous Vixens", two movies celebrating the erotic lives of Lesbians of Color.

In 2006 she graduated from City College of San Francisco's Nursing Program and participated in and performed for the the San Fransicso Femme Conference. Her movie, "Las Mañanitas" (The Little Tomorrows) about her relationship as a queer Chicana Femme Dyke with her Drag Queen Nana showed at the Queer Women of Color Film Festival and Frameline LGBTQ Int'l Film Festival in June of 2007. She is currently working on an autobiographical movie about a Queer Femme Dyke and her FTM wife who is transitioning while they are also trying to become pregnant.
Jen Cross is a femme dyke incest survivor and smut writer. Her erotica has appeared in a plethora of anthologies, including, most recently, Nobody Passes, Best Women's Erotica 2007, Naughty Spanking Stories A-Z 2, as well as on CleanSheets.com. Based in the Bay Area, she's featured at such lascivious events as Sizzle, Writers With Drinks, the National Queer Arts Festival, Queer Open Mic. She participated in the smutty part of last year's LitQuake LitCrawl, pouring out porn for a capacity crowd at GoodVibes. She's is a co-collaborator in the dyke erotica collective Dirty Ink, and, because she cannot get enough dirty words, leads erotic writing workshops and co-facilitates (with Carol Queen) a monthly Erotic Reading Circle at the Center for Sex and Culture. Jen writes to release, transform, and create space for as much unspoken erotica as possible, and is a firm believer in the transformative power of smut.
