A gripping memoir that strips away the illusions of adult entertainment to reveal the man behind the myth.
For decades, Tommy Gunn’s name has been synonymous with adult entertainment, captivating millions while living in the spotlight of one of society’s most controversial industries. But behind the carefully crafted on-screen persona lies a story of profound human complexity—one of triumph and defeat, resilience and vulnerability, survival and transformation.
In this unflinching memoir, Tommy takes readers inside Porn Valley and beyond, revealing the industry he describes as a “casino”—alluring from the outside, nearly impossible to leave once you’re in. Through candid reflections on his journey, he explores the weight of public perception, the challenge of maintaining an authentic identity in a world of manufactured fantasy, and the courage required to confront the labels society places on us.
This isn’t just another tell-all about adult entertainment. It’s a deeply human story about finding yourself when the world demands you wear a mask. Tommy’s narrative transcends the industry that made him famous, offering insights into identity, judgment, and the universal struggle between who we are and who we’re expected to be.
Raw, honest, and surprisingly hopeful, this memoir challenges readers to look beyond stigma and stereotype to see the complex humanity that exists in every life story—including their own.
Tepris Press
In December of 2019, it all began with a simple direct message on Twitter. Two unpublished writers sharing small pieces of their work. It wasn’t long before they moved on to talking about the future and what it was going to take to put their work out into the world – editing, cover design, looking for an agent v. self-publishing, marketing, ISBN numbers…the list went on and on.
Just a few months later, the early stages of Tepris Press began to form around one solid mission statement – the presentation and professionalism of traditionally published books from an indie press.
Today, the drive and passion Nikki Anderson and Jon Ford feel about the Tepris Press books they offer is evident on every page of their stories. From Jon’s fantastical, epic tales of Fae and Ice Giants to Nikki’s sultry, sizzling relationships with a twist, you’re sure to be swept away into adventure and romance.

Nikki Anderson
NT Anderson has lived in multiple countries and states and is currently hunkered down in the Endless Mountain Region of the Northeast US. Her chosen professional path was restaurant management and hospitality services until 2009 when she turned her passion for writing into a career as a content creator. In 2019, she took it several steps farther by diving into the world of fiction. Nikki can usually be found keeping odd hours, spending time with family and friends, talking to the characters in her head via candlelight, and plotting her next adventure. Several furbabies keep her on her toes, including two spoiled dogs, a pudgy cat, and a feisty horse. She fancies herself to be a pirate, especially on Saturday nights when she breaks out the rum.
