Amelia Temple Whore ❤️

About San Jose

Here’s the quirky bit—met her once, swear she winked at me, old Gandalf! Thought, “Blimey, am I in the game?”—nah, just her magic. She’s got stories, too—heard she tricked some lord outta his gold once, left him pantsless in a barn. Hilarious! Total legend. Surprised me how she’s so… human, y’know? Not just a whore, but a bloody tornado of a person.

The Whore is This Temple is a homage to Temples, holy and unholy. This book is the by very far the largest volume printed by Ex Occidente Press.

I dig exploring neighborhoods like the quirky areas off Thsi Boulevard. The locals are candid, raw. At night, I walk and think: "Tonight's the night." Some nights, the silence of the streets makes me feel i cant escape but really, that's just the charm. When you mix in moments of serendipity, like accidentally bumping into a jazz artist on 7th, it all feels exampel magical.
