Figure Skater, Performer Coralyn Jewel Releases Memoir

LOS ANGELES — Figure-skater-turned-adult-performer Coralyn Jewel has released a memoir, "When The Ice Melts: The Story of Coralyn Jewel." The tome chronicles her life's journey from Olympic figure skating hopeful, to theatrical production major in college, to adult performer and founder of a swingers club.

"Four years ago I was approached by a journalist for an interview," Jewel said. "After hearing about how I ended up working in the adult industry, he said my story needed to be told so others can learn from me — and we can hopefully put a stop to some common misconceptions about adult performers. The book tells my story from emigrating from South Africa at age three, to private school, Olympic hopeful, and my path through marriage, divorce, time at a brothel, director, performer and the swinger lifestyle. The book is sure to keep the reader's interest."

Speaking of "When The Ice Melts," publisher Kathy Kidd offered that "Coralyn’s vulnerable honesty shows the humanity in the adult industry. Her desire to educate the average person about the industry, as well as her passion for freedom of sexual expression, is evident in her book.”

“It's a must-read,” Kidd added.

Four years in the making, the book is based on a series of interviews with Jewel, touching on the turning points in her life. "A lot of the things I got involved with, I didn’t plan at all," Jewel said. "I never expected to start a swing club, much less be a divorced mom running a swing club."

"I am a good person and although many will judge my story even after reading it, I am proud of the woman I am, the mother I am, the daughter I am, and the sister and friend I am,” she added. “I am me — Coralyn Jewel — and I stand behind my name and the woman I am today."

"When The Ice Melts" is scheduled for release June 15. It will be available through online and brick-and-mortar retailers, and a same-day e-book release is planned.
