A beautiful, blunt, honest, emotional, and funny behind the scenes look at an incredible actress/stuntwoman. A must read!”~ C. Harms“Pat Tallman's book Pleasure Thresholds is a frank and funny, self-deprecating collection of stories from her adventures as a stuntwoman and actress (and human being), with a focus on her years on Babylon 5. There are also many little bits sprinkled in about work on Star Trek(s), Jurassic Park, Long Kiss Goodnight, etc. She is a great story teller, and doesn't shy away from the not-always-pretty side of film and TV production.Mainly, Pat's positive attitude and the ability to find humor in tough situations is what makes her book such a fun read. I hope she writes another!” Peter WhiteFans can connect with Pat on her blog , her Facebook PatriciaTallmanPage , on Instagram @patriciatallman.rocks @quest.retreats4ners, or on Twitter @patriciatallman.If you meet Patricia at a convention, she will happily sign your book, Pleasure Thresholds, at no charge.
