Known for her gang bang, The Houston 620, her adventures in labiaplasty [she reportedly sold her labia for an estimated $50,000 according to online auction, Erotic Bid], and a prom date with a high school student in Staten Island, Houston retired from the adult business in 2003 and has been living in Las Vegas.

In 2008 Houston was diagnosed with cancer (now in remission) and decided to pen her memoir, which she recently completed. According to the Las Vegas Weekly, when it came time to look for a publicist who could get both national and international exposure for her book, recommendations from friends in the industry all came back to Brian Gross.

Houston: Pretty Enough will hit stores in June, and Gross is already hard at work developing a publicity campaign. He flew out to Vegas last month to oversee a photo shoot with Houston. He stayed at her house and she cooked him dinner; they walked her dog and got to know each other better.

“It’s a team effort,” Houston emphasized. “He wants me to succeed just as much as I want him to help me.”
