Synopsis

Prostitution is legal. Money is openly worshipped as a god. Children of the elite are grown in artificial hosts instead of their mother's womb. Ultimate luxury hotels supply their clientele with AI sex droids created solely to fulfill every fantasy. Stupendous wealth is a moral imperative - not only to sustain, but grow, by any means necessary. Human life is disposable. Dolly, Keisha and Tanja are three human sex workers trying to make it in a world where living flesh is becoming obsolete. Sarcastic, bawdy, and completely loyal to each other, the women work the streets and cheap hotels every night while Kyle, their driver, keeps a protective eye over them. One day, woken by one of her chronic nightmares, Dolly goes for a jog in an attempt to clear her head. Finding herself in an unknown area, she accidentally stumbles onto a terrible secret which soon puts all their lives in danger. Now they must run from a ruthless, unstoppable enemy who has eyes and ears everywhere.

bio

Author Biography

I am a Writer/Artist in New York. I've done work for the Alice Tully estate, illustrated a coloring book for Paul Newman's Double "H" Hole in the Woods ranch for kids with cancer, made displays for the Long Island Shakespeare Society, have work on permanent display at the Russian Tea Room in Manhattan, written a memoir (out for publication soon) where nine readers said it helped them to not commit suicide. I wrote and illustrated the children's book Hurt Magic to help kids deal with the wounds bullying and/or abuse cause. I used to teach art therapy at an abused children's home. I was good at it because I was one of them. So, you can do two things with a manure pile of memories: drown in the stink or turn it into compost and grow a garden. I used my past to help those kids, to help anyone I can. That's what my books are for. That's what I love to do. And I'm good at it.

Book Excerpt

Manifest Destiny

The limo soon entered a wooded area dense with ponderosa pines, eventually turning down a winding gravel lane. Dolly was half reclined across the seat, resting her eyes. Jorge was bent over his phone. Sean sat quietly watching the scenery until the limo turned down a private drive. Then he sat up, suddenly alert.

“This is wrong,” he whispered. “Hey, wake up. This is wrong!”

“What’s up?” Jorge asked.

“We’re going the wrong way.” Sean tapped the coordinates into the car panel. “It’s the correct coordinates on the screen but we’re not following it.”

Dolly leaned in. “Order the car to stop.”

“Royce, stop the car.”

There was no response. Sean barked the order again. “Royce, stop the car!”

Jorge tried the door handles. “They’re locked.”

“Well, this is fucking great. So much for your dampers and scramblers, Sean,” Dolly said, shoving at the back window. “Ego comes before a fall, my ass.”
