I’m publishing a new novel (and launching a new publishing company, Anslem Press; more on that soon). Divorce! An Erotic Novel will be published under the pseudonym Dawna Bond as an experiment, to see whether readers, of any gender, are more likely to purchase “an erotic novel” when a female-presenting name is one the cover (I suspect they are).
Synopsis:
Don’t get me wrong: I think Karl thought he loved Angela, at first. Looking back over our session notes, that much is obvious. And he thinks he grew to love her for real—at least a little bit—over the first couple years of their relationship. But by the end, I’m afraid, he was capable of feeling nothing toward her but anger, resentment, and a sorrowful disappointment. Like the rest of us, he’ll likely bear the weight of those feelings forever. And even though the collapse of their relationship was, from a certain perspective, my fault, I like to believe I’m helping him find respite—at least a little bit—during our…let’s call them “ongoing solo sessions.”
So begins the erotic confession of Kate, a disturbed couples therapist with deep wounds and a tendency to get a little too close to her clients as she navigates celebrity parties, sex clubs, and her own relationship turmoil in Los Angeles, California.
