As a little vacation from suckage, I thought I would come clean with you all.
Y’see, I’ve got an alter identity. A couple of years ago, my dear friend Kathy Love and I got this great idea to write a book together. So we wrote it, largely by email and Instant Messenger, and had a blast doing it. Then we made up a pseudonym, and got it accepted by a publisher, and now it’s coming out as an e-book in October. Here’s the blurb:
coming from Samhain Publishing 28 October 2008
In space, no one can hear you cream.
Odilia is a nice planet. The sky is purple, the grass is yellow, the property prices aren’t that bad. But reproduction is painful, solitary, and asexual. Which is why the Odilians find the recently discovered “X-rated” disks from Earth so fascinating. And why the money-making scheme they’re hatching is so brilliant.
The plan is simple: abduct four Earthlings and juice them up on a heady pheromone cocktail. Then plop them in a variety of titillating holographic scenarios and market the results as reality entertainment—for vast profits.
The four chosen humans are strangers to each other, but not to life’s disappointments. Leandros, a lounge singer who’s never committed to anything longer than an Elvis medley. Eve, a interior designer who’s living a life much more beige than bold. Beau, a laid-back car mechanic who wants more from life than oil changes. And Cassandra, an innocent debutante who’s learned most of her sexual know-how from self-help books.
As unwilling—okay, sort of willing—stars of the Odilians’ budding intergalactic porn empire, the four of them consider their options. Relax and enjoy the ride? Try to escape?
How about fall in love?
Hopefully you’ll be hearing more about the mysterious B. H. Dark in the future. Meanwhile, come on over to B. H.’s myspace page and make friends with her! Er, us. Um, her.
Whatever.
