Summer Chickens(and A Velvet Web)

About the Book

Both written originally as screenplays, these two fast-moving novellas share the author's somewhat twisted and hopefully amusing take on sex, and also a cast of his quirkiest characters. One is a light romantic madcap comedy, and the other is a dark psycho-sexual thriller.

Meet a runaway host mother about to deliver a billionaire baby, a puritanical General with a dark secret, a secretary who hunts rapists, a phony preacher with a deadly surprise in his Bible, a ruthless but naive tabloid reporter looking for an expose, a socialite teenager who operates a lurid fetish website, and a nice middle-aged couple out tempting themselves with a taste of the swinging fast life. Good not entirely clean fun.
