Product Description

Product Description

Desires Reborn is a collection of unique erotica. It is different because the central characters are disabled people, and disability sexuality can still make society uncomfortable.

Complete with a special exclusive story with a Paralympic twist, the collection is published as the 2012 Paralympic Games hit London. The focus of the world will be on the disabled athletes. But as the sport heats up, what about ordinary disabled people? And sex? And love?

Author Penny Pepper leads an extraordinary and dramatic life, not merely because she is disabled. Punk claimed her at an early age, and in the 1990s her own band Spiral Sky made no 2 in the Italian indie charts.

For the print version of this book, Penny worked with Tony Cowell, brother of Simon Cowell of X-Factor fame. Winning an ‘Erotic Oscar’, nude modelling and burlesque performing are a few of the other roles she has found herself in as she strives to break down barriers and discrimination.

Desires Reborn takes us on a new journey into the complications and yearnings of lust at its most demanding, and also the delicacy of first love, and of passion never known.

‘Summer Lightening Days’, recounts Linda deciding to lose her virginity to a hospital porter at a physiotherapy rehab centre, while Jean in ‘Postcards for Jean’ hears her niece making love and wonders if her own life will every change. Ellie swelters with forbidden passion for a younger man in ‘Lava Lamp,’ and in a new exclusive story ‘Bound and Devoted’ both Adrian and Bethany have kinky secrets to spill against the backdrop of the 2012 Games.

Rob Young, award winning writer, says: ‘Desires Reborn is an intelligent examination of desire and disabled people. And if it is passion you’re after why choose grey when you can have scarlet?

‘Penny’s intelligence and sheer exuberance sing from the page. There is an elegant mind at work here. She distils her passion then filters it through craft without ever losing a drop of its raw emotion. That is a rare skill and should not to be underestimated.’

Ultimately, Desires Reborn is a rude, lewd, sad and provocative collection on a subject every human being can relate to.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book 6 Sep 2012
This really is a modern day classic. When people think of passion, they assume that it's vulgar, but Desires Reborn is anything but. It's an elegant and intelligent piece of writing that has sex as its subject matter, as a way of illustrating the human condition. And as with all really good writing, it's easy to read. I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked it up, me being a cynic an' all (and there's so much rubbish out there) so I scanned the first page, then the next, and before I knew it, I was 42 pages in and couldn't put it down. A real miss-your-stop-on-the-tube-because-you're-too-busy-thinking-covert-thoughts type of book, and I'm a prude, believe me. It'd a daft thing to say but my life felt a bit better after reading this book, a little more naughty and a little more happy. What more do you want than that? Go on, make yourself blush, you know you want to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, a real page turner 26 Sep 2012
I really, REALLY enjoyed this book. As a non-disabled person, I wasn't sure what to expect, or if i would be able to relate to some of the stories and characters in it. But this is a book about love, desire, and the human condition. The stories it contains are stories that anyone will be able to relate to and enjoy, regardless of (dis)ability or background. The stories are erotic and compelling, without being smutty or tawdry. (The sort of book you could lend to your mum). Ms. Pepper writes about the human experience with warmth and humour. (At times, I couldn't stop laughing while reading it) She makes her characters come to life and jump off of the page, and her stories and descriptions stay with you long after you have finished reading. It was a real page-turner for me, and i was sad to finish it. Definately 5/5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this beautifully written unique work 2 Dec 2012
Coming at a time of unprecedented attacks on disabled people since the Nazis, this is an important book, which is a collection of disability erotica. Penny Pepper has an ability to describe the discovery of disability sexuality.

It is beautifully written, and starts remarkably with a story which is totally unique, which is a very rare claim for any piece of writing. It is called 'Girls wank too' and tells about masturbation in a hospital, and bristles with wit and truth. Next is Postcards for Jean, which is full of irony and Fooling for Charlie seems biographic. Thunder Lightning Days is enlightening in that like Postcards for Jean, it clearly describes the trap of disability and over protection. It also eloquently details the trap of an overbearing society. The Summer is Free, another story to challenge assumptions, is followed by Seven, an epic tale of a woman's search for sexual truth. Lava Lamp uses a powerful sexual metaphor while Bound and Devoted is a story told with fun, honesty which is also deliciously naughty. An achievement.
