A beauty who finds ecstasy with a homely man, a couple that reveal secrets while making love, a young girl who tells herself arousing stories in bed, a scientist who discovers the perfect aphrodisiac, a wife who is nostalgic for an orgy she hated years before in Rome - the subjects in this collection are engaging and erotic. "Boss Lady" plays with the feminist idea of a woman in control. "Green Silk Panties" extols the virtues of a younger man. "Yearning at Yaddo" shows the sly link between frustreation and creation. Some of the stories use innovative forms; many of them end with stinging surprises. Each displays a sensibility at once reflective and passionate. These are daring and sensual stories from a superb prose stylist.

Product Description
From the Author
These stories are literary and erotic.
My best review: "Catherine Hiller writes with a fine directness and clarity. . . Good, brave and joyful writing." --- John Updike. "Not for the prudish" -- Publisher's Weekly. I'm especially happy to see these stories in a collection, as they have been written over a fifteen-year period and most were unpublished. They are formally innovative and somewhat explicit. Most of them contain a surprise. And it's one of the very few books with an e-mail address on the cover, so I do welcome reader comments. What I really want to know is: which is your favorite story? "A celebration of life inside and outside the epidermis." -- Publisher's Weekly. The cover is beautiful.
