In a post-reparations future at an office of psychiatrists discreetly prescribing free sex sessions along with standard therapy, an idealistic staffer starves her love life and ignores her therapist as she must transform the quiet practice into the next big sensation before their enemies shut them down from the shadows.

Additional Project Info

After being raised in a household that loved music like Marvin Gaye’s, this idea came to me years ago, probably when I wrote a few erotic romances about other multicultural groups. Years before that, a wonderful therapist said I was development oriented, wanting to learn and better myself. Being raised by teachers, that made lots of sense, and it’s probably why stories of striving to thrive resonate with me. I also believe in and have experienced the affirming and transformative power of sex. My husband sometimes calls me a touch junkie, but I think lots of people need more human connection, especially now. So why not, if only in fantasy, make sex available, in a thoughtful, healthy, revolutionary way, to people going through tough times?
