JA-VEL! by John Stag Hanson – Genre: Young Adult Novel A heroic black Tarzan-like warrior in a prehistoric sub-Congo kidnaps the drug-addicted sister of a black paleontologist into Ja-vel's netherworld of dinosaurs, gigantic spiders, carnivorous flora and keys to the future of the planet; he and his campus/Nat Geo team - and the girl's dealer boyfriend - give chase. TOM AND HEATHER WELLESLEY by John Stag Hanson – Genre: Ribald Humor/Novel Sexy social dramedy spring-boarded by an L.A. Times article about the recent social/avant-garde phenomenon of hot-wifing, an updating of swinging in which only the wife or female partner participates directly as the seductress - while hubby holds back until later with only her (ever) - “appreciating” her desirability to other males. Here, a nice-but-boring, out-of-shape family couple in their thirties whose intimacy and excitement have waned explore a culture of their own making, not knowing in the beginning that it is already a nearly-worldwide online phenomenon. This aside, in the beginning Heather Wellesley faces a serious learning curve as her seduction techniques with other men meet, ironically, with varying degrees of (initial) failure. (50 Shades of Grey métier, but lighter, "friskier:" more Irma la Douce than Body Heat.) |
