A Pink Mist


John Bercaw - 2013
    A circuitous route through troubled teenage years and four years in the Marines led him to Fort Wolters, Texas, and the US Army’s Warrant Officer Rotary Wing Aviation Course. For the first time in his life, he felt a deep sense of belonging. John’s successful struggle to master the beast called helicopter earned him an all-expense-paid trip to South Vietnam and the opportunity to prove himself as a combat pilot. His year of war was not as expected. Awed by the lush landscapes of Vietnam and the unexpected moments of war’s savage beauty, Bercaw changed his mind about war and its effect on the men who fought in it. He found himself able to overcome fear and doubt in combat and do his job to the best of his ability. Based on the books he had read and the movies he had seen, he had not anticipated the addiction to the highs and lows brought on by the intensity of war. The difficult part came at the end. Leaving Vietnam before the war was over, the sudden end to the daily adrenalin rushes and the sense of being part of something important—aggravated by the shameful reception experienced by all returning veterans—initiated a period of depression that haunted him for years.

With a point-by-point study of "Fifty Shades of Grey", Thurlow provides insider tips of writing romance erotica. She shows how to create living characters, and how to keep readers glued to the page by "showing" what's happening through action, not "telling" the reader with dull explanation. There are selections from the first Master of Erotica, the Marquis de Sade, and how erotica has changed through the ages; excerpts from Thurlow's own writing; a list of erotic publishers hungry for new material - and lots more. For writers setting out to write romantic erotica, and for established writers who want to add a sharp new tool to their erotic toolbox, "The Fifty Shades of Grey Phenomena" is essential reading. Chloë Thurlow is the author of five acclaimed novels, numerous erotic short stories and essays. "Ms. Thurlow's writing is captivating. The fantasy she builds flows with a hint of conspiracy and I would recommend this book to those who want to read about some of the lesser-known BDSM fetish play." The Romance Reviews, on "A Girl's Adventure", an Xcite Books top-selling title.

By turns heartwarming, funny, sad, and wise, the letters showcase a remarkable range of voices and subjects. From the indignant young boy urging his bully to become "a better man," to the woman apologizing to the girl she picked on in high school, to a man thanking the woman who protected his family from Nazis, the letters bring together an outpouring of emotion that is as compelling as it is cathartic.
