Though the closed world of various institution and orders is seemingly totally removed from day today events as most people know them, such is not always the case. The same desires, physical sensations and everyday wants that effect us are also part of the makeup of some of today's established and respected institutions and professions. One has only to witness their increasing flight from cloister to hearth. THE HORNY LIBRARIAN is the story of one such individual. Perhaps the product of stringent upbringing, she seeks a release, though not one, which is manifest in a conventional form - a...

As our modem society becomes increasingly urbanized and the overall family structure weaker, we are seeing more of the phenomenon known as amorality. Newspapers today carry accounts of people who have never learned about good and bad, people who have never placed any value on human life, simply doing whatever a momentary whim dictated. The pervasive corruption in a high political office today offers yet another example. The women in this story are women of the present. Living lives of existential hedonists, they refuses to worry about tomorrow. Their main concern is for today, and the...

The facade of respectability often crumbles to dust with remarkable swiftness once its protective armor has been pierced. The relatively minor investigation into the conduct of one police officer results in the discovery of massive corruption within the force. A routine check by the government of a corporation's finances turns up damning evidence of widespread tax evasion, graft, kickbacks, bribes and payoffs. Insignificant-looking cysts reveal malignant tumors. And what of the facade of righteousness and puritan morality in the tree-shaded, picket-and wrought-iron-fenced suburbs of...

Today, what with the continuing rise of the divorce rate, many people seem more surprised when a marriage holds together than when it breaks up. Yet despite many dire predictions about the gradual death of matrimony, the trend seems to be toward changing the internal structure and workings of that institution, rather than abandoning it. We see an increasing number of books which dispense advice on how to make a marriage more "open." Sociologists have noted a tendency for many couples to form trial marriages in an attempt to gauge compatibility before legalizing their relationship. And...

Western man prides himself on his ability to forge his own destiny. And yet many people find that they are not always able to rule their own fates. Oftentimes a single, traumatic event will change and reshape their lives. There is the young girl who, after a brutal rape, becomes a bitter, frigid young woman. Or the bright, self-confident businessman who, after losing mast of his money in a poor stock investment, becomes a drunken derelict. So, too, does fate play a trick on Denise Stockton. Unhappy with her marriage, she takes a lover who opens up new vistas of pleasure to her, then leaves...

While the negative aspects of egotism and ambition are all too apparent, it is also true that for a man or woman to function adequately and maturely in a society, it is necessary to have a certain amount of healthy self-confidence. When a man or woman lacks self-confidence on a sexual level, it can be apparent in every aspect of their lives. It is often necessary to be sure of one's identity as a man or woman in order to be successful. Karen Johnson is a woman who suffers from a lack of sexual self-assurance. Buried in the drab, stern facade of her dental assistant career, Karen at last...

Outwardly, suburbia maintains the straitlaced middle-class look that belies the social ferment behind closed doors. There is the secret use of drugs, fed by the marijuana syndrome. There is the river of alcohol flooding from door to door under the euphemism of social drinking. Then, of course, inevitably, there is the advent of wife swapping. All in the spirit of good, clean fun... But where does the fun stop and the degradation begin? When one excess leads to another - and another - to what? This is the story of one couple in one neighborhood in one city, Anywhere, U.S.A. It is startling as...

The seething passions that lurk within many individuals are often hidden beneath a veneer of normalcy, exposed only under extremely tempting circumstances. The woman who, after a few drinks at a party, takes on all corners, male and female alike. The man who, during a strip show at a stag party, climbs up on stage with the girl and performs with her in front of his friends. The couple who, under group pressure, reluctantly join the neighborhood wife-swappers. Doreen Miller is one of these outwardly normal and quite proper people. A librarian in a small town, she quite deservedly has a...

How far will some people go to achieve those things that are important to them? A question as old as man. And as long as people have goals they feel are important, other people will feel as if they've been exploited for the sake of an individual's goals. Examples can be found everywhere that the end justifies the means for people whose personal achievement, or success, or personal desires, is the only thing that matters. THE SLUTTY LIBRARIAN is a story about a librarian who will do anything to satisfy her sexual desires - even if it means seducing teens. Although many people would consider...

Beneath the outward serenity of small towns run the same passions that we find in big cities and sprawling suburbia.

Several of the characters in this book find themselves on a collision course with people who are motivated by greed and lust. Blinded by their passions, they are destructive to themselves and those around them -...
