Publisher's Synopsis
Callipygia is a place, or, maybe just a state of mind, for if you go there, and partake, you will become changed...forever. Stephanie Daniels, 29, journalist for the Sheyenne Eagle, has received the assignment of her life. Too many women have gone missing in the region of the South Dakota Black Hills...plus there's the rumor of a lesbian sex slave camp. And the sidebar of men smelling of alcohol wandering on back roads and telling of being abducted, drugged, tied up, and used as a stud. Are the three stories related? Stephanie will go undercover to find out. She'll be glad to get out of town for awhile too, and get away from her boyfriend. He's not abusive, exactly, but he's also not the love of her life. In fact, she feels, they live together expressly for the purpose of neither being alone-she really hates their relationship, but has never allowed herself to say it, or even think it! On the bus ride to the Black Hills she comes to realize her long string of meaningless relationships have been a prelude and learning experience to what she really wants: The love of another woman! Weeks will pass as she interviews the families of the missing women, and the-so-called-abducted-used-as-studs-men, but very little information arises about the Dakota Amazons, as the locals have named the imagined lesbian sex slave camp. Feeling discouraged and wondering if she should return to her job without the main story, she relaxes in a bar one night, feeling tearful and more alone than ever when a blonde woman appears in the outside door and causes Stephanie's stomach to turn into a whirlwind. What's going on? No man has ever caused her to feel so...so-she couldn't even give her feelings a description. The young woman notices her too, and approaches, and introduces herself as Megan, and mentions seeing Stephanie's tears, and tells Stephanie she needs a break, and offers to take her to the mythical land of Callipygia. Reviews: 4.0 out of 5 stars Wow what a ride and not one for the faint hearted, October 26, 2013 By DMJOHNSTON "DMJ" (New Zealand) The story is intricately woven, with an interesting plot twist. It kept me guessing and on the edge of my seat from start to finish! The heroines actions had me scratching my head at the beginning of the story, until I realised we don't always make wise choices, but thankfully most of us come away unscathed. The story is raw, and at times brutal, but is also one of hope, love and survival. Contain: FF, non-con, kidnapping, abuse, violence, murder. ** 4.0 out of 5 stars Amazed, October 21, 2013 By Amazon Customer I started this book because i needed something to read until i got my other books in the mail. I thought it was boring at first but then kept reading and I'm glad I did. It was very interesting and starting capturing my attention more and more. It was a great book and i enjoyed it very much. Took me by surprise. ** 4.0 out of 5 stars Fast-Paced, Different, and Good, September 24, 2013 By Tina Dunn (Asheboro, North Carolina) I wish there were half-stars, because this really deserved 4 1/2 stars. The concepts, style, and descriptive writing really bring you into the story. There are a few flaws - but very few. I put off reading it because I thought it may be erotic and did not want to read erotica, but after reading Nelson's "The Bellwether," I enjoyed his style enough to give it a shot. I was not disappointed.
