Jack Joseph is a drop-out physicist cleaning swimming pools to support a lifestyle of addiction and detachment. He has a wife divorcing him, a wealthy woman seducing him and the justice system convicting him. Jack’s personal cosmos is spiraling out of control. When he meets Sarah his universe further expands. The Gravitational Constant he studied at university lacked the velocity with which their galaxies rushed toward one another. It was a life changing Big Bang. A new and brighter Jack was created and he found his supreme happiness. But there was a lot of space junk in the form of addiction and legal consequences standing in the way of his pool boy quest toward bliss.

Woah, easy with the science talk! What genre is this book?
Offbeat & Quirky romance.

What kind of readers will it appeal to?
Romance readers, even some who lean towards erotica as there is a tasteful S & M scene in the story.

Oh really? You’ve got our interest now. What else should we be on the lookout for?
Conflicted characters in romantic quandaries.

Tell us a bit about these characters.
Jack Joseph: In his search for the God particle Jack Joseph has lost control of the most important particle of existence, himself. Jack’s intellect may have expanded at the speed of light, but his emotional development is mired in the darkness of addiction. Without change Jack is accelerating towards a personal collision that would render his interest in the cosmic one irrelevant.

Rosemary Langtree: Rich, middle aged, married, controlling BDSM hedonist. She controls Jack with his weakness with addiction to alcohol and drugs, luring him into a sexual world not of his choosing.

Sarah Jane: A legal secretary stuck in a marriage that doesn’t fulfill her romantic or intellectual needs. She loves Jack.

Have you written any other books that we should read next?
The Death of Anyone.

Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m a Former Michigan 911 operator living in the Cincinnati area. I raised a couple of hybrid wolves while living on the Keweenaw Peninsula in northern Michigan, but have switched, due to environmental constraints, to feral cats. My work has appeared in The Tampa Review, Detroit News, Monarch Review, Lunch Ticket, Zodiac Review, Barbaric Yawp and Bull. Books include Children of the Enemy, Alpha Wolves, Maggie Elizabeth Harrington and The Death of Anyone. I am a wolf expert.

Raised by wolves, huh? You should found an Italian city. Do you have a website where we can keep up with your work?
