 Originally entitled "The Intimacy Maelstrom"


IT WILL HAVE YOU GASPING FOR FRESH AIR AND SUNLIGHT


This book was originally published as "The Intimacy Maelstrom." Later,
it was republished in an abridged edition  as "Dissection of Desire." In the
abridged edition, two characters were omitted from the storyline, Dmitri
and Irina.

This is a story about relationships--bonds of passion between men and women. The drama revolves around six individuals, their amorous intimacies, and the unperceived wounds and psychological mutilation they sustain as they plummet into THE INTIMACY MAELSTROM.

Dmitri is a young Russian intent on achieving the American dream, and thinks little of marriage and fatherhood. In contrast, unattractive Irina fears becoming an old-maid. Her work colleague, Caroline, older, sophisticated, despite having a soul-mate, is bored and seeking breathtaking romance. In his twilight years, Dr. Ramirez is dispirited in his burned-out marriage, but believes he is too old to alter his life, until meeting Claire, a sexy patient. Unfortunately Nina, his wife, is an old-fashioned woman who believes that only marriage, children, and family bring fulfillment. Into this melange comes Ronny, her son--handsome, sexy, a sensualist--who adores women, but in his own aberrant, warped manner.

The author penetratingly paints in vivid colors, a picture of tormented lives, entangled in passionate but toxic, perverted, unhealthy relationships. Although the lovers may strip themselves of their lacerating liaisons, do they walk away unscarred and unscathed? The novel flawlessly illuminates the imperceptible damage and mayhem sustained when our lives and happiness depend upon fickle, unreliable love from others. The bold, flaming, shattering scenes portrayed may have one gasping for fresh air and sunlight.
