Nominated for the James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award! Some people dream in black and white. Some people dream in color. But Jenn's dreams are dark, and getting more perverse and twisted with each passing night. By day, she is a straight-A student, a hard-working waitress, and a dedicated girlfriend. But, when she turns out the lights and falls asleep, nothing is normal. Her boyfriend, Siyo, is using an ancient artifact called a Dream Snatcher to control her dreams and fulfill his darkest desires. Siyo weaves a story where sensual-seeking characters satisfy his carnal cravings, often at Jenn's expense: A lusty leprechaun ferrets fortune, a wicked witch fulfills fetishes, a vicious vampire steals sweets, a perverted puppet craves control. Under Siyo's command, Jenn struggles to balance integrity with indulgence, love with lust, and loyalty with letting go. Will the Dream Snatcher strengthen their relationship...or tear it apart? Dream Snatcher contains over 70 illustrations, and each chapter ends with a seductive recipe! From the Author: As a child, I created action-figure adventures combining what I watched on TV, read in books, or experienced in school with my imagination to create epic battles, undying romances, and forged alliances. Fonzie from Happy Days defeats Darth Vader, Barbie courts Stretch Armstrong, and GI Joe is beamed to the USS Enterprise and befriends Captain Kirk. I hit an age though, where responsibility replaced reverie. My box of action figures was forgotten somewhere in a cobwebbed corner of our basement and the fantasy generator inside of me was powered down, dismantled, and sold for scrap. I got undergraduate and graduate computer science and engineering degrees and poured my energy into information technology, working with organizations around the globe as diverse as communications, commodities, and candy. After 30 years in the technology field, 1.5 million miles flown, and 14 information technology books under my authorship, I stumbled across my box of action figures (I nearly broke my neck!) and rebuilt and restarted the fantasy generator inside of me, creating the adventure within these pages. I prefer dark fantasies, stories that stir something inside of us and make us more aware of our own relishes, infatuations, and passions. This book might be the first and only Romantic Fantasy Cookbook! Enjoy!
