Shoes, Sex, and Wine

How Joanie became a wine Goddess

Caution!

This book might ignite a fire in you. Each sip contains forbidden information.

Drink it slowly. Drink deeply.

Joanie finds herself at the midpoint of her life. Without a partner, she relies on her three passions, shoes, sex, and wine. Her obsession with wine brings her into the terrifying world of quantum mythology. There she learns two things, somehow she holds the key to the future of goodness in the world and her chances of surviving the week are vanishingly small.

To her emotional and sexual delight, she discovers her soulmates, the God of Zinfandel and the Goddess of Chardonnay. Yes, even the gods end up in love triangles, especially wine gods. The novel is full of wine tasting, tradition, and history. Panpsychism is also woven into the storyline. The novel culminates in an insane road trip where all hell breaks loose, ending in a grand conflagration of hundreds of evil creatures, genetic scientists, gods, and goddesses and eventually setting into motion the grand ‘Deus Machina,’ the God-making generator.

After the exhausting and personally costly aftermath of solving the Darwin Killer case, beautiful and brilliant FBI Supervisory Special Agent Emmie Blanchet was looking forward to a little down time.

When their investigations lead them to the Pavlovian Research Institute, founded by an ex-colleague of Emmie’s father, the team discovers that the perpetrators may, in reality, be victims of mind control themselves. As the plot thickens and becomes more complicated, Emmie and Joel’s relationship and passion grow to new levels, and the pair realize that they want to spend the rest of their lives together. Will Emmie be able to find the source of these crimes and bring the killers to justice? Or will more lives be lost? Will she be able to survive an unimaginable personal loss and still effectively do her job? Will her training and experience help her survive?
