I couldn't put the book down - especially being a Seattlite and familiar with the "alternative" crowd - if you like or are just interested in the psychology of s&m and the art of it, then this is a great book, and it is very entertaining. It makes the bizarre seem strangely normal. It is quite moody and captures the Scorpionic Seattle energy. Not an easy feat in itself. I can't wait for the next book by Ms. O'Donnell. - An , posted 12/21/08 |

It's a love story, but with scalpels. :-) (Seriously, I am a gothic bellydancer who has written a novel. This 'book review' listing format seemed the right choice for tribe.net to let everyone know about it) Novel description: After a vampiric nocturnal encounter with a mysterious female apparition who infiltrates his dreams, iconoclastic film director Simon Mercer enters an elusive world of masked identities and erotic games of increasing danger. His struggle to reclaim himself spirals from the set of his Hollywood thriller to a lakeside Seattle mansion, where art and excruciation intertwine. In the contemporary literary novel "Scar Flowers," primal questions are acted out as physical tests: Do you desire me? Can I trust you? Will you be faithful? Love and death are the most dangerous realms. Nowhere else are we so naked—or so human. [To read the first chapter of my book online, use the hyperlink and look for the "Preview this Book" button under the cover art. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for reading my listing.] Review from Christine W., technical editor--Scar Flowers's first reader!: "What an amazing book! The whole movie world and S&M world … I couldn’t put it down. Really fascinating characters, great tension, and fabulous writing. You’re especially good at describing sensations in ways that aren’t cliché—very hard, I think! And sex scenes! I think those are the hardest to write, and you’ve got so many. I’m surprised this didn’t find a publisher. I realize it would not be, perhaps, the most mainstream publisher, but I would think it would find a home. You’re really such a good writer and brave, too. I’m glad you self-published it. This novel should be read. I’d love to hear what inspired you to write those characters and about your research.
