Behind The Door
by A. Gavazzoni
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Psychological and Erotic Thriller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When
Lara dies at the hands of a Manhattan lawyer during a sex game, his defense
attorney, Carl, hires Simone, a psychiatrist, professor and author of books on
sexual behavior to help him buttress his argument that Lara’s death was
accidental. To help his defense, Carl’s client has written a detailed account
of his steamy, year-long relationship with Lara. Carl gives the text to Simone
for analysis. While evaluating the presumed killer’s writing, Simone continues
to receive psychiatric patients with sexual disorders and unusual fantasies,
and to research strange sexual behavior for her next book. Meanwhile, Simone’s
clinical partner, friend and research colleague, Edward, is working with the
police to capture a serial killer who is torturing and killing women. From hot
and unusual sex and interesting psychiatric patients, to the swing houses of
New York and Paris, this fast-paced page-turner is a blend of mystery,
suspense, humor, romance and erotica.

EXCERPT TWO:
“Yes
indeed, my friend. I’ve seen a lot in my short life. I’ve bent over backward to
please. I’ve been a puppet. That wasn’t for me, so one day I decided to stop.”
More
than a hint of pain showed in her eyes…unsettling to find in such a young and
beautiful woman. Who could have hurt her so much that she’d come to behave as
she did?
“I
know how it is,” I said. “It’s like apnea. What’s pleasurable at the start of
relationships doesn’t last because it’s not real. You’ve decided to be real,
once and for all.”
“Apnea?”
I’d
finally said something that had surprised her.
“Yes.
I like to go diving. Sometimes I dive without air tanks. I hold my breath. It’s
called apnea and you can do it for only so long. At the beginning of
relationships, people hold their breath. When they can’t do it anymore, they go
back to being who they are and relationships end.”
“I
adore that description.”

GUEST POST:
Five Reasons You Should Read My Book
It’s
hard to brag about my own work, but I believe there are some good reasons
readers would like my books
1) My books are like roller coasters – there
are emotional ups and downs all the time, the readers won’t have a monotonous
reading experience, and like riding a roller coaster, they are going to
experience highs and lows as they hate, love, cry, and laugh with my
characters.
2) To have fun – The psychiatric patients in
my novels are fun, they have their own language, and their medical conditions
provide for some funny scenes.
3) Learn about having compassion and not
judging – my books are about different behaviors, people judged “not normal” by
society. All of them have complicated lives or traumatic pasts that play a role
in their behavior, and this (hopefully) shows the reader you can judge a person
for what you see, but you have to know her deeply to pass sentence on her.
4) Readers are going to know places they don’t
dare to go in real life—places I don’t go, either! Swing houses and orgy
parties and nightclubs have their doors opened to the readers.
5) Be surprised every step of the way – As a
former FBI agent who endorsed my second novel said: “You are going to feel like
the special agent trying to decipher the crimes.”
