    About this ebook

    Women have long been used by unwise and wicked people as the workhorses of humanity, and given nothing but shame, infamy and ridicule in return. Looking around me, I see that many have only half-gotten the message that we must be equal to men, and the vast majority of people are ignorant of the scapegoating that the powerful and wicked use on women and many minorities, in order to preserve their power and privilege. Conspiracies are the rule in circles of power, and there is a vast one being perpetrated by religious leaders and ultra-wealthy, connected men in the U.S. and elsewhere. Their chosen enemy is the equality of all people, and so that country's quasi-democracy sinks into morbid senility. Will equality perish as a hope everywhere? Let's sit back and watch.

    When not writing, I can be found daydreaming in my sunroom or painting my partner's splendid toenails. I like to write poetry and fiction that either titillate, provoke, or both. Much of what I put to paper is based on my personal experience and private fantasies - it's hard to distinguish between the two, even for me. My partner has a sweet little cat called Quigley, and she spends her time on my lap while I write. I don't know what matters more - our dreams, reality, or the transformation of dreams into reality. Quigley seems to know as she purrs away, but she can't say. That is why us humans spend so much time searching and creating - we want that elusive moment when our animal nature is in harmony with our intellects, and we can, for an instant, see through the eyes of the human animal. There is magic in the air all about us, if only we look for it.wildrosecherry@gmail.com
