[First Class Woman 01] • Sexual Solstice

(50,000 words, 9 chapters) Gillian Pritchard, a stunning tall redhead, and advertising all star with a weakness for McQueen stilettos, and Balençiaga anything, has devoted twenty years of her life to one of London's most ball-busting ad agencies––a place where she would not compromise her principles for a deal––and because of that she now finds herself out of work. Her much older husband, Edgar, fleet street barrister and heir to the Pritchard family fortune, a man she hooked up with upon graduation, who was as sexy as the bulge in his pocket book, lost that loving feeling some five years into their marriage, and has mysteriously disappeared on a winter trip to the tropics. With the shortest day of the year upon her, and a spirit card handed to her from a fortune teller, Gillian has some demons to face: Continue in a sexless and emotionally stilted relationship, or face her true self, her true potential and all the ensuing possibilities. With the help of a good bottle of bubbly and some very silly friends the answers are always nearby.

Gillian reflects fondly on the strong sexual connections she had made over the years (as well as one significant indiscretion while married) while finally creating some new ones––in the cockpit of a 747 with two earnest pilots, in her five diamond hotel room in New York city with a room service/ actor (the crippler), and two gorgeous ballet dancers who work as a team, in the 19th precinct office with the needy gentle giant Sergeant McMullon, where she is held under arrest, and with two new swinging friends on Long Island at a Christmas party, and finally with an oh-so-sexy man she had had an encounter with fifteen years earlier, who rescues her from a botched kidnapping.

Through it all, Gillian Pritchard marvels at the "real her," a woman who still has the power to mesmerize, love and laugh.

Pop open a bottle of bubbly, get on your beach chair and languish in some fun, light hearted and very arousing sex. Join Gillian as she lives the high (and sometimes low) life in places like London, New York, Miami and The Caribbean.
