Heavenly Pleasure

Strange things are happening in a bohemian section of Richmond, Virginia. The eternal war between good and evil is facing off over the next jump in human evolution, universal bliss, the end of terrorism, road rage, and fighting over the remote control. Welcome to “Perilous” Parkwood Avenue where Angel has a mission to ensure the pieces of the cosmic puzzle come together.

Angel knows each resident has a part in unlocking the secrets of cosmic energy, the next phase of human spiritual evolution and the key to the autonomic orgasm. Kali Sen is an exotic dancer and potential savior of humanity; Eve Savage, whose basement laboratory is the source of earth-shaking explosions; Eric and Ted, life-partners whose Christian Adult Book Store – Heavenly Pleasure – sells such items as the OGOD orgasmatron, and John Wye, designated chronicler of the next paradigm of mankind unite in Angel’s mission.

So why is Reverend Roberts so hellbent on shutting down Heavenly Pleasure, that he will enlist any force in his objective, including the Devil himself and his reluctant protégée Clay, with a knack for controlling energy? Why does the Ice Cream Man peddle such flavors as Wicca Wild Berry, Holy Mary Cherry and Spanish Inquisition Surprise, that do much more than satisfy your sweet tooth?

Heavenly Pleasure, a darkly hilarious novel, takes the reader on a fabulous ride up in Richmond’s Fan District, from Vlad’s Continental Lounge to Hollywood Cemetery and the tomb of Richmond’s most famous Vampire, from the folklore of its past to the metaphysical awakening of its future.

Like Mikhail Bulgakov’s literary masterpiece The Master and Margarita, Heavenly Pleasure takes aim at what’s wrong with society using God and the Devil as literal interpretations of a metaphorical critique.
