    About this ebook

    The endless see-saw of love's pursuit and life's reality pierces the soul, and the heart wounded, compassionately sees at once injustice's hold, and loves freedom (Kent Beausoleil)

    Who got drunk on rain water because they had run out of booze? (Andras Farkas)

    She witnessed bosomy, naked women riding masked, masterful men like fanatical thunderbirds on the muddy streets; elegant, disguised women enlivened by the blossoming instrument of scruffy, criminal men trying to survive by penetrating flesh in the Risucchian gutters.

    Suddenly, her eyes gave birth to sacred abstractions
    She. She is writing. (Laura Gentile)

    They are writing. Shaking Thoughts. Edited by Dr Joan Barbara Simon, author of the novels Long Time Walk on Water and Mut@tus. Shaking Thoughts. Creative writing at its best.

    Joan Barbara Simon

    Dr Joan Barbara Simon writes historical fiction, romance novels and erotic literary fiction. Her novel, Mut@tus (2009), was shortlisted for the Eight Cuts Gallery Prize. Her historical novel, Long Time Walk on Water (2009), has been described as 'a reggae-type experience full of pride, poise & grace' (Goodreads). Joan's latest work of erotic literary fiction - Verses Nature - has been called compulsive repulsive reading. '200% delicious sin and literary genius', It tells of an erotic Kampf that could well end tragically... 'I've been called a literary terrorist. I rather like that. I've also been called a woman with a dick. I like that even more.' Joan lives in Luxembourg and has recently completed a second Ph.D. She's now on the lookout for new challenges.
