    About this ebook

    In her debut short story, Anne Hendricks captures the loss and rediscovery of a woman's sexual being in this contemporary romance. A Whiff Of Charlie begins with the deliberate preparation of a seduction of a total stranger by Charlie - to recapture sexuality. Stomping on her proper rearing, she embarks to a bar to find a specific type of sexy man with a dick that will enable her to feel like a woman. A woman renewed, restored, and reaffirmed in the heat of passion - even through a one night stand that shows how the magic of true love can be found...

    Anne Hendricks

    A former librarian, I am now working on the art of short stories, in both satire and humor, as well as historical and creative. I look for things in history few know about, but allows room for my imagination to interpret the "what if" for a story. I am currently finishing my debut novel, A WOMAN'S CHOICE, a Catholic contemporary romance that tackles the controversial subject of Post Abortion Stress Syndrome. I shelved books as a librarian for sixteen years....Now it is my turn to write. Come dream with me. Thanks!
