TIME TRAVELING HOOKERS
by S.E. Burr
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Three modern day roommates and recent college grads take a time machine
back to the Wild West. The time machine breaks, stranding them in the past
where they are forced to join a brothel to survive.
With the
help of future technology, they're able to trick their customers into thinking
they're getting what they pay for, without actually having to do the deed.
But the
scam involves getting much more up close and personal with smelly, 19th century
hicks than germaphobe and prude, Anastasia, is comfortable with.
One
customer seems sweeter, more attractive, and better groomed than the rest.
Could she actually fall for a cowboy from the dirty, disgusting past?
EXCERPT:
Etta hooted. “Art of lovemaking!” she said,
slapping her leg. “Well that’s the funniest thing I ever heard. Ain’t no art
going on here. Ain’t no love either. This is a business I’m keeping, and if you
want a room in my brothel, you’ll damn site bring in the money to pay for it.”
Beth was angry. Angry. And when Beth was angry
she’d say something she shouldn’t, or worse.
Anastasia put a restraining hand on Beth’s arm and
Beth glared at her.
“We’ll make money,” said Anastasia. “We’ll make you
plenty of money, but we’re tired and dirty. We’d like a bath and a bed so we
can be ready for tonight.”
“Well, we’ll see, give you a trial, like,” said the
woman. “Go on in. I won’t show you to your rooms. I don’t wear these dirty things
into the house, and I’ve got a good sight more work to do here, but hopefully
you can find your own way without waking the whole house. The girls are still
asleep, and there are some gentleman callers hanging around, who I’m sure don’t
want to be disturbed.”
They went into the whorehouse. It was nice, very
nice. On their first trip into the town,
Anastasia had taken it for a wealthy man’s house, a house big enough for a big
family, with sumptuous room to spare.
But as she now knew, this was a different kind of
house, and as she would soon learn, this was a different kind of family.
S.E.
Burr wrote Time Traveling Hookers over the course of a weekend at a Tom Bird
writing retreat in Santa Fe, NM. It is based on a dream she had a few weeks
prior to the retreat, but she did no advanced planning of the plot. She was
very surprised to discover that the story was a romance, as she did not often
read romances, let alone write them. She quite enjoyed the experience and
intends to write more romances in the future, but cautions that what she
intends to write and what she actually writes can be two very different things.
She
is the author of the young adult novel, Goblin Fruit, inspired by the poem
“Goblin Market” by Christina Rossetti.
The sequel, Goblin Girl, is coming soon. It was inspired by her desire
to find out more of the story.
A
nearly lifelong resident of rural New Mexico, S.E. Burr loves the desert, her
family, and her cat.
