For Immediate Release

Elizabeth City, NC – While the growing field of psychology offers awe-inspiring perspectives into all manner of life’s wide spectrum, almost everyone in the world, including the professionals, are still dumbfounded by the basic tug-of-war between male and female relationships. It’s an intricate subject few authors would dare explore but, in her searing new novel, Jocelyn Otis-Coleman charges into this most elusive of feats.

It all plays out in ‘My One-Night Stand With God’s Assassin’, which will leave readers debating every shred of their existence.

Synopsis:

My One-Night Stand with God’s Assassin Pamela Jacobs’ ex-Duke roommate, Sarah Brody a New York assistant editor, calls, “Jump on the next plane to Boston! I’ve just read a manuscript destined to make your Bible read like Huckleberry Finn and my Torah seem like a Girl Scout handbook.” Pam tries to tell Sarah that she’s already maxed out all her credit cards, but hears only a click. What should have been a 60-minute drive from Logan Airport becomes four hours by the time she pulls her rental car into Dr. Carneades’ drive way in Newtowne, New Hampshire. ‘There’s still snow on the ground! Azaleas and dogwood are out in Durham!’ In the ensuing battle – Eve against Adam, female against male, young against old, South versus North, Scarlett O’Hara against General Sherman, Southern Baptist battling a non-theist, Asheville, North Carolina versus Boston, Massachusetts, Dixie Conservative battling Yankee Liberal, the interviewer becomes the interviewee. After nine hours of this war of two worlds, her book review unprintable in any newspaper or magazine she can think of — her VISA maxed out, her waitress job lost, and her plane missed, she lies shivering and naked in his guest bedroom having expected to be back in her own bed that night, she plots… ‘Maybe this trip hasn’t been a total disaster … a smart man’s baby – at last a grandbaby for G-Mom…

“I wanted to write something that would push readers out of their comfort zone, force them to confront the unconventional and ultimately leave them reconsidering the core of their beliefs,” explains Otis-Coleman. “Their conceptions, feelings and biases will all be put under the spotlight, likely to be changed for good. In short, this is so much more than a story!”

Continuing, “The book is written in a very raw style that remains uninhibited in terms of exploring subject matter some authors may feel is too taboo or risky to make it onto a novel. In my opinion, these out-of-the-ordinary subjects make for the most profound reading experiences that can even help people see the world and their place within it in an entirely new light.”

Readers agree that the book is powerful. For example, one Amazon customer comments, “Interesting psychological perspective on female-male relationships as well as young-old. A good read for someone looking for something unlike many other books. Or, something that will challenge their way of thinking….Overall worth the time.”
