Beyond You & Me is a novel based on a journal loaned to me by the “real” Cassie DiMarco. While her life has turned out very well, she remembers what it was like to be 24, female and stuck in a dead-end job, tempted by the hedonistic promises of the Sexual Revolution. I persuaded her to let me turn her journal into a novel, one that brings to life a timeless– and timely story. Timeless because we’ve all felt the tug of temptation. Timely, because the president of Harvard recently asked whether women are inferior to men in math and science.

But at its most basic, Beyond You & Me is a love story about a married woman who must balance two men in her life. It’s sexy and even explicit in parts because it was a journal that was never intended to see the light of day. My goal in putting parts of it up on the Web is to convince the agents and editors there is a market for a book this unusual. It’s not at all superficial “chick lit,” nor erotica, nor ancient social history. It’s a damned good story about a young woman whose adventures allow her to emerge on the other side of an emotional ordeal whole, confident and, most importantly, herself.

I invite those reading this to sample the prose, make comments, link up and most importantly, tell their friends. New additions are made every week or so. Check back and have fun with this remarkable woman. And while I encourage everyone to refer friends with the referral feature, please remember the materials on the site are copyrighted and may not be re-published without the author’s permission, including the photographs.
