The Sound of High Heels Paul Gouda

This novel explores the emotional battle of love and lust as fought by many men and women in their search of romance in the wrong places. To no avail, they all had flown beyond earth's orbit, jumped over the moon's fence, and dug deep below a dark past to bury their hearts behind the sun before dawn.

Love eluded them all. They had the wrong map. They followed the wrong route. Peter and his insecurities. Dan, Jeff, Mary, and their manufactured love. Ramona, Amanda, and Liz who wanted it all. Adam and others who challenged the rules and won!

In vain, they all cheered for "sex" to be the capital city of the illicit kingdom of love. They raised the wrong banner. They sang the wrong anthem. And everything went wrong!

Even the man who lived for his love for women was trapped on a small Gilligan-like island with a gay guy. For months, the two thoughts of two very different characters debated love and life. Peter's version of poetic romance longing for a woman's touch, her hair, and the sound of high heels. And Adam's theory that love is merely the physical sensations on the head of the penis.

The novel offers a feast of factual and fictional entertainment, a creative writing with a subtextual musical theme to it, and science dancing with poetry. It has it all: sex, adventure, science, romance, poetry, suspense, comedy, religion, and politics. It will entertain you yet will provoke you. Whether you're a woman or a man, religious or atheist, heterosexual or homosexual, American or Canadian, conservative or liberal, it will challenge you.

It's a novel for the elite reader by the author of Intoxicated Emotions, The Scent of the Full Moon, and The Purple Dream.

Warning: The novel plot necessitated several romance scenes of a graphically explicit sexual nature intended for adult readers.
